These boots are made for walking! Cara Santana struts in red thigh highs with Jesse Metcalfe by her side

He's used to being the centre of attention thanks to his starring role in the excellent TNT reboot of Dallas but Jesse Metcalfe was forced to take a backseat to his stunning fiancee on Thursday.
The brooding hunk, 33, who plays Christopher Ewing in the oil baron saga, stepped out with his guitar progeny squeeze, Cara Santana, who was wearing excellent thigh high red suede boots.
Cara, the daughter of Carlos, strutted confidently in the sexy shoes as the pair navigating the upscale sidewalks of Beverly Hills.

Cara, a twentysomething actress who has appeared in Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva La Fiesta, is actually from El Paso, Texas, but moved to Los Angeles when she was 16 and currently resides in the Studio City neighbourhood.
But she and the couple's chihuahua dog have spent much time back in her home state while Jesse has been filming the second series of the hit show.
He'll have been grateful for her support when the luminous Larry Hagman, who played J.R. Ewing, passed away last month.

'The things we do 4 women!' Jesse tweeted this picture of girlfriend Cara at the Barney's Boxing Day shoe sale in LA, she's smiling to the right

Metcalfe is also close to the delightful Patrick Duffy, 63, who plays his on-screen father, Bobby.

He spoke recently about how his close bond with the actor, who lost both his parents in an armed robbery, helped fill the void left by his own father.

The pair dated for two and a half years before becoming engaged in January of this year. With two acting careers, any time spent together is a welcomed relief.

Jesse has been busy filming Dallas, a re-charged version of the 1980s classic show in which he plays Christopher Ewing - the adopted son of Bobby Ewing.
Jesse took to Twitter to thank his fans for watching the show.
'Wow! rlly overwhelmed w/ the response 2 the season finale of @DallasOn5! luv 2 all R UK viewers 4 making the show ...,' he tweeted.

So in love: On Friday, the loved-up couple of three years enjoyed a romantic lunch date at the Kings Road Cafe in West Hollywood
