Joe Manganiello made his red carpet debut with Caitlin O'Connor over the weekend – five months after he filed for divorce from Sofía Vergara.
The “True Blood” star, 46, and the “Winning Time” actress, 33, smiled together before the Children of Armenia Fund gala at Cipriani in New York City on Saturday evening.
In the photos, Manganiello wrapped his arm around O'Connor's waist and held her while he posed for photographers.
The “Magic Mike XXL” star wore a simple black suit with a matching tie and a gray-blue button-down underneath.
As for O'Connor, the actress stunned in a plunging emerald green gown with a corseted bodice and high slit that revealed the actress' crystal-encrusted heels.
She completed the royal look with dangling crystal and emerald earrings and simple stacked bracelets.
Page Six reported in September that Manganiello and O'Connor had been seeing each other “occasionally.”

According to a report from TMZ at the time, the two met in August during a screening of the second season of “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.”
Following the event, O'Connor and Manganiello met up with friends at an afterparty where they all enjoyed a soak in the hot tub together.
The outlet also reported that the two bonded because they were both from the greater Pittsburgh area.

Their romance began to sour after Manganiello's seven-year marriage to Vergara ended in July.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the former couple said in a statement to Page Six at the time.
“As two people who love and care for each other deeply, we politely ask for respect for our privacy in this new phase of our lives.”
