Rumor has-it that Tony Romo had been having an affair with another 22 year old female months before breaking up with Jessica Simpson, According to US Weekly:

Jessica Simpson exuberantly announced Tony Romo -- "the man who loves me!" -- was at her Feb. 6 concert.

Backstage that night, Romo would introduce her to Natalie Smith, a younger, skinnier look-alike of the singer, who, multiple sources tell Us Weekly, he had been sending "flirty texts" to for months while still dating Simpson.

Multiple sources tell Us that Romo was having an emotional affair with Smith months before dumping Simpson on July 9, the eve of her 29th birthday.

Adds another pal of Smith, who typically dined with Romo when he'd visit his college town: "They've always flirted and texted each other. They had phone conversations one to two months before the breakup."

Can someone please tell me what an "emotional affair" is? Like, please?
