Jessica and John continued to look adorable while vacationing in Rome. Jess and Nick took a trip to Tuscany two years ago as a last ditch effort to save their marriage but evidently Italy didn't have the same effect it's having on her and John. There's been lots of flirting, hand-holding, and prolonged eye-gazing. Let's just say it's pretty obvious what's going on here. Here's more about their trip:
Simpson and Mayer were all smiles when they checked into their $2,000-a-night suite at the luxury Hotel De Russie, which is popular with Hollywood stars and royalty. After spending two hours settling in, they emerged hand in hand for a leisurely lunch at Dal Bolognese, a favorite eatery of Tom Cruise.
The couple spent more than two hours noshing on pasta and salad and sipping wine while pouring over guide books.
“They were smiling and laughing and just having a good time,” a waiter tells Usmagazine.com. “There was also a lot of hand holding going on.”
Apparently they continued on to do some shopping where they purchased quite a bit at Fendi. On a side note, Ken must feel so proud of how wonderful Jessica's hair looks these days.

I think it's so weird that she grew up in a minister's home, and now she spends the night with her boyfriend in hotels all over the world. I don't get it. Why make such a big deal out of that whole virginity thing the first time? Is it only necessary to remain a virgin until one's FIRST marriage, and then after that, it's a free for all? I just don't get it.
1I know this is silly, but it's still so odd to me seeing she and Nick with other people. I gotta get over it! lol
2they are so cute together
3It is odd broken..it still bothers me a little bit too! But this is the first time i have seen him smile and i have never said this but they are starting to grow on me as a couple because they do seem so happy
4**Not only is England beautiful, but it brings me 2 of my fav. men....Gavin & David**
I don't know. I just don't get them as a couple. I'm not a fan.
5soon it will over..hopefully
6I am so loving them! They look great together.
7I am so sad by this. John has totally negated himself in so many people's minds, including mine. Everything he says about not wanting to be in the spotlight and then he goes and dates one of the most photographed people. As far as I am concerned, he is a total sell-out.
And I agree, why does Jessica say she holds such high standards? I wish she would take the Bible verse off her website.....
8Jessica is growing on me with her new look, but don't get this pairing at all.
I get a little wierd seeing nick and Jessica with other people too!
9i was really irritated about the jessica/nick break up, but i actually think she has grown up and that having done so, john is probably more her type. nick is always going to be the jock who wants the cheerleader type, and he has his cheesy match made in heaven with vanessa... they can go get matching tattoos or something. jessica, i think, didn't want to be the cutesy wife of the jock... she wanted to be more badass or something. umm. what am i talking about?
10i like them as a couple, but i feel badly for nick. i bet it makes him sad that she really just wasn't happy with him anymore.
RCL: Strange, unless you think about how that minister was more than happy to push her into the completely a-moral business she's in now, how he's been whoring both her (and her sister) around for years, how he sits by on set and supervises while she soaps herself up and writhes around on the bonnet of a car, and how he makes comments on how hot she is and how great her boobs are! The question is less "What happened to her?" and more "What happened to him???"
I don't get these two either... maybe I'm overly suspicious of everything the Simpson clan get up to (see above) but I don't buy this pairing as legitimate. Can it really just be a coincidence that i never heard of John Mayer till he got with her? Or that I was thinking Jess was just a dumb, washed up slut till she got with him?
11She looks happy. Good for her
12Kiki...you had NEVER heard of him?? See....that is what makes me so sad about this. He is an excellent, gifted musician and songwriter on his way to legendary status and now he is known as nothing but her rebound....
13i'm shocked that you've never heard of him either. he's a true musician with wonderful talents and he's won a few grammys. i don't know.. sometimes they look cute together but my opinion of him definitely changed after they got together
14i love them together. I hope they last!
15Maybe he's not as big in Europe?
I first saw pics of them together maybe 6-8 months ago and that was definitely the first I heard of him! I'm not even especially clueless when it comes to music stuff but, yeah, to me he is JUST that dude that hangs out with Jessica Simpson.
16John Mayer has always been very low key, that's why a lot of people have never heard of him. He's really really talented and his songs are awesome. It was such a shock to me when I first heard he was dating Jessica. I couldn't think of a more unlikely couple.
But they've grown on me. I like to see happy people.
It bothers me how Jessica and her Dad cast aside their Christian values as soon as fame and fortune came knocking. Maybe I'm being judgemental, though. I've never been tested like that. All I know is that I don't advertise to the four corners of the globe how perfect and Christ-like I am because the Lord knows I'm not. I believe faith is something so private and personal. It bugs me that Jessica and her Dad were Christians when it was convenient for them. Ok, I'm done with the religious talk! Don't want to inadvertently offend anyone.
17These photos are so staged. Nothing about JS is sincere or true. She's whatever seems hip at the time. Her daddy will keep re-inventing her until he makes a hit of her. Why won't she go away?
18Im also surprised about how hes always in the press now yet he was known for his low key atitude. Im not a fan of his music or even the way he looks but I hear hes a gifted artist and hes won alot of awards. What sucks for him is that hes going to be known now as John and Jessica not John the grammy winner.
19xoxo
He's only low key when he wants to be. The man dated Jennifer Love Hewitt, for crying out loud.
20Jennifer Love Hewitt??!!??
So this actually... an upgrade? Who knew!
21He IS a gifted artist - I'm sure everyone's heard of him looong before they got together. Now, he's just more in the gossip columns because of his romance with Jessica - which in my opinion... look GREAT together. And what's up with everyone and Jessica's dad and the whole religion thing?? Did I miss something??
22What's up with Jessica's current obsession with all-black outfits? I used to like John Mayer but I don't anymore since he started dating PLASTICFACE Jessica. Yuck.
23RCL, it is still a sin to have Pre-marital Sex of ANY kind outside of marriage, The Bible is VERY clear about this.
24(of course Jessica probably does not care). Just because somebody says that they are a Christian does not mean that they are. one's actions are reflections of what is in thier heart. Either Jessica and her father have sold out or they were never Christians to begin with. I am a Christian and Christians don't just SAY they love Jesus they also SHOW people by thier actions that they love him. (not Judging Jessica, But I just don't get her or her family). They have got some VERY, VERY questionable actions.
Awww don't he look so cute together?
I'm still not use to them being an item.
25I am liking the brown hair on her WAY better than blonde!
26um i don't like her right now that she's morphing into her bf it just seems weird, but she does look okay in brown hair but she seems more i dunno approachable as a blonde, like in that pic she's dressed in all black and has matching aviators. she's a gorgeous girl but she's highly overrated. i dunno maybe i just miss the gold ole days with her as a newlywed with nick. and has anybody noticed she has only released 2 songs from her "new" album that she released last year? all she's been caught doing lately is touring and vacationing with john mayer
27i mean i can't believe i'm saying this but @ least ashlee had been touring last yr and did some skechers stuff. but well now she's romantically linked to ryan phillipe so i dunno
everything about their family seems a lil off beat to me
i am scared of "papa joe" simpson and their mom, well we never hear about her but i guess she was also out of her mind when she married joe lol jk but meh whatever
I can't stand John Mayer. He isn't all that talented in my opinion.
I like Jessica's new hair.
I'm not particularly bothered whether or not this is a "real" relationship or if it's a publicity stunt.
28Who could she go from being married to Nick Lachey to dating John Mayer?
29Oh My God!!! He's actually looking at her, and touching her, and TALKING to her! Either he's been taking acting lessons or I may have to rethink my beard theory about these two...
30They do look cute together I have to admit....I guess it's cause they both are brunettes??? who knows
31I agree though with the others and them saying how she was waiting for marriage to lose her virginity and now she's just sleepin around with Mayer (who's very talented) and let's not forget her so-called affair with Adam Levine from Maroon 5 so I'm thinkin she's one of those "convieniate" christians.
iluvkc - i loved your comment, and that is an even greater compliment coming from me because i have almost no religious ties in my life and i can still relate to that and enjoy hearing what you have to say because it makes a lot of sense. good for you and your truth to your faith!
32I know everyone has their own core values which they stick to and that's great - but in my opinion, I don't see having sex with your partner, within a loving monogamous relationship, the same as sleeping around. We are all a work in progress, doing the best we can at the time, with what we know. I don't think that makes her any less of a Christian. She can define her own relationship with god.
33i don't buy it for one minute. every pic of them in public looks a little too crafted. i don't like JS, but i do like those sunglasses of hers
34They are lovely and bold.
35aww i love jess and john posts! they are great together and im rooting for them! GO JJ

37Maggie99 i totally agree with you!!She's not sleeping around she seems to be in a serious relationship.I think some of you are pretty judgemental,and as a christian i think this is the worst thing EVER...just saying.You're not God you don't know her personally but only through the media, so i think it's very inappropriate to judge her like that.
38Jess is holding John's hand, LOL. I mean why doesn't John hold her hand????
39Adam, Dane (?) and two Jackass's later.. Jess got her casual sex stage out of her system and now wants to settle down with someone who has more talent then her = money.
So that she can sit on her ass, eat bon bons, lay around a pool tanning, have a cook prepare meals, have a designer decorate and furnish her homes, have the maid pick her undies off the floor and then all she has to do is shop and maybe pop out a kid she can hand to a nanny.
You know all the crap Nick wouldn't let her do..wanting her to be responsible and all.. like she said in her interview..
"freedom (sigh)"
.. shallow little twit!
And finally a pic where he is at least touching her without leaning away or looking painfully bored!!
Run John!!!

I can't believe how many people can't stand Jessica and call her such horrible names and judge her. She must have been a really bad friend to each of you, you know when you hung out with her and got to know her and her family and when you were with her and Nick when the cameras weren't around. Yeah, that must be it, because you can't have all these assumptions based on the pics posted on a site.
41I never saw Christina, Britney, or Beyonce's parents running around with camera's being their daughter's personal paparazzi.
42That reeks of desperation IMO.She's being judged by her actions and what comes out of her mouth, same goes for Mayer. People can fall for her "act" but I won't. She now wants to throw stones at Nick for him having sex after they broke up, what about her going around pretending to look so sad, and wearing his wedding band around her neck, when you know she screwed Adam Levine and whatever other guy?
Why John, why? He is so talented, great musician. I want to believe that Jessica is just a f*ck buddy for him, otherwise why would someone like him would date someone as stupid as Jessica, Im sticking to my theory. And I actually feel like he is not really in love with her as she is with him, and that Jessica pushed him into a relanthip when that was not exactly what he wanted, maybe he doesnt want to hurt her feelings and that is why he hasnt dump her sorry ass. But John, way to long, its time to say bye bye... ok... you are ruining your career this way by being "Jessica's bf"... please run
43I can't wait to see how this whole thing plays out. I thought for awhile that she seemed way more into him, but now I don't know what to think. Taking a trip like that together usually is a big step in a relationship. Of course, she's been on the road with him too, but this a little different somehow.
44i don't buy that they're a couple
45Not a good couple...at all
46i still don't buy it....AT ALL....
And the "hand holding" ...on every shot John seems to want to pull away from her...she's actually the only one "holding on"....
they're very fake to me....
47they look so happy together~ best of luck to them~
48they look so happy together~ best of luck to them~
49They are actually a really good looking couple...they exude sex appeal, and I wish them the best. MUCH better than Nick & Vanessa.
