Joe Manganiello, girlfriend Caitlin O’Connor spark engagement rumors with diamond ring during Italian date night

Joe Manganiello and his girlfriend, Caitlin O’Connor, sparked engagement rumors as she was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand during their Italian getaway on Wednesday.

Photos obtained by Page Six showed the TV host in high spirits as she flaunted the shiny bauble on her ring finger while dining with her boyfriend at the exclusive Le Naumachie restaurant in Taormina, Italy.

After dinner, the pair went for a stroll by a local ceramics shop before they returned to the San Domenico Palace Hotel.

O’Connor wore a colorful, patterned short-sleeve dress and a pair of wedge sandals for the outing. At one point, she put her arm on Manganiello’s shoulder during their walk.

He donned a patterned white and black, short-sleeved button up and a pair black pants.

Page Six has reached out to a rep for Manganiello and O’Connor but did not receive an immediate response.

The “Magic Mike” star, 48, and O’Connor, 34, reportedly started dating soon after the actor announced his split from his ex-wife, Sofia Vergara, in July 2023, following seven years of marriage.

O’Connor was said to have moved in with Manganiello last February, according to TMZ.

At the time, a source told the outlet that the couple was “very much in love” and had bonded over their Pittsburgh roots and passion for travel.

However, a source told us at the time that O’Connor still “has her own place.”

Later that month, Manganiello made their relationship Instagram official as he showed his 2.7 million followers how he spent his Valentine’s Day with the actress.

The following month, an insider gave further insight into the pair’s relationship telling People that Manganiello and O’Connor are “very affectionate” toward one another.

They’re also 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,” the source told the outlet, adding that the pair are “super, super happy together.”
