Joe Manganiello, the award-winning actor from “True Blood” and “Magic Mike,” has some awesome news! He’s currently very happily engaged to Caitlin O’Connor, a fellow fierce Pittsburgher. The couple announced their engagement on October 18, 2025, with the news that Manganiello had proposed on June 24, 2025. This comes soon after Manganiello’s marriage to actress Sofia Vergara, whom he filed for divorce from in July 2023 after nearly 7 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
Manganiello and O’Connor have been together for nearly two years and have frequently shared glimpses of their life together on social media. The future spouses shared their engagement news in an intimate, romantic photo-filled post. They added a ring engagement emoji and shared the date of their proposal, celebrating the proposal in style.
Ahead of their engagement, Manganiello and O’Connor wowed on the red carpet at Filming Italy 2025 on June 21. This glitzy affair happened just days before the actual proposal. The couple’s relationship blossomed during this time, with O’Connor expressing her excitement about their shared experiences, including a recent trip to Ireland.
“Ireland with my ❤️ @joemanganiello and the crew for a Steelers win … my first time to the country of my heritage thanks Joseph 🥰🥰🥰,” – Caitlin O’Connor
