Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor ‘weren’t expecting for things to get serious so quickly’: report

Joe Manganiello’s romance with Caitlin O’Connor continues going from strength to strength.

The lovebirds are not only “very affectionate” towards one another but are always “looking out for each other” as their relationship grows.

“They weren’t expecting for things to get serious so quickly but it’s only a good thing,” a source told People, adding that the pair are “super, super happy together.”

“Joe was pretty broken up when the divorce happened but he’s in a good place. With their differences, he and Sofía [Vergara] both knew it was time to move on.” 

Page Six has reached out to Manganiello’s reps for comment.

It comes after the “Magic Mike” actor, 47, made his romance with O’Connor, 34, Instagram official.

Last month, Manganiello shared a series of images with his 2.8 million followers, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that one of the photos was a loved-up selfie of the pair.

The couple’s Valentine’s Day celebration is pictured in the final three snaps of the post, which shows the duo posing for a selfie at a Tool concert in Los Angeles.

At the end of the caption, the “True Blood” alum added, “And celebrated Valentine’s Day with Tool & Caitlin… ❤️.”

The post came just days after the pair had reportedly moved in together.

An insider told TMZ that the pair are “very much in love” and have bonded over their Pittsburgh roots and passion for travel.

Manganiello’s dog, Bubbles, has also apparently approved of O’Connor, making the move-in even more seamless.

However, a source told Page Six that O’Connor still “has her own place.”

O’Connor, who is based in Los Angeles, has appeared in several notable TV shows, including “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,” “Two and a Half Men” and “Ray Donavan” as well as films like “American Satan.”

In July 2023, Vergara, 51, and Manganiello revealed to Page Six that they were going their separate ways after seven years of marriage.

Vergara has since moved on with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, with whom she was seen for the first time in October 2023.
