In a recent development, American actor Joe Manganiello and actress-model Caitlin O’Connor have reportedly moved in together following Manganiello’s divorce from Colombian-American actor Sofia Vergara. The news, brought to light by an insider speaking to TMZ, suggests that the couple shares a strong bond rooted in their Pittsburgh heritage and mutual love for travel.
According to the source, Manganiello’s dog, Bubbles, has given his seal of approval to O’Connor, making their cohabitation smoother. However, a different perspective is presented by a source close to the situation, as reported by Page Six, clarifying that O’Connor still maintains her own residence.
This development comes just one week after Manganiello and Vergara finalized their divorce, upholding a prenuptial agreement that allows each partner to retain assets acquired independently during their seven-year marriage. The couple, who announced their decision to divorce in July 2023, emphasized their mutual love and care for each other while requesting privacy as they navigate this new phase of their lives.
Addressing misconceptions surrounding their separation, Vergara explained that they parted ways due to differing life priorities. Specifically, she mentioned that Manganiello, being younger, desired to have children, a prospect she was not keen on due to her preference not to be an older mother.
The former couple got engaged on Christmas Day in 2014 after meeting earlier that year at the White House Correspondents Dinner. They tied the knot in November 2015.
Since the divorce, Vergara has moved on and is now romantically involved with orthopedic physician Justin Saliman, with the couple first appearing together in public in October 2023.
Manganiello’s new relationship with Caitlin O’Connor began in September 2023, and three months later, the couple made their public debut on the red carpet at the Children of Armenia Fund Gala at Cipri in New York.
