Joe Manganiello and his girlfriend, Caitlin O’Connor, enjoyed their Sunday at a football game. They were spotted at the New York Jets and Houston Texans game on Sunday, December 10, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Manganiello, 46, opted for a casual look with a black T-shirt, brown joggers, a black coat, and high-top sneakers. O’Connor, 33, looked stylish in a white T-shirt, jeans, a camel coat, and black boots.
The pair's most recent appearance occurred the day after their official debut as a couple at the Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) gala on Saturday, December 9th, in New York City. The actor received the COAF Humanitarian Award and brought O'Connor as his guest.
O'Connor looked stunning in an emerald silk corset gown, while Manganiello looked handsome in a classic black suit. The couple walked the red carpet together and posed for photos.
Manganiello and O’Connor were initially linked in September when they were seen leaving a gym together in California. Two months earlier, Mangianello and estranged wife Sofía Vergara had announced their decision to divorce after seven years of marriage.
“We have decided to divorce,” the former couple stated in a joint statement to Page Six. “As two people who love and care for each other deeply, we kindly request privacy as we transition into this new chapter of our lives.”

Just 48 hours following the public statement, the former True Blood star officially requested a divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." A trusted source revealed to We that Manganiello and Vergara, aged 51, were "leading separate lives" and were no longer "in sync."
"She prefers socializing with friends while he prefers staying at home, causing them to spend less time together," explained the insider. "They've been leading independent lives for the past year, so it was inevitable for them to end things."
Following reports of Manganiello's new relationship with O'Connor, Vergara shared a playful throwback photo on her social media in September.
“Colombia,” Vergara captioned her picture, which showed her wearing a thong bikini bottom with a bouquet covering her bare chest.

Meanwhile, Vergara has moved on following her breakup from Manganiello. The Modern Family alum has been linked to Justin Saliman since October.
“Sofía is falling for Justin the more she spends time with him,” another source told Us last month. “They have amazing chemistry, and her friends think they make a wonderful couple.”
