Joe Manganiello, at 47, has swiftly transitioned into a new chapter of his life by moving in with his girlfriend, Caitlin O'Connor, 34, just three months into their relationship. 

This move comes shortly after Joe finalized his divorce from Sofia Vergara, 51, to whom he was married for seven years. According to TMZ Joe and Caitlin are deeply in love and enjoying their new living arrangement. 

The bond between Joe and Caitlin, both hailing from Pittsburgh, has deepened through shared backgrounds and romantic getaways to places like New York and Italy.

Joe initiated the divorce proceedings from Sofia in September, stating "irreconcilable differences" as the cause.

She disclosed that the age difference and diverging desires regarding parenthood led to their split.

Sofia expressed her reservations about becoming an older mother, stating, "My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom." 

She further elaborated on her views about motherhood at her age and her readiness to embrace grandmotherhood when the time comes, especially concerning her son Manolo, 32.
