Watch: Jesse Metcalfe Reacts to Scheana Shay's Memoir Detailing Past RomanceJesse Metcalfe's girlfriend has never been desperate for information on his past. The Desperate Housewives alum, who dated Scheana Shay in the early 2000s, shared that his girlfriend Helene Immel isn't bothered by the Vanderpump Rules star's revelations about their past relationship in her recent memoir, My Good Side. As Jesse told People in an interview published July 31, "She wasn't even affected by it." And it seems the actor, 46, wasn't affected either, especially considering Scheana's words about him were positive. After all, she gushed that he was an "awesome guy" and she felt like she was "living a real-life fantasy," which Jesse called "very sweet." He told the outlet, "It's nice to have people say nice things about you." In fact, Jesse-who has been dating the German singer since 2023-has remained on good terms with Scheana, who he dated in his 20s. "I run into Scheana from time to time at events and stuff like that," he told E! News on July 26. "She's a super sweet girl and I'm happy for her success." readWhy Scheana Shay Didn't Tell Jesse Metcalfe and Other Celeb Exes About Her Bombshell MemoirStill, he was surprised to have been included in her book since their relationship was brief. "I was like, 'This again?'" he shared. "It was a really, really long time ago." He continued, "I guess it's a story worthy of print, but it's not a story for me."Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images / Sonia Moskowitz/Getty ImagesWhile the pair might be friendly, Scheana-who now shares 4-year-old daughter Summer Moon with husband Brock Davies-didn't speak so highly of all her exes. She even revealed her disdain for one ex in particular who she didn't know was married at the time she dated him in 2006 while she was working as a waitress: actor Eddie Cibrian. "It did piss me off that Eddie never had the balls to have a final conversation," she wrote of her experience after learning he was married to and had two children with Brandi Glanville. "But I got over it, and I haven't seen Eddie since."For more candid confessions from Scheana's memoir, read on.

Calling the actor "the sweetest, funniest, most charismatic, consummate gentleman I'd ever met," in her 2025 memoir My Good Side, Scheana noted he "never wore a wedding ring" despite being married to Brandi Glanville, mom to his two sons. "I assumed he was single," she wrote, adding she didn't realize he was famous "because I never thought to look him up." While they weren't exclusive they had "a weekly booty call" starting at the end of 2006. And though another club member eventually told her he was married, "I didn't want to believe it," she said. "We were out together all the time in public, so I didn't feel like some secret mistress!" After discovering the truth, she cut him off, only to reconnect six months later. "He apologized profusely," she recounted, and "told me that he and Brandi were separated." Back on, Eddie gifted her a set of diamond earrings, confessed his love and whisked her away on a snowboarding trip that she said "seemed like a huge step in our relationship." Then-in March 2009-she saw his affair with LeAnn Rimes splashed across magazine covers. "It did piss me off that Eddie never had the balls to have a final conversation," she wrote. "But I got over it, and I haven't seen Eddie since."Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images / Michael Kovac/Getty Images for Jaguar Land Rover Scheana Shay Romanced Her Share of CelebritiesAs she was romancing Eddie, Scheana was also seeing how things grew with Desperate Housewives gardener Jesse Metcalfe. "We would order in dinner with his parents at his house, and-when we were alone-he would play the guitar and serenade me with songs like 'Hey There Delilah,'" she detailed. "It felt like I was living a real-life fantasy with this guy I'd watched on TV and in movies for years." She also said she was "casually involved" with John Mayer: "I kept it so quiet because I wanted to continue hanging out with him. Unfortunately, since it wasn't always just the two of us, one of my girlfriends opened her big mouth." When that pal spilled the truth, "He didn't want to speak to me or see me anymore," she wrote. "For all he knew, I was the one blabbing about the details of our hangouts." But while she's spilling...she said her list of conquests include: "Shemar Moore, Josh Hopkins, Shane West, Jesse McCartney, JC Chasez, Adrian Grenier, Ricardo Chavira, William Tell, two actors from The Notebook, and a few NFL, NBA, and MLB players, to name a few."MTVScheana Shay Learned Early on How Fake Reality TV Can BeBack when Scheana's future was still unwritten, she made an uncredited cameo on The Hills in 2009.
