Joe Manganiello and his girlfriend Caitlin O’Connor appeared together on the red carpet for the first time as a couple. The actor, 46, and O’Connor, 33, made their debut at the Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) gala on December 9 at New York’s Cipriani 25 Broadway restaurant. They posed for photos, with Manganiello affectionately placing his arm around O’Connor’s waist.
Manganiello, who was receiving the COAF Humanitarian Award, looked sharp in a black suit, while O'Connor wowed in a silk emerald gown with a corset bodice and diamond drop earrings, both arriving at the event in the same vehicle after being seen leaving a gym together in California back in September.
Manganiello’s link with O’Connor represents his initial publicized romance following his separation from Sofía Vergara. The True Blood actor and Vergara, 51, revealed in July that they had ended their seven-year marriage.
Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello have announced their decision to divorce in a joint statement to Page Six. The former couple, who share a deep love and care for each other, are asking for privacy as they navigate this new phase of their lives.
Two days after their divorce, Manganiello cited "irreconcilable differences" and acknowledged the prenuptial agreement from their 2015 wedding.
A source informed We magazine that Manganiello and the Modern Family alum were "living different lives" and no longer "on the same page." According to the insider, "She preferred going out with friends while he preferred staying home, so they spent very little time together. They have been leading separate lives for about a year now, so it was time to end things."
Another insider informed Us magazine that Manganiello and Vergara have some legal matters to resolve, including the custody of their dog, Bubbles. (The couple adopted the now 10-year-old pup shortly after their wedding.)
Following her divorce, Vergara has also been romantically linked to Justin Saliman since October.

Last month, a third insider shared with Us that Sofía is becoming more and more attracted to Justin the more time they spend together. Her friends believe they are a great match and have incredible chemistry. Vergara's friends have noticed she has been "extra happy" since meeting Saliman, 49, and love that he treats her with such respect, regardless of her celebrity status. The source shared that he has his own interests and genuinely appreciates her for who she is.
