Jessica Simpson is “bummed” about her split from Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who dumped her the night before her 29th birthday.

“I think when Jessica gets into a relationship, she thinks she is going to marry him and have babies,” a source told People magazine. “Every time she ends up with a boy, she is in the zone that it’s leading to marriage and babies. That’s how she’s programmed.”

“She’s in love with love,” said the source, also adding, “I guarantee when she was with John (Mayer) she thought she was going to marry John.”

According to the source, “It’s been tough for her.  Tony had his eyes on everyone but her towards the end.”

Romo, 29,  has been romantically linked to 22-year-old Natalie Smith, the daughter of the associate athletic director at Romo’s alma mater, Eastern Illinois University.

The source went on to say that Simpson’s closeness to her family took a toll on the relationship as well.  “They are extremely close and when you date her, you date her family.”

Simpson is currently staying with her parents in their Encino home, and is taking some time to focus on herself.  She recently teamed up with VH1 for a new reality show, “The Price of Beauty.”
