Just last month, it was reported that Manganiello is trying to keep his relationship with Vergara private and away from the public eye. According to Extra TV back in December, the actor is trying to keep their relationship at bay from the paparazzi and the tabloid world.

About the couple's recent engagement in Hawaii, a source said Manganiello "wanted to keep it private... He said this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with a one-in-a-million woman."

The insider added, "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."

The couple has been dating for six months and announced their engagement on Christmas Day.
