Underwood's QB boyfriend calls for timeout
Carrie Underwood, Tony Romo
"American Idol" winner Carrie Underwood and NFL quarterback Tony Romo, seen here in May, may be cutting their relationship back to non-football months only.
Carrie Underwood’s football-star boyfriend is calling for a timeout.
The two have been tight for several months: Tony Romo flew to Nashville to celebrate the American Idol cutie’s 24th birthday recently, and she returned the favor, flying to Dallas to celebrate his 27th.
But now, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback has told Underwood that he wants to bench their relationship during the football season, according to the National Enquirer. Football season begins in September and lasts until January.
“Carrie thought that they were moving closer to a more committed relationship,” a source tells the tab. Romo asked Underwood to give him space for his career once before, and she did, but this time, the request has hit a sour note with her, says the source, who adds, “Carrie wants a firm commitment from Tony.”
