Exclusive: Jake Pavelka: Vienna Cheating Was the "Final Straw"
The new issue of Us Weekly (on stands today) reports there was growing tension between Jake Pavelka and fiancee Vienna Girardi before they announced their split Monday night.
But still, Pavelka, 32, had no idea Girardi was telling people she was single while he was 2,000 miles away taping an upcoming episode of Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva -- and he was "shocked" when she dumped him over the phone.

Greek star Gregory Michael, 29, whom Girardi "made out with" over the weekend, told Us in an exclusive interview, "She made it very clear they were not together." (Another insider tells Us the 24-year-old former Hooters waitress -- whose romance history now includes two broken engagements and a failed marriage -- even planned her tabloid magazine cover before informing Pavelka she'd moved on.)

"He has no tolerance for infidelity," a source tells Us Weekly of Pavelka, who first found out she was cheating on him on Monday (in a Twitter post Tuesday, she denies any cheating). "At first he gave her the benefit of the doubt, but soon realized it was true. He realized he couldn't be blinded by love anymore."
But "there were other things" wrong in their 7-month relationship, adds the insider. "She was jealous of him and did not support his career. The cheating was just the final straw. Things had been troubled for awhile."

To read more about how Girardi "made fun of" Pavelka and called his acting projects "stupid," the lies she told Michael about her relationship, and how Pavelka is finally seeing Girardi for who she really is ("She showed her true colors," he was overheard saying on the Lifetime set), pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.
Tell Us What You Think
148This is the sort of behavior you expect from an Alaskan governor but not a reality TV star.
who cares!
My god Jake I always took him for the nice guy.. WOW I was wrong. The fame has went to this mans head and he forgot what was most important. Vienna I'm so sorry you have had to put up with that for 6 months. If that man wasn't givin you any he was defff cheating. What a jerk. I hope everything works out for you Vienna and for you Jake you will die old and alone if you don't change.
I said it all along...she's trash, everyone else knew it except Jake! hmmm I wonder what he was thinking with. Jake you should have picked Tenley!
Several months ago, I saw Jake and Vienna at a Dallas Mavericks game. The whole time, he was either on the phone or had some other distraction. He totally ignored her the entire time. Makes me wonder if this was all for the ratings, these two were total opposites.
OMG WOW CANT BELIEVE IT FUNNY OK I WILL BE NICE THIS TIME. JAKE YOU DID NOT USE YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR PARENTS DID NOT LIKE VIENNA IN THE FIRST PLACE WE ALL WATCH IT. JAKE AND VIENNA BOTH OF THEM ARE NOT BEING HONEST IN THE FIRST PLACE.
If i was single Jake i go out with you and i am sure you will not be disappointed. I'm real blond and sexy and nice looking and smart. Jake I'm sorry that happen to you and next time make sure you know better much better. I hope she give her back the beautyful expensive ring.
Ali not better person and Vienna the same. Jake should choose Tenley in the very first place. Jake should just be single for now. We are all know how top and sad that happen to him. We hope you will really find happiness and the right lovely and smart beautyful woman.
I really do not know who is telling the truth for both side. Jake should pick Tenley in the first place I think both of them look really good together. Jake my nice advice you do not need to go to bachelor again. Jake you can find it on your own the right lady for you and be smart next time to choose the right lady. Vienna bit young and she need to grow up and we know from the end. Jake should not choose Vienna in the first place.
I have very strong feeling that they will not be together in the first place. Jake i am sure you will get over your relatioship with Vienna. Jake we hope you find the right lady. Jake you learn your lesson the hard way and now you can look back and laugh about the mistake you done. We are all sure that handsome Jake will find the truly real honest lovely loving kind lady.
um try reading star and vienna's issue. jake is a total DB and fake.
when a relationship is mainly lust and raelly nothing else its gonna fail. The other girl was more fitting for his life style. Vienna just wants the 15+ mins of fame and whats with all her fake tears and interviews for a girl who wants her privacy to be repected she is not very convincing. I guess there always hiring at Hooters!!!!!
Jake fell for someone who had trouble with relationships look at all the problems she had on the show with the other girls they all could read who she really was and what she was. But jake being not so experinced at reading he fell for the kitten and all kittens have klaws... If it is too good to be true it must be so Jake .
You know what, this should be a good lesson for the next "BACHELOR"ETTE"that may be watching the show . I mean if more than one person is telling you a negative thing about the "Female or Man" that you may want to marry and you are to blind with luv or lust to see it than maybe you should listen and think with your head. !PLEASE!
What a bunch of Goobers...these people are not "Famous", they are notorious, odorous...
Do you not think we're walking right into the next twist in the show's plot?? Get rid of Vienna to make Jake available to go on the bachelorett and try to win back Ali. Oh please. Pretty transparent. Quite the timing.
the women onthe show tried to tell him about her but he always gave her the rose and booted them all off the show.....we know these things you need to listen,,,, not surprised I did not like her either he should have picked Ali... hands down a better person
DUH!
I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE PICKED ALI, SHE WAS A BETTER PERSON FOR HIM.
Jake is not innocent here. He was in it for the fame-not to find a woman. She was wrong from the beginning but he knew that the fanes were against her and would blame her for the breakup that was to come. He'll try and get on a soap next. Fame is what he is about-he wasn't making much flying the smaller planes. Wants to be the next Tom Cruise. Never liked this guy, The girls who didn't "win" should thank their lucky stars.
