Joe and Sofia have both moved on following their shock split last year

Joe Manganiello has moved in with girlfriend Caitlin O’Connor just seven months after splitting from ex-wife Sofia Vergara.

The 47-year-old Magic Mike star made his romance with the 34-year-old actress Instagram official as he uploaded a series of images showcasing their love to his 2.8 million followers. Joe sneaked a sweet selfie of him and Caitlin into the slideshow, as he revealed he had taken the Two and a Half Men star to a heavy metal concert on Valentine’s Day.

“The week in review…” he began the caption, as he told his followers what he had been up to over the last seven days. As well as filming his new show Deal or No Deal Island, he revealed he had been hanging out with his dog Bubbles, as well as filming a music video with Billy Morrison. “And celebrated Valentine’s Day with Tool & Caitlin…” Joe added, alongside a love heart emoji.

According to TMZ, the couple have also moved in together, just seven months after Joe and ex-wife Sofia announced they were parting ways. An insider claimed the True Blood star and Caitlin are “very much in love”, and his dog Bubbles has approved their relationship. However, it later emerged Caitlin still “has her own place” while she studies acting at the John Ruskin School of Acting in Santa Monica, California.

Modern Family star Sofia and Joe finalised their divorce earlier this month, following their shock split in July last year after seven years of marriage. “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,” they said in a joint statement.

It later emerged that the former couple had parted ways because Joe wanted to start a family, while Sofia, 51, said she “didn’t want to be an old mom”. The Griselda actress is already mother to Manolo, 32, and in an interview with El Pais last month, she candidly spoke about the reasons for her and Joe’s divorce.

“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 had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother,” she added. She’s since found love with Beverly Hills-based orthopaedic surgeon Justin Saliman, who she’s been dating since October last year.
