Joe Manganiello and his fiancée Caitlin O’Connor have officially relocated from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The couple’s move marks a significant change as they transition from the bustling Hollywood lifestyle to a quieter suburban life in Mount Lebanon, a neighborhood they both cherish. O’Connor confirmed the news in a recent interview, stating that the decision had been in the works for some time, despite the coinciding cancellation of Manganiello’s game show, Deal or No Deal Island, by NBC.
In her remarks, O’Connor emphasized their strong ties to Pittsburgh, noting that both she and Manganiello grew up in the area. “I mean, L.A. has been both of our homes for over 20 years,” she explained. O’Connor, who was born in Los Angeles but raised in Pittsburgh, highlighted the pair’s shared roots, saying, “We’re both from the same hometown.”
Finding Beauty in Their New Home
O’Connor expressed her excitement about their new neighborhood, describing it as “picture-perfect.” She remarked, “I’ve never been in a more beautiful neighborhood in Pittsburgh. It’s just idyllic,” sharing her enthusiasm for the area’s charm and welcoming atmosphere. The couple appears to be adapting well to their new surroundings, even braving the winter weather. O’Connor humorously recounted an afternoon spent watching Manganiello shovel snow, calling it “the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Despite their departure from Los Angeles, the couple plans to maintain a presence in California for work commitments. O’Connor indicated they are prepared to travel back and forth as necessary, balancing their professional obligations with their new life in Pittsburgh.
Celebrating the Holidays in Their Hometown
As they adjust to their new environment, the couple is also preparing for the upcoming holiday season. O’Connor revealed that they plan to host a “big family celebration” in Pittsburgh, inviting parents and friends to join them for Christmas. This move back to their roots comes at a time when many are reflecting on family and community, making it an opportune moment for the couple to reconnect with loved ones.
The relocation appears to be a positive step for Manganiello and O’Connor, who are embracing their new chapter together. As they navigate the transition, their commitment to both their personal lives and their careers remains a focal point of their journey.
