Jesse Metcalfe is Engaged

A source told US Weekly the couple "have been dating for four to five years and living together for at least three."

Jesse is currently starring as Christopher Ewing - the adopted son of Bobby Ewing - in the updated version of 1980s soap Dallas and has been enjoying the perks of his new role with Cara. He Tweeted last week, "Takin' a private jet with my honey and the dallas cast for a press weekend in LA. (sic)."

Jesse, 33 - who completed a stint in rehab for alcoholism - has previously had a two-year on /off romance with Girls Aloud beauty Nadine Coyle which ended because the singer couldn't cope with the "Hollywood circus." She previously said, "Jesse was an actor in the States and for me it was too much of a circus. It all became too Hollywood and he was in rehab. That was too much for me."

Jesse Metcalfe Turned On by Eva Longoria

Jesse Metcalfe was so aroused during sex scenes with Eva Longoria, he was too embarrassed to get out of bed.

The actor got turned on by his Desperate Housewives co-star, when they rehearsed steamy scenes for the show between his gardener character John Rowland and Eva’s housewife Gabriella Solis.

When asked by radio station 106.5 Sacramento about how he prevented himself from getting sexually excited and “popping a wheelie,” Jesse said: “It happens. It doesn’t happen that frequently because there are a lot of people on set, and it can be very technical, but it happens from time to time.”

The interviewer then responded by asking if he suffered trouser embarrassment with Eva. “Yeah! As a matter of fact, in the first scene we ever had, where Gabriella and John first had sex, we were rehearsing and then the director was like, ‘OK, get out of bed, we have to reset the set’, and I was like, ‘I need a minute,’” Metcalfe admitted.

Jesse will be seen again on Desperate Housewives this Sunday night.
