Jesse Metcalfe, an American actor who has an estimated net worth of $12 million dollars, started dating Cara in 2009. While they took a break in 2011, he proposed on a 50-foot sailboat in August 2016 and they’ve been engaged since then.

“Jesse and I have been together for a really long time, like 13 years, and I think that’s the great thing about having that comfortability in a relationship is knowing that you have a support system, one another, and we listen to each other,” she told Us Weekly.

“We’re there, we’re supportive when everything happens. This past week, he was like, ‘Okay, I’m giving you 24 hours. Do I need to go get chocolate chip cookie dough? What is it? And then we’re gonna brush this off and move on because we gotta keep going.’ So it’s great. He’s my best friend.”

She updated her simple outfit with summery accessories, including a straw hat with black ribbon detail, a leopard-printed clutch, and a pair of sunglasses.

Keeping the rest of her look simple, she went makeup-free and let her long hair fall loosely on her shoulders.
