Jesse Metcalfe, the former the ga-ga gorgeous gardener Desperate Housewives, has checked into an undisclosed rehab center for alcohol abuse earlier this week. A rep for Jesse, 28, tells Page Six:

On Monday, March 19, Jesse Metcalfe entered a rehab facility to deal with alcohol issues. He realized he had a problem and was anxious to deal with it immediately. The actor, best known as the hunky gardener on the ABC show Desperate Housewives and the star of the film John Tucker Must Die, hopes that the media will allow him the privacy to deal properly with his treatment.

A PECtular shirtless Jesse Metcalfe and girlfriend Nadine Coyle look to be enjoying their Hawaiian vacation on Wednesday a bit too much.

It all looks a little too posed, doesn’t it?

But hey, they look happy and in love. So who am I to judge? Besides, in a recent interview with OK!, Nadine said that she would love to have Jesse’s children. Can we expect to see little Jesses running around soon?

The former 28-year-old Desperate Housewives hunk and the sexy 21-year-old British “Girls Aloud” singer started dating in March 2006. Happy one-year anniversary to the happy couple!

UPDATE :: You can watch video of shirtless Jesse and Nadine on the beach.

This is a man who is strong and masculine but at the same time more in tune with his feelings and not afraid to show them; this is a man who is sensual rather than overtly sexy."

  Yes. I’m finally getting remarried…it’s been a whirlwind…spontaneous but well thought through. Feels like I’ve been stuck in a time warp. Not able to let go of MY family picture…it’s been sad and lonely and frustrating….I’ve raised my kids alone in hope of a miracle. Well my miracle came and went. And came back and came back because he knew that I’d wake up one day and realize that I was waiting for nothing. I’m moving on…I feel like I’m finally free….I’m in love. I’m happy….I see the light…sounds dramatic but it’s true…..I know some women can relate to this….My children are getting older. They know the truth and they are strong, smart kids. They love their Dad. They love their new Step Dad who they’ve known for years…time will pass. Wounds will heal. Some people may never grow up. Actions speak louder than words….watch!
