Joe Manganiello is making his new relationship official with the first ever couple post on social media.

The True Blood actor hard launched his romance with girlfriend Caitlin O'Connor to his 2.8 million Instagram followers.

While sharing his “Week in Review” post, Manganiello, 47, added photos from the couple’s romantic Valentine’s Day at a Tool concert.

In addition to a selfie of the couple cuddling up together while listening to the rock band, he also included a photo of himself dressed in a crisp gray suit standing by a bouquet of red roses, along with a photo of Caitlin in a mini red dress with a mesh overlay with the same flowers and a heart-shaped box of chocolates in the background.

“Celebrated Valentine’s Day with Tool & Caitlin… ❤️” he captioned the post, in part.

The relationship milestone comes two months after the Magic Mike actor and the Winning Time actress made their red carpet debut together at the Children of Armenia Fund Gala at Cipriani in New York City on Dec. 9.

Manganiello and O’Conner first sparked romance rumors in Sept. when they were seen leaving a gym together in Venice, Calif., nearly two months after the One Tree Hill star filed for divorce from Sofia Vergara after seven years of marriage.

In July, Manganiello and the Modern Family actress confirmed they were splitting up in a joint statement, noting, "We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives."

The pair previously tied the knot in a lavish wedding in Miami in 2015 after meeting in 2014 at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

In early 2024, Vergara gave insight into what led to the couple’s decision to go their separate ways, telling Spanish-language daily newspaper El País that it was the topic of motherhood that caused friction.

“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby," she said, adding, "I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore. I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother."

Vergara has one child, 32-year-old son Manolo, whom she shares with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez.

Since the split, Vergara, 51, has also been spotted spending time with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman.
