Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O'Connor are getting married. The couple, who began dating in late 2023, shared news of their engagement on Instagram, revealing that they've been engaged since the summer.
Manganiello and O'Connor shared the same photo and caption. The image shows the two huddled close, while Manganiello holds on to Bubbles, their adorable pet Chihuahua. He wears a colorful shirt and has his hair tied up in a bun.
In the case of O'Connor, she's seen with her left hand on his arm, showing off her diamond ring. Her hair is long and wavy, and she accessorized her outfit with various pieces of golden jewelry.
"June 24th, 2025," they both captioned the post, adding some ring emojis to the text.
Yesterday, TMZ revealed that the pair were engaged, with them revealing that Manganiello referred to O'Connor as his fiancée while attending this year's San Diego Film Festival.
Manganiello is doing better than ever
Manganiello and O'Connor have been dating for the past three years, with the two often photographed together at red carpet events, attending workout classes, and enjoying themselves on trips.
The relationship blossomed after Manganiello's divorce from Sofia Vergara. The pair was married for seven years and reportedly broke up due to visualizing different things for themselves in the future.
“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger,” said Vergara in an interview with El País in 2024. “He wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore.
Sources claim that Manganiello is happy with O'Connor and was surprised at finding love so fast after his divorce from Vergara.
"They're very happy," said a source to PEOPLE. "He was devastated and felt like a failure after he separated from Sofia. He never expected that he would get a divorce. He was very hard on himself. He planned on just focusing on work. Then he met Caitlin and quickly fell in love. He's grateful for another chance. He's a great guy."
According to a separate source, Manganiello and O'Connor clicked immediately after meeting in the kitchen of a mutual friend.
“We are both from Pittsburgh,” said O'Connor to E! News. “I'm from Uniontown, which is about an hour and a half south of Pittsburgh, but we met in Los Angeles. I was at a party for 'Winning Time,' and he was there.”
