Jessica Simpson is off the market again – she is dating Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan.

Friends are said to be thrilled that 29-year-old Jessica has found love again with the 42-year-old singer, who she was photographed with in New York City on Friday.

A source said: “They are getting to know each other. He’s a nice guy.”

And one friend said divorcee Jessica, who split from Tony Romo earlier this year, is hoping this new relationship will go the distance.

The friend added: “She’s a great gir. She’s really sweet. She’s had a tough year. She deserves the best.”
