Relationship Background
Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor’s romance began in September 2023. They made their relationship public in December of the same year during the Children of Armenia Fund Gala in New York City. Following their debut, the couple moved in together in February 2024 and quickly became active on social media, showcasing their connection.
This relationship emerged shortly after Manganiello’s divorce from actress Sofía Vergara. He filed for divorce less than two months prior to starting his romance with O’Connor. The former couple shared a seven-year marriage, which reportedly ended due to differences in their views on having children. Manganiello expressed a desire to become a father, a sentiment that Vergara did not share.
Differences and Aftermath
After the split, various sources indicated that Manganiello’s feelings towards fatherhood grew stronger over time. In contrast, Vergara felt that Manganiello could be unsupportive of her career. Following their separation, Vergara has been linked to several high-profile individuals but remains focused on enjoying her personal life.
As Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor prepare for their future together, they are being celebrated by fans and friends alike. The couple appears enthusiastic about this new chapter in their lives.
