Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor are setting their sights on Pittsburgh, and it’s not just for a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The couple has decided to leave behind the glitz of Los Angeles, citing rising crime rates as a driving factor behind their relocation. O’Connor spilled the beans about how Los Angeles is no longer the entertainment mecca it once was, with auditions now shifting to Zoom and filming moving overseas. It seems the City of Angels isn’t quite as alluring as it used to be.
Growing up in Pittsburgh, both Manganiello and O’Connor have fond roots in the area, which makes the move feel even more special. O’Connor describes their new neighborhood as idyllic and perfect for them, leading to a newfound sense of safety and comfort. After spending over twenty years in L.A., this leap marks a significant change for the couple, who are cherishing their return to a simpler life while still embracing the travel that comes with their careers. The couple is committed to keeping their adventures alive, collecting art and ornaments from the many places they visit together. Who knew that trading Hollywood for hometown charm could come with such delightful perks?
