Joe Manganiello is preparing to tie the knot again, two years after parting ways with actress Sofía Vergara.
The Real blood star, 48, took to Instagram on Friday, October 17, to announce his engagement to actress and television host Caitlin O’Connor, 36.
The photo shows the couple snuggling up with their chihuahua, Bubbles, as O’Connor’s hand rests on Manganiello’s forearm and shows off a sparkling engagement ring.
He captioned the post simply: “June 24, 2025,” which seemed to mark the date of his proposal.
The actor reportedly introduced O’Connor as his fiancée a day earlier during his appearance at the San Diego International Film Festival, according to TMZ.
Manganiello filed for divorce from Vergara on July 19, 2023, after seven years of marriage. The Modern family star followed suit weeks later with her own lawsuit, citing irreconcilable differences and asking for their prenuptial agreement to be upheld.
Their divorce was finalized in February 2024, per People magazine.
Vergara opened up in January El Pais about the end of their marriage. “My marriage ended because my husband was younger; he wanted to have children and I didn’t want to be an old mother,” she said. “I don’t think it’s fair to the baby.”
Manganiello, however, offered a different perspective Men’s magazine in July. “That’s just not true,” he said, adding: “To be painted as if I was having some kind of midlife crisis… that’s never who I was.”
