LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Jessica Simpson told Ellen DeGeneres on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” in an episode airing Wednesday, that boyfriend and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has helped her grow and succeed in life. Plus, Ellen also tried to pry some baby details about her sister Ashlee’s upcoming birth – but Jessica kept mostly mum on the matter.

“He is a good guy and he’s really just helped me along in life and taught me a lot about being comfortable being myself,” Jessica told Ellen of boyfriend Tony. “He’s taught me to calm down a lot.”

Jessica said Tony has also inspired her to try and break some her bad habits.

“I’m very bad at procrastinating and I’m not organized and he’s not organized either, but [he] does make me want to be organized for us,” she continued.

Ellen asked if their differences are what attracts her to Tony, but Jessica said, “Actually, we’re really a lot a like. I’m just more into fashion than he is.”

Jessica also told Ellen that her sister, Ashlee, who is due any day now with her first child, is trying anything and everything to have her baby.

“She’s really just jumping around trying everything right now,” Jessica said of Ashlee. “They’re going to have to [induce labor], it’s already developing really quick.”

Ellen attempted to get Jessica to announce the sex of the baby, but the future aunt remained mum – and in the good graces of her sister and husband Pete Wentz.

“I can’t say because they haven’t said,” she told Ellen. “I’ll stick my foot in my mouth and get in trouble and I won’t be a good aunt.”
