Singer and former US reality TV star Jessica Simpson has become Mrs Eric Johnson after tying the knot with her long-term partner in Santa Barbara, California.

The bride wore a Carolina Herrera gown as she wed former American football star Johnson at San Ysidro Ranch on Saturday in front of more than 250 guests, including her sister Ashlee Simpson and her fiance Evan Ross, best friend CaCee Cobb and her actor husband Donald Faison, and pal Jessica Alba and her partner Cash Warren.

The couple's daughter Maxwell, 2, was a flower girl and son Ace, 1, was the ring bearer. Ashlee's five-year-old son Bronx, with ex-husband Pete Wentz, also had a role.

Simpson was married to singer Nick Lachey from 2002-2006 and they starred in the reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.

The happy couple told People.com: "We are overwhelmed with complete happiness and love having made our eternal commitment."
