A wedding date has yet to be announced for the couple, who have been dating since September 2009.
Tony and Jessica previously dated from 2007 until their split in July 2009. Jessica is now engaged to former NFL star Eric Johnson.
Prior to his relationship with Jessica, Tony and Carrie began dating in 2006 before splitting in 2007. Carrie is now engaged to NHL player Mike Fisher.
Tony – who has not played a game with the Cowboys since October 25 due to a broken collarbone — was also previously romantically linked to “One Tree Hill” beauty Sophia Bush.
In addition to her gig as a sports reporter in Dallas, Candice is also a former pageant queen. She competed in the Miss Texas Teen USA pageants in 2003 and 2005, placing as third runner-up in both competitions. In 2008, she was crowned Miss Missouri and competed in the 2008 Miss USA pageant.
This will be the first marriage for both.
