Joe Manganiello and his fiancé, Caitlin O'Connor, have left Los Angeles behind for their hometown of Pittsburgh.
During an interview with People, O'Connor, 36, shared that she and Manganiello, 48, have recently moved to a suburb outside the city – Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
"I mean, L.A. has been both of our homes for over 20 years. I was born in L.A., but raised in Pittsburgh, so we're both from the same hometown," she began.
