Joe Manganiello and Caitlyn O’Connor were spotted together at the COAF (Children of Armenia Fund) Gala event at Cipriani on December 9, 2023. It was the first time Joe and Caitlin had made their debut as a couple at the Saturday night COAF gala event prior to their dating news in September 2023.
After the “True Blood” star got divorced from his wife Sofia Vergara in September 2023, the actor was spotted numerous times with Caitlin. The “Winning Time” actress and “True Blood” actor was spotted having a “couple time” at the hot tub post-premiere of the HBO Sports drama.
Just like every other couple nowadays from Hollywood, Joe and Caitlin also officially confirmed their relationship by spending “time out together” in Los Angeles prior to Joe’s divorce. After getting spotted together at different places in the past months, the “Magic Mile” actor and “Winning Time” actress finally made their appearance as a couple in a public event on Saturday.
When did Joe and Caitlin start dating?
Joe Manganiello’s career began in film with his role as Flash Thompson in Spider-Man by Sam Ramini. The role that was breakout for him was that of Alcide Herveaux, a werewolf, in the five seasons of the HBO series “True Blood.”
In 2015, the star got married to Sofia Vergara, but due to unreconciled situations, the couple couldn’t continue their marriage, and in July 2023, Joe filed a divorce case. After their split, in September 2023, the couple was officially divorced.
Following his divorce, Joe was witnessed spending quality time with Caitlin O’Connor, a 33-year-old American actress, host, and film producer. She made her acting debut by playing the role of Dyan Canon in the HBO series “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.” The pair is a combination of a woman with humor and a man enjoying her humor.
The pair was looking dead gorgeous when they stepped on the red carpet and posed together for photos at the Children of Armenia Fund at Cipriani in New York on Saturday. The pair made sure of acing their first photoshoot as a couple for the media. Joe appeared in a black suit with a grey shirt, pairing it up with a dark grey tie. Whereas Caitlin was wearing an emerald, green corset detailed gown with a thigh-high slit. The pair posed for the pictures with their arms wrapped around each other’s waists.
Joe and Caitlin met each other in an unofficial afterparty of Winning Time: Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, an HBO drama of which Caitlin is also a part. After meeting each other, they spent some time together in the hot tub and had quite a long conversation.
This coincidental meet-up turned out to be exciting for both of them, as following that day, both of them began to casually see each other. Since then, they have also continued to have meetups while both stars were around Los Angeles.
It seems like after having a casual meetup, the pair wanted to spend more personal time with each other. Joe and Caitlin were spotted in the middle of September coming out together at a Gold’s Gym in Venice, California. The pair even drove away together in Joe’s car after the workout session. The pair was also spotted having cute couple moment around the streets of Florida, Italy.
This new relationship of Manganiello has come after he filed his divorce from his ex-wife Sofia Vergara for ending their seven years of marriage, to which the star cited “irreconcilable differences.” After this divorce, Joe started taking his love life forward by dating Caitlin.
