Scheana Shay and Jesse Metcalfe may have only dated for a “brief” amount of time, but two decades later, we’re learning about their romance.
In an excerpt published ahead of her memoir, My Good Side, being officially released, Scheana shared details on her relationship with the Desperate Housewives actor. They dated back in 2007, and the Vanderpump Rules alum writes about the relationship, which ended because it “faded out.”
“Overall, Jesse and I had a great time together,” she writes. “We would order in dinner with his parents at his house, and — when we were alone — he would play me the guitar and serenade me with songs like ‘Hey There Delilah.’ It felt like I was living a real-life fantasy with this guy I’d watched on TV and in movies for years.”
Now, Jesse is reacting to the romance revelation. “She spoke highly of me, which was nice,” Jesse said on a recent episode of Tori Spelling’s Misspelling podcast (via Us Weekly).

“[It was a] long time ago, 20 years ago. We were dating. I mean, it was — overall — it was pretty brief, but we were seeing each other on a regular basis,” he said. During the podcast appearance, he went on to joke that he “tried to keep [the book excerpt]” from his current girlfriend, Helene Immel.
