Congratulations to Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara! The "Magic Mike XXL" star and "Modern Family" favorite have just announced their engagement.
Mangianello dropped on one knee on Christmas this year, as the celebrity couple was on a steamy Hawaiian vacation.
People Magazine has the detail on just how Manganiello proposed- apparently, the sex symbol prepared obsessively to make sure every little detail came out just right.
"This wasn't spontaneous. Joe definitely planned ahead and contacted the hotel weeks in advance to discuss certain things he wanted to do," the source said. "He didn't want to propose in a public setting, even though there are so many beautiful spots on the hotel grounds that have spectacular views and are well-known as places where people pop the question. But Joe said he didn't want to risk anyone walking by and witnessing it, and he didn't want to tip off Sofia by having security there shooing people away."
Smart man. And it seems to have paid off, given how happy the couple looks.
The happy couple have been spending a lot of time on the "Magic Mike XXL" set- not just Mangianello, obviously (he's starring in the movie), but Vergara too. According to KpopStarz, Vergara was on set so much that people started to assume she'd be doing a cameo in the film - but no, that's not the case. She just really likes her fiance.
"She was just there hanging out being supportive," said Manganiello when asked about it.
And apparently, Manganiello's time as a fictional movie stripper is definitely helping their relationship.
Manganiello "moves perfectly," said Vergara. "I don't have to give him any pointers."
Although the job has it's downsides. "It's dangerous to be a stripper!" Vergara reveals, adding that her now-fiance injured his arm performing a few "Magic Mike" moves. "I thought it was just fun and games, but no."
Sounds like this is going to be a very long, very happy marriage for both of them.
