Joe Manganiello Makes New Relationship Red Carpet Official 5 Months After Sofía Vergara Split

Joe Manganiello just went red carpet official with his new girlfriend, actor Caitlin O’Connor—a move that comes five months after his split from Sofía Vergara. Joe and Caitlin attended the Children of Armenia Fund gala on December 9, and yep, there was some mild PDA (peep the hand placement!).

These two were first linked back in September, and according to People they met at the Winning Time after-party, which apparently... had a hot tub? At least based on a source saying that "the first time they met in the hot tub and they were talking the whole time!"

Reminder that Joe filed for divorce from Sofía back in July due to "irreconcilable differences," and the pair released a joint statement reading "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."

As for why these two split, a source told the Daily Mail that, "They stopped wanting to be together and stopped hanging out because something so little would often trigger an attitude that would bug them…just their attitudes on everything were completely different and something like that is extremely draining for a relationship and they got to the point where it would be a good day and one thing would be said or done and they would just get upset with each other. It added up to where now it is easier and more relaxing not being together. "
