Nearly seven months after announcing their heartbreaking divorce, Joe Manganiello has moved on with actress Caitlin O’Connor. The pair made their red carpet debut as a couple in December 2022. Meanwhile, Sofia Vergara is focusing on her personal growth and professional success following the split.
Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello seemed like a dream celebrity couple when they began dating in 2014. After a whirlwind romance, the pair married in 2015. Over the next seven years, they graced red carpets hand-in-hand and blended their families. However, in 2022, the fairy tale came to an end when Manganiello filed for divorce in July after 10 years together.
Sofia Vergara “Wishes Joe the Best” As He Finds Love Again
According to OK Magazine, a source close to the Modern Family star said that Manganiello’s new relationship “doesn’t faze her.” The insider revealed Vergara “wishes Joe the best” as he embarks on this new romance.
The Source further added, “She is relieved to be in control of her life and is excited about what the future holds in her personal and professional life. She’s excited to start a new chapter.”
It seems Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello have both moved forward personally and professionally since announcing their split last summer. Vergara was honest about the challenges she and Manganiello faced as a couple with a sizable age gap.
“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger,” the actress told El País. “He wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby.”
Manganiello filed for divorce in July 2022 when he was 45 years old and Vergara was 50. “I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore,” Vergara explained. The former couple had been together for 10 years and married for seven.

In the months following the divorce announcement, Vergara has been linked to physician Dr. Justin Saliman. An eyewitness said they saw Vergara and Saliman “kissing and cuddling” during a weekend getaway in Florida.
While Vergara appears to be dipping her toes back in the dating pool, she’s not rushing to the altar again. The Griselda star is “not looking to be tied down” to just one man right now.
