Joe Manganiello Engaged to Caitlin O’Connor
Actor Joe Manganiello is engaged to marry his longtime girlfriend, Caitlin O’Connor, confirming speculation that arose earlier this year.
Sources close to the couple confirmed the engagement today, October 17, 2025, following Manganiello’s announcement during his acceptance speech at the San Diego Film Festival last night. While accepting the Career Spotlight award, he publicly thanked O’Connor for her love and support, referring to her as his fiancée. Rumors of an engagement surfaced in June when O’Connor was photographed in Italy wearing a prominent diamond ring.
This will be O’Connor’s first marriage, and Manganiello’s second; he was previously married to Sofia Vergara for nearly eight years before their divorce was finalized in 2023. The news arrives as Manganiello continues to build momentum in his acting career, recently appearing in the critically acclaimed series True Detective: Night Country.
Details regarding the proposal itself remain undisclosed. The engagement marks a new chapter for both individuals and signals a continued public interest in Manganiello’s personal life, following his high-profile previous relationship. Representatives for the couple have not yet released a statement regarding wedding plans.
