Desperate Housewives' Hottie Gardener Makes a Splash

MARCH 4, 2007: Jesse Metcalfe, former season 1 regular on ABC's "Desperate Housewives" who plays ex-gardener and gold-digger John Rowland, now a recurring character on ABC's dramedy, was snapped earlier this week showing off his muscled physique with girlfriend Nadine Coyle on a beach in Hawaii.

Nadine is a member of the gal band "Girls Aloud" and a frequent target of British and Australian tabloids which reported that she and Jesse had split up in late 2006. Proving the tabloids wrong and enjoying sun, sex and sand, the happy couple was "getting jiggy wit it" in these hot candids from Hawaii.

Since he's already on the island, perhaps ABC could cast him in a special guest starring role on the network's other hit series "LOST" and have him trim Sheriff Isabel's bushes in the picturesque town of Othersville? No? Just a thought.
