Caitlin went on to note that she and the 48-year-old True Blood actor have bonded over sharing their Pennsylvania roots.
“That’s what we really connect on,” she explained. “We share the same upbringing, the same hometown knowledge. And that’s what really connects us as a couple.”
Caitlin added, “It’s beautiful to be back home together.”
She also shared that their new home looks like it’s out of a “postcard.”
“I’ve never been in a more beautiful neighborhood in Pittsburgh,” Caitlin gushed. “It’s just idyllic.”
While they are just now publicly revealing their move, Caitlin noted that their decision was not “sudden,” explaining, “We were thinking about it for a while.”
Despite no longer living in Los Angeles, Caitlin confirmed that she and Joe plan to continue traveling to L.A. and New York City for work, though their home base will be in Pittsburgh.
Joe was previously married to Sofia Vergara from 2015 until 2024. He and Caitlin initially sparked romance rumors in September 2023, two months after he filed for divorce from the 53-year-old Modern Family actress.
He announced their engagement while being honored at the 2025 San Diego Film Festival in October and then later revealed that he actually proposed back in June.
