Actor Joe Manganiello, known for his roles in Magic Mike and True Blood, is officially engaged to his longtime girlfriend, actress and model Caitlin O’Connor.

The news came to light when Joe, 48, referred to Caitlin as his fiancée while accepting the Career Spotlight Award at the San Diego Film Festival. During his speech, he paused to thank her for her love and support — a sweet gesture that drew loud cheers from the crowd.

According to insiders who spoke with TMZ, the couple are thrilled to take this next step together. Caitlin later confirmed the engagement on Instagram, sharing a photo captioned “June 24, 2025.” While details about the proposal are still under wraps, rumours about their engagement have been circulating for months.

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.
