Did Tony Romo date Carrie Underwood? A look at the former QB's love life
Tony Romo might be retired now, but he's still in NFL circles. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback is an analyst for CBS games and he makes a fantastic pairing with Troy Aikman, another former Cowboys quarterback.
The duo really is a fun listen during NFL games. They started their playoff run as analysts in 2023 for the game between the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills.
As a former Cowboys quarterback, Romo's personal life was always under scrutiny and everything he did was noted by the media, such as his personal relationships. One of the most remembered by fans and journalists is when he dated singer Carrie Underwood as soon as he became the starter in Dallas.
Tony Romo had a relationship with Carrie Underwood
From 2006 to 2007, Tony Romo and Carrie Underwood had a loving relationship. But things did not end well.
While not much was said when they broke up, they tried to play as if it was a normal breakup. The quarterback said that it was a pleasure to meet the singer and that they're friends, while she pointed out that his focus was on football.
She said:
"At one point, it seemed like that's where it was headed. But point blank, he is about football. I don't know if it's that I'm not quite his type or whatever, but I don't think he's at the point in his life where he would be willing to sacrifice football. He hated so much that people thought that he was paying more attention to me and that was causing him to not do well."
This was all during 2007, but two years later, Underwood brought the relationship back to the spotlight, saying that Romo "did her wrong". She was asked if the song 'Cowboy Casanova', released in 2009, was about her ex, but she was quick to shut down anything.
"No, I would never immortalize a guy that did me wrong. I would never give him that much credit."
After dating Underwood, Romo spent two years in a relationship with singer and actress Jessica Simpson. The pair split up in mid-2009.
In 2011, he married Candice Crawford and they have three sons together.
Underwood has been performing the opening song for NBC's Sunday Night Football since 2013.
