What does Helene Immel do for a living?

Immel has broadened her horizons with various career moves. The 32-year-old is currently a real estate agent and the creative director of NUTRL Skin, the skincare brand Metcalfe created.

“It’s always a good balance for someone in this crazy business to date someone outside of the entertainment industry,” the John Tucker Must Die star told People about dating Immel. Over a decade ago, Immel was releasing music under the stage name Lenachka.

Has Jesse Metcalfe ever been married?

The 47-year-old actor has never been married. He told Tori Spelling on her misSPELLING podcast in 2024 that he was a “little bit of a commitment phobe” and had been “very, very close to marriage,” but he’d never said “I do.”

He was open to possibly getting married down the road, if that’s what Immel wants. “I mean, if we’re still going strong four years from now, and we’re not married, I’m happy to get married,” he said.

In the interview, Immel stated that she did want to marry Metcalfe and have children with him someday. Metcalfe admitted that he wants to have two kids, and Immel gushed that he would “be the best girl dad.”

Metcalfe dated Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle from 2006 to 2008. He started dating Cara Santana in 2009, and they got engaged in 2016. They split in 2020.

Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay revealed her past romance with Metcalfe in her 2025 memoir, My Good Side. Shay and Metcalfe dated in 2007, with their first date being the Cloverfield red carpet premiere. “It felt like I was living a real-life fantasy with this guy I’d watched on TV and in movies for years,” she wrote. Metcalfe and Shay’s relationship didn’t last and “faded out later that summer,” but she had nothing but positive things to say about their fling.
