Joe Manganiello confirms engagement with longtime partner
Joe Manganiello has confirmed his engagement to longtime girlfriend Caitlin O'Connor.
The 48-year-old actor posted a photo with his 36-year-old partner as she flashed her sparkly diamond engagement ring.
He added the caption: 'June 24th, 2025' with two diamond ring emojis, which means he got down on one knee almost four months ago.

This comes hours after TMZ claimed on Friday morning that the Magic Mike actor introduced the beauty to his pals as his 'fiancee' on Thursday evening.
They were at the San Diego Film Festival where he made a speech while accepting his Career Spotlight award.
Joe and Caitlin were first linked in September 2023 just months after news broke that his marriage to Modern Family star Sofia Vergara was ending.
Caitlin is currently a correspondent for E! News. As an actress, Caitlin played Dyan Cannon on HBO’s Winning Time and was a guest star on the series finale of Two And A Half Men.

Joe tied the knot with Sofia in 2015, when she was at the height of her Modern Family superstardom and he is famous for True Blood and Magic Mike.
Joe and Sofia went public with their split over the summer of 2023, and two months later he was being linked to Caitlin, who is 18 years younger than Sofia.
They were reportedly introduced at a hot tub during an 'unofficial' premiere afterparty for the hit HBO series Winning Time about the 1980s Lakers.
A source disclosed at the time that 'the first time they met in the hot tub and they were talking the whole time!' according to People.
By that December, they made their red carpet debut at the the 20th anniversary gala for the Children Of Armenia Fund held at Cipriani in Manhattan.
At the beginning of the year Sofia suggested that she and Joe split up because he wanted to have children whereas she 'didn’t want to be an old mom,' via El Pais.

Joe, however, staunchly disputed her version of events, saying that he and Sofia 'did try to have a family for the first year and a half' but that he 'swore to her that I would never leave if it didn’t work out. And I didn’t.'
He maintained that the subject of children 'wasn’t inevitably why everything ended,' saying the divorce took place 'because two people grew apart, and sometimes that happens,' in an interview with Men's Journal.
