UPDATE: In a surprise turn of events, actor Joe Manganiello and his fiancée Caitlin O’Connor have officially left Los Angeles for Pittsburgh, their hometown. The couple’s recent relocation marks a significant change as they trade the sunny Hollywood lifestyle for the snowy charm of Pennsylvania.
O’Connor confirmed the move in a new interview, describing it as a “recent decision,” yet one that had been considered for some time. “I mean, L.A. has been both of our homes for over 20 years,” she stated, emphasizing their deep roots in the area. Both Manganiello and O’Connor hail from Mount Lebanon, a picturesque suburb of Pittsburgh.
The timing of their move coincides with the cancellation of Manganiello’s game show, Deal or No Deal Island, by NBC, adding a layer of urgency to their transition. While this would typically be a setback, the couple is embracing their new life. O’Connor expressed her delight in their new neighborhood, calling it “picture-perfect” and “idyllic.” She noted the community feels “safe” and welcoming, making it an ideal place for their family celebrations.
Despite their departure from L.A., the couple plans to travel back frequently for work commitments, maintaining their Hollywood ties. O’Connor humorously recounted, “I mean, I watched Joe shovel snow in our driveway for two-and-a-half hours yesterday. And it was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.” This playful remark highlights their adjustment to the colder climate and the joys of settling into a new home.
As the holiday season approaches, the couple is excited about hosting a “big family celebration” in Pittsburgh, inviting parents and friends to join them for Christmas festivities. This move not only marks a new chapter for Manganiello and O’Connor but also brings them closer to their roots during a time of year focused on family and togetherness.
With the move finalized and plans underway for the holidays, fans are eager to see how this change impacts Manganiello’s career and personal life. Expect updates as the couple navigates their return to Pittsburgh and the challenges that come with it. Stay tuned for more on Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor’s journey from Hollywood to their hometown.
