With three seasons under its belt, the MTV reality series Siesta Key is a fun escape from everyday life. Star Alex Kompothecras has been fired for racist remarks and the show will focus on the other cast members when it returns for a fourth season.
Whether wondering if the show is actually real or enjoying the pretty scenes of beaches, Siesta Key has definitely gotten people talking. All of the cast members are interesting, and one stands out in particular.
Let's take a look at what we know about Cara Geswelli.
Cara's Background
Cara Geswelli started appearing on Siesta Key in 2019, and after just a handful of episodes, fans could tell that she's beautiful, strong, and independent.
Just like the cast members on The Hills looked natural in front of the cameras, Cara seems like she was born for reality TV.
Cara used to work at New Jersey's Dockside Diner. According to TV Over Mind, her LinkedIn says that she was the assistant general manager at that restaurant from 2016 until 2017. She worked on their social media as well, which is really cool to hear about.
Cara works for The Shauger Group Inc. as a human resources assistant. The company is in New Jersey, which is where she's from. She went to the University of Tampa and studied communication and media studies.
TV Over Mind says that because Cara was going to school in Florida, she made some pals in Siesta Key and that's how she got cast on the popular reality series.
Cara loves travel and animals, according to Feeling The Vibe. With 230,000 followers on Instagram, it definitely seems like Cara has a large fanbase who like seeing her life updates. She hasn't posted since October 2020, but she does appear on her Instagram stories on a regular basis.
Fans have noticed that Cara comes from a wealthy background. According to Feeling The Vibe, Cara's mom is Jill Fortunato, whose sister Paula's husband Sumner Redstone is Viacom's CEO. Viacom is the owner of MTV. Cara's dad is very impressive too: he's a jewelry company president. He also owns patents for technology to engrave gemstones.
Relationship With Garrett
Fans of Siesta Key will recall her relationship with Garrett Miller. They seemed like they liked each other right from the start.
According to Heavy.com, it seems that they broke up and reunited back in 2019, then decided that it was over.
The publication says that Garrett said of Cara, “I still care about her but obviously she’s moved on. I love the girl, like, it sucks... It still sucks, like, sitting next to her, it’s hard.” The couple had some drama in the third season of the show as she got a nose job and she was mad that Garrett didn't say anything about it.
It'll be interesting to see what is going on in Cara's life when Siesta Key returns for season four.
