JESSICA SIMPSON AND ERIC JOHNSON DO DATE NIGHT IN THE BIG APPLE

It was date night for Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson.

Dressed to the nines, the newly engaged couple were spotted headomg out for an evening together in Manhattan this evening (November 23).

Meanwhile, with the holidays being just around the corner, Jessica says she’s thrilled to have a man by her side.

“I’m looking forward to spending the holiday with Eric,” she tells ET. “This will be our first holiday season together, and we get to do it engaged, which is great.”

As for the rumors swirling that the pair will tie the knot on New Year’s Eve, Jessica responds, “We’re not getting married quite yet. None of the rumors are true. We honestly haven’t even started talking wedding plans. We’re really just celebrating our commitment to each other. We’ve both been married before, so we want to take it slow and we know that we’re going to be committed together forever.”
