Joe and Caitlin first sparked dating rumors in September 2023, just months after the True Blood star filed for divorce from his former wife, actress Sofia Vergara. Their relationship went public in December 2023 when they attended the Children of Armenia Fund Gala in New York City. By February 2024, reports confirmed that the couple had moved in together, bonding over their shared Pittsburgh roots and mutual love for travel.
Speculation about the engagement had been circulating for months, particularly after Caitlin was spotted wearing a dazzling ring while dining in Italy in June 2025. Now, with the public announcement, fans can celebrate the couple’s next chapter together. For Caitlin, this will be her first marriage, while Joe walks down the aisle for the second time following his amicable split from Sofia Vergara after nearly eight years of marriage.
The couple’s journey reflects a blend of new beginnings and personal growth, and their social media announcement captures the joy and excitement of this milestone in their lives.
