She split from her beau of 11 -years and fiance of four, Jesse Metcalfe last month. 

Their engagement quickly came to an end after he was spotted getting close with two women last weekend. 

The couple was last seen together earlier this month. According to a source for People on Wednesday, Cara had no idea that  their relationship was rocky as they said: ‘She was wearing her ring yesterday.

‘She had no idea things weren’t fine until she saw the photos online today. I promise they never broke up until today.’

The insider also went as far as branding Jesse a ‘cheater.’

Cara’s friends have been sticking by her side through the tough time. With some friends being spotted bringing her flowers and her BFF Olivia Culpo taking to social media with hits at Metcalfe. 

Olivia shared a photo of Rachel McAdams as Regina George in Mean Girls in an Instagram Story post which read, ‘Don’t cheat… Nobody likes a cheater’.

It was then followed by a still of Macaulay Culkin holding a BB gun as Home Alone’s Kevin McCallister.

Tagging Cara in the post, Olivia captioned it: ‘When somebody upsets my best friend.’

Meanwhile, fans have been commenting on the similarity between recent events and Jesse’s 2006 romantic comedy, John Tucker Must Die.

In the film, three popular girls from different cliques – played by Ashanti, Sophia Bush and Arielle Kebbel – team up to exact revenge on their love rat boyfriend after discovering they’re all dating him at once. 

The trio rope in new girl Kate (Brittany Snow) to play the Lotahario at his own game and make him fall in love with her – only to break his heart.

One fan joked, ‘Plot twist it’s actually publicity for John Tucker Must Die sequel’, while another posted, ‘Dude theres going to be a sequel to John Tucker Must Die!!!!’
