The exes got engaged in 2016, but apparently, he got caught with two women, and that’s just for one night!

Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe and his fiancée, Cara Santana, have called it quits after more than a decade together. Though his sources deny the cheating rumors, the paparazzi caught him getting cozy with two women in one night.

Metcalfe popped the question to the Santa Clarita Diet star in August 2016. Santana previously spoke about her desire to have an old fashioned wedding, but as time went by, something felt odd.

The troubles in paradise obviously came soon after the engagement, and in early 2019, Santana said that they’re going nowhere with the wedding plans. The actress kept being vague for the rest of the year, adding that she’s not sure if she’s ready to have children, but then contradicting herself: “I can’t imagine us not having kids.”
Metcalfe was seen enjoying dinner with model Livia Pillmann at Gracias Madre in West Hollywood. Later in the evening, the Hallmark star was caught cozying up to actress Jade Albany Pietrantonio at the Attic Bar in Sherman Oaks, California. He didn’t even change his outfit, which some might say is slightly tacky. Daily Mail and E! News identified the model and the actress.

It’s unclear if the couple already broke up before Metcalfe was spotted with other women. Some sources suggest that the 35-year-old actress was blindsided. There’s no way to tell who’s right at this point, but even if there was no cheating, dating in public after ending a 13-year long relationship is frowned upon.

Metcalfe dated Nadine Coyle from the British girl group Girls Aloud from 2005 to 2008. Before that relationship, he was dating Bachelor star, Courtney Robertson, for two years.

We will hear a lot of “sources” from both sides in the upcoming weeks. According to some, the John Tucker Must Die star didn’t want to get married yet, and that caused a lot of disagreements in the past year. The 41-year-old and his ex-fiancée still share an LA home, though they are working on the arrangements.  Breakups are hard, even harder if the world’s watching, but that’s the downside of fame.
