Manganiello made his split from his wife Sofia Vergara official in July. At the time, the Magic Mike XXL star and the Modern Family actress confirmed they were splitting up in a joint statement, "We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives."

The pair previously tied the knot in a lavish wedding in Miami in 2015 after meeting in 2014 at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Not long after their break-up announcement, Manganiello filed for divorce from Vergara, listing their official separation date as July 2.

And it isn't just Manganiello who has moved on, as Vergara, 51, has been spotted spending time with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. In November, Vergara stepped out with Saliman for a dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, Calif.

This outing came shortly after they were first photographed together in October, when they had dinner at Funke in Beverly Hills, Calif.
