Jessica SimpsonThings nearly got very awkward for Jessica Simpson and her new boyfriend Tony Romo last week - the new couple nearly found themselves holidaying with her ex-husband Nick Lachey and his girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo.

According to the New York Post, Jessica and Tony had planned to join her sister Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend Pete Wentz at the Four Seasons in Costa Rica for a post-New Year break but changed their mind at last minute, instead flying to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico with her parents and friends.

And a wise decision it was: professional holidayers Nick and Vanessa were already in Costa Rica, staying in the hotel next door to the Four Seasons.

Jessica expressed hurt when Nick was photographed kissing her former close friend Vanessa in a swimming pool shortly after the former Newlyweds’s divorce was finalised in June 2006.
