by

Caitlin O’Connor, who is engaged to Joe Manganiello, was seen in Los Angeles without her engagement ring shortly after they announced he had proposed.

Putting rumors to rest, the TV host and the 48-year-old actor were seen walking together with their dog, a Chihuahua, showing everything is fine between them.

The actress looked relaxed and sporty for a casual outing, wearing a black crop top, leggings, and a baseball cap while she talked with her fiancé, who is also a movie star.

Joe Manganiello, who was married to Sofia Vergara for seven years, appeared relaxed while wearing a graphic sweatshirt, patterned shorts, and green Nike sneakers.

The couple appeared in high spirits and shared a laugh while strolling down the sidewalk.

This latest appearance happened soon after the actor, known for Magic Mike, announced his engagement online.

Manganiello shared an adorable picture of himself with O’Connor, showing off her dazzling diamond ring as they both held their dog, Bubbles.

Okay, so I’m getting the inside scoop, and it looks like Joe’s proposal wasn’t just announced! He actually popped the question way back on June 24th, 2025 – that’s almost four months ago! He shared the date along with a couple of diamond ring emojis, so the cat’s officially out of the bag. It’s sweet they kept it under wraps for a little while!

Earlier that day, TMZ reported that Joe Manganiello had announced Sinéad O’Connor as his future wife at the San Diego Film Festival, where he received a career achievement award.

Joe Manganiello and Megan O’Connor were first seen together in September 2023, shortly after his divorce from Sofia Vergara of ‘Modern Family’ became public.

Currently a correspondent for E! News, O’Connor is also an actress with roles including Dyan Cannon in HBO’s Winning Time and an appearance in the final episode of Two and a Half Men.

The pair reportedly first met at an afterparty for Winning Time, where they hit it off immediately.

According to a source who spoke with People magazine, they immediately connected when they first met – they spent the entire time chatting in the hot tub!

In December, the couple first appeared together on the red carpet at a gala celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Children of Armenia Fund in New York City. Joe Manganiello, who has Armenian heritage, was being recognized at the event.

Insiders have since described the couple as effortlessly compatible. 

According to a source who spoke with Us Weekly, the two get along great because they’re both very laid-back. The source also shared that O’Connor is down-to-earth and doesn’t drink much or go out partying.

According to a source at DailyMail.com, Joe Manganiello really wants to have children, and this desire is said to have contributed to his separation from Sofia Vergara.

According to a source close to the couple, Joe and Caitlin are a great match and he’s incredibly happy to have found her. They’re planning a quick engagement and hope to start a family soon, excited about building a future together that includes marriage and children.

Sofia Vergara, 53, has shared that she and her ex-husband separated in 2023 because they disagreed about having children. She explained to El País that he wanted to be a father, but she didn’t want to have children later in life.

However, Manganiello offered a different account, telling Men’s Journal that he and Vergara ‘did try to start a family for the first year and a half’ of their marriage, but ultimately, they separated because they ‘grew apart.’

‘To be painted as if I had some sort of midlife crisis… that’s never who I was,’ he said.
