Tony Romo broke up with Jessica Simpson on Thursday, the night before
her 29th birthday, a source close to the pop star tells PEOPLE.
"She is heartbroken," says the source. "She loves Tony. But it's been
difficult lately. He's busy with his career and she's getting ready to
shoot her show (The Price of Beauty). They decided to part ways."
The Dallas Cowboys quarterback fueled breakup rumors when he showed up
with about 14 friends at the Hollywood hotspot MyHouse on Friday night
without the birthday girl, a source tells PEOPLE.
"He had quite a few girls stop by his dance floor table," says an
onlooker. "Romo was sipping Grey Goose and having a fun time with the
boys."
Simpsons rep had no comment. Romo's rep could not be reached for
comment.
Simpson had planned to throw a Barbie and Ken-themed party for her
birthday, but it fell through, according to a message she wrote on her
Twitter page Saturday. "Barbie party didn't happen, but I turned 29
and feel like I am on top of the world yelling I LOVE GETTING OLDER!"
she wrote.
On Saturday night, Romo spoke to a group of well-heeled sports
memorabilia collectors at the Los Angeles Sports Museum of Los
Angeles. He "blushed" when a woman asked about his relationship with
Jessica Simpson, according to the L.A. Daily News.
The source close to Simpson is sad that the longtime couple broke up.
"They were good together for along time," says the source. "But I
guess it wasn't meant to be."
Although Simpson's heart might be broken, she seems to remain hopeful
about love. On Sunday, she Tweeted, "Everyone needs to know that hope
floats ... grab the strings and pull it back to you." Three hours
later, she wrote, "Falling asleep with my mom and the dogs. Please
lord give all of my beautiful fans, friends, enemies, and family rest.
Bring all of us peace."
