Joe Manganiello moves on from Sofía Vergara to Caitlin O'Connor
Everything seems to indicate that Joe Manganiello has overcome his breakup with Sofía Vergara and has given himself a new chance in love with actress Caitlin O'Connor.
The actors made their debut as a couple on the red carpet at the Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) Gala in Cipriani, New York, in early December 2023.
Officially, Joe Manganiello is only recently single. It became known that he had separated from his longtime partner Sofía Vergara in July 2023.
Joe Manganiello and Sofía Vergara announced their separation after seven years of marriage. As Page Six reported, it was Joe who had asked for the divorce.
The couple's divorce shocked the entertainment world. Manganiello, 46 years old, and Vergara, 51 years old, seemed a very loyal and stable couple at the time.
An insider told Page Six, however, that a separation had been in the making: "Sofía and Joe have been growing apart for a while now and are taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future," the anonymous informant said.
And that future soon became known. As the couple declared together, "We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives."
Soon after the news of the separation, in September, showbiz reporters claimed that the actor was dating Caitlin O'Conner.
According to Page Six, the actors met in August at a small party that took place after the premiere of the HBO series 'Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.'
They were also seen together on several occasions, including while they were leaving a gym in Venice, California.
One of the things that has caught reporters' attention is the age difference between them. While Joe is 46 years old, Caitlin turned 33 this year, so he is 13 years older than her.
When posing together on the carpet, the actors looked incredible: the 'True Blood' actor in a black suit and the 'Winning Time' actress in a beautiful emerald green dress.
Caitlin O'Connor is an American actress, model, and TV host. She is known for participating in the finale of the series 'Two and a Half Men.'
Due to her great looks, Caitlin was named one of the '10 Hottest Girls in America' by Maxim magazine in 2013.
So far, neither Joe nor Caitlin have commented on their relationship, but they are expected to continue appearing together at public events.
Life goes on for the stars. Both Joe Manganiello and his former partner Sofía are trying to rebuild their lives and find love with a new partner.
