O’Connor stepped out in a nude crop top, layered under a camel-colored coat draped over her shoulders. She paired the top with blue patchwork denim jeans and completed the outfit with strappy beige heels.
Manganiello, 48, confirmed his engagement to the 36-year-old E! News correspondent in mid-October. The actor posted a photo of the couple holding their Chihuahua, Bubbles, while O’Connor flashed her sparkling diamond ring. His caption, “June 24th, 2025,” accompanied by two ring emojis, revealed that the proposal actually happened nearly four months earlier.
The pair were first linked in September 2023, months after Manganiello announced his divorce from Modern Family star Sofia Vergara. He and Vergara were married from 2015 until their split in the summer of 2023. Manganiello and O’Connor reportedly met at an “unofficial” afterparty for HBO’s “Winning Time” in a hot tub. A source told People that the chemistry was immediate: “The first time they met in the hot tub and they were talking the whole time!”
