Joe Manganiello Walks Red Carpet with New Girlfriend
On Saturday, Manganiello and O’Connor walked the red carpet together at the 20th Annual Children of Armenia Fund Gala in New York City, where the actor was honored with the 2023 Humanitarian Award. Manganiello posted a clip from his speech at the event on Instagram, but he didn’t mention O’Connor.
The pair posed together on the red carpet, with Manganiello wearing a dark suit and O’Connor donning a long green gown. Manganiello had his hand on her waist as they smiled for the cameras. A source told Entertainment Tonight that the two first met at a party for the TV show Winning Time, in which O’Connor appears.
“Caitlin is very into health and wellness and she and Joe connect over that. They have similar lifestyles and love to be fit and active, work out together, and are both animal lovers,” the source shared.
The source also revealed that Manganiello and O’Connor “have only been seeing each other for a handful of months,” adding, “They are taking things day by day, but their relationship is on the upswing, and they’re enjoying where it’s going. Joe is really happy and has moved on.”

Manganiello Filed for Divorce Earlier This Year
In July, Manganiello and Vergara announced that they had separated and decided to divorce after seven years of marriage. Not long after they made the announcement, news broke that Manganiello had filed for divorce from Vergara.
Manganiello isn’t the only one who seems to have moved on with someone new. In October, Vergara was spotted on a dinner date with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. A source later revealed that the actress is “super happy” with Saliman.
“They have amazing chemistry, and her friends think they make a wonderful couple,” the source told Us Weekly. The two have apparently “run in similar circles” for years now.
