Jessica Simpson’s Dad: Big Fan of John Mayer

John Mayer has won over Joe Simpson.  Although he didn’t have a lot to live up to, being that Papa Joe didn’t really like Jess’ ex-husband, Nick Lachey.  “Everybody thought, including my father, that my marriage to Nick would kill my career,” Jessica told 20/20 in 2004, a year before she and Lachey separated.

So it’s green lights all the way for Jessica and John.  “If Jessica is in love, I love the things she is in love with,” Joe Simpson, 49, told People magazine of Mayer at the Entertainment Weekly upfront party at The Box in New York City on Tuesday.
