Joe Manganiello is making his relationship with Caitlin O’Connor Instagram official. Earlier this week, he shared a recap of what he’s been up to recently, including his Valentine’s Day plans, which featured O’Connor and himself enjoying their time together in a packed venue.

The post was made up of various images, and featured some of what he’d done over the course of a packed week. The photos included moments from a fan meet and greet for the show “Deal or No Deal,” spending plenty of quality time with his dog Bubbles, shooting a music video, getting a tattoo and spending his first Valentine’s Day with O’Connor. The photo shows the two at a packed venue, enjoying a concert of Tool, a famous rock band. The last two photos in the roundup showed Manganiello in a tux as he posed with some red roses, and O’Connor in a stylish dress and she looked at a chocolate heart that read “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

“The week in review…,” he captioned the post. “As we are almost a week away from the DEAL OR NO DEAL ISLAND premiere Monday February 26th, we got together at Hollywood & Highland to play some games with the crowd of fans that showed up… I headed off-grid to shoot a music video with my buddy Billy Morrison while Bubbles made a new friend… Found some time to get some shading done with Small Paul… And celebrated Valentine’s Day with Tool & Caitlin…”
