Joe Manganiello Makes Red Carpet Debut with New Girlfriend Caitlin O’Connor

Joe Manganiello and his new girlfriend, Caitlin O’Connor, have finally made their relationship official by making a stunning red carpet debut. This comes just two months after Joe filed for divorce from his estranged wife, Sofía Vergara.

The Official Debut

Joe, 46, and Caitlin, 33, looked absolutely stunning when they posed for pictures at the Children of Armenia Fund gala in New York City. The event took place at Broadway’s Cipriani restaurant, and the couple certainly stole the show. Joe donned a sharp black suit with a charcoal button-down shirt, while Caitlin looked stunning in a forest green satin slit gown and diamond-encrusted stiletto heels. The occasion was made even more special as Joe was there to accept the COAF Humanitarian Award.

Relationship Rumors

The couple had been sparking relationship rumors for the past few months, having been spotted together on several outings in California. It was later confirmed by PEOPLE that they were “casually seeing each other.” According to a source, they met at an “unofficial” afterparty for Caitlin’s HBO series, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, and officially became a couple shortly after.

The Divorce

Joe’s divorce from Sofía was filed in July, marking the end of their almost 10-year marriage. The former couple announced their split in a statement to Page Six, stating that they still love and care for each other and requested privacy as they navigate this new phase of their lives.

Sofía Vergara’s New Romance

While Joe and Caitlin were celebrating their new relationship, Sofía has also moved on and is now dating Justin Saliman, an orthopedic surgeon based in Beverly Hills. The pair was first spotted together in October, and Sofía seems to be enjoying her new romance despite the difficulties she faced this year.

Reflections on Divorce

Sofía, who had a challenging year, including the divorce and the SAG strike, remained optimistic as she reflected on her experiences. She acknowledged the difficulties but expressed excitement for the future, emphasizing that everything is resolving and that she is looking forward to the coming year.
