But Tony regrets making the move that ended the eight-month relationship. And he definitely got Carrie’s attention when he was spotted with another woman- his former college girlfriend.

"Carrie was devastated when she found out that he’d been squiring around a blonde who looked a lot like her," an insider told The Enquirer. "His plan was pretty transparent. After all, the jealousy ploy worked with Tony when Carrie felt their romance was faltering last year and she was linked to actor Jesse Metcalfe and musician Oliver Trevena. “But that doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt her any less.”
