Cara Santana dons an oversized green hoodie as she carries her dog during low-key hike with a pal

She recently declared she was ‘settled in but never settling’ as she moved into best friend Olivia Culpo’s home after selling the home she shared with ex Jesse Metcalfe.

And Cara Santa appeared in great spirits as she enjoyed a low-key hike with her pet dog and a friend in Beverly Hills, California on Wednesday.

The actress, 36, kept things casual in an oversized green hoodie and black leggings as she made the most of the great outdoors.

Cara finished her relaxed look with white trainers and a black cap, while she followed precautions by wearing a white face mask.

The beauty appeared in good spirits as she held on to her beloved pooch and chatted with a pal as they got some fresh air together.

Cara’s outing comes just weeks after she moved into the home of influencer pal Olivia, 28.

The Beverly Hills Chihuahua star documented the move on Instagram, with one post showing her standing in the empty foyer of her former home, with a fireplace seen along one wall.

‘The thing about memories are.. you always have the ones you’ve made and you always have more of them to make,’ she wrote in the caption.

‘Goodbye to the past, hello to future.’

Meanwhile, on her Stories, Cara walked her followers through virtually every step of her moving process, from why she didn’t hire professional packers (because of COVID-19) to what she was planning to do with her old dog beds (donate them).

She started things off with a selfie video and the caption ‘Move out day’ in which she said, ‘Well, the day is officially here, we are moving out of the home that Sheppy and I have shared for the last five years!’

Here, she showed her little dog behind her sitting on the empty floor.

‘I’m so excited, and ready for a new beginning! So we’re moving out, and moving on. Wish me luck!’

Later, Santana did one last walk-through of the space, in which she said ‘Bye house’. 

The caption read, ‘But we did it… end of an era. Can’t wait to see what’s to come…’

And later still, Cara showed her 791k followers where she ended up, at least for now – at the home of her best friend Olivia.

Santana included a snippet in which she showed Olivia’s beautiful open concept kitchen, with a sign on the counter that read, ‘Welcome Cara – New Roomie’. 

‘Oh that’s so sweet,’ she said in the snippet, which she captioned ‘Home for the next few weeks!!!’

Cara and Jesse purchased the 3,500 sq ft property on N. Wetherly Drive in 2015 for just under $3million, but by the time of their separation earlier this year, Jesse was said to be living in the guest house.

Both stars have seemed to move on romantically, as well – Jesse is rumored to be dating model Corin Jamie-Lee Clark and Santana has coupled up with Jared Leto’s older brother Shannon.
