Manganiello and O’Connor were first linked in September 2023, shortly after Joe filed for divorce from Modern Family star Sofia Vergara. They made their red-carpet debut that December at the Children of Armenia Fund Gala in New York City.

By February 2024, the pair had moved in together and soon made their relationship Instagram official. Sources say their bond has only grown stronger since.

For Caitlin, 36, this will be her first marriage. Joe, on the other hand, will be tying the knot for the second time, having been married to Sofia Vergara for nearly eight years before they split in 2023.

Rumours of an engagement first surfaced in June when Caitlin was seen wearing a large diamond ring while dining at Le Naumachie in Taormina, Italy. Despite his high-profile breakup, Manganiello has handled the transition with grace, and it seems he has found happiness once again with Caitlin.

With the engagement now confirmed, fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the couple and are eagerly waiting for them to tie the knot.
