(Joe Manganiello: Former OTH’s Owen)
Sorry ladies, Joe Manganiello is off the market.
While on vacation in Italy the True Blood heartthrob, 33, popped the question to his girlfriend, actress/model Audra Marie, his rep tells PEOPLE.
Manganiello, who plays werewolf Alcide Herveaux on the HBO drama, and Marie met at a 2009 Super Bowl party, but it was anything but love at first sight.

Former One Tree Hill actor Joe Manganiello heating up True Blood.
Alcide Herveaux’s animal magnetism is heating up “True Blood” this season, especially after he showed more than fur Sunday night.
“At least let me go put on a shirt,” Alcide told Sookie Stackhouse in “9 Crimes.”
Um, no need to do that on our account, wolf man. Alcide will showed more skin July 18 in “Trouble,” which means its high time I make actor Joe Manganiello the new Shirtless Man of the Week. It’s not the first time the shirtless hunks of “True Blood” have been in a SMotW post.

The 33-year-old actor, who plays werewolf Alcide in season 3 of True Blood, teams up with Sookie (Anna Paquin) to rescue her kidnapped beau, Bill.
“There is definitely some [sexual] energy between the two of them,” executive producer Alan Ball tells EW. “It’s not like either one of them is looking for romance, but they’re thrown into several intense situations [and] it’s hard not to bond on a deeper level. The first shirtless scene [Joe] had I was like, ‘Who has those abs?’ He’s in crazy peak physical condition. He’s eating nothing but pure protein. And of course, this being True Blood, he’s already shot his first naked scene. Hello, werewolves when they shift — no clothes!”

K, promise not to put a bunch of True Blood stuff on here but I thought it’d be worth it to see the first look of “Owen” on there. Once again, congrats to him and good luck!
“There is definitely some [sexual] energy between the two of them,” says executive producer Alan Ball of the dynamic between his newest mane attraction, werewolf Alcide One Tree Hill’s Joe Manganiello, and Sookie Anna Paquin, who team up in season 3 debuting June 12 to track down her kidnapped beau, Bill. “It’s not like either one of them is looking for romance, but they’re thrown into several intense situations [and] it’s hard not to bond on a deeper level.”

It is safe to say 2010 might just be the year of Joe Manganiello. Not only is he reprising his role as the bartender Owen on One Tree Hill, set to air in February, he also garnered the coveted role of Alcide the werewolf on season three of HBO’s hit series True Blood.
Manganiello is currently in Wilmington filming for One Tree Hill and then will head back to Los Angeles to begin filming True Blood in late January. He paused from his busy schedule to visit the One Tree Hill Podcast to share his news about returning to One Tree Hill and True Blood. He even gave a preview of his Mississippi accent he is trying to perfect for True Blood.
Check out Manganiello’s exclusive interview on the One Tree Hill Podcast January 11.
Today is Joe’s 33rd birthday. Big congrats to him for his new role in True Blood and we can’t wait to have Owen back as well. Happy Birthday, Joe!
Bon Temps-bound Joe Manganiello is making a little pit stop in Tree Hill.
The actor, whose career got a monster-sized boost earlier this week when he landed the coveted role of werewolf Alcide on True Blood, has signed on to reprise his role as Brooke’s alcoholic ex, Owen, on One Tree Hill for an episode.
Manganiello will squeeze in his OTH comeback before beginning work on True Blood in late January.
When last seen in season 6, Owen was heading off to rehab. What brings him back? Beats me. Whatever the reason, it’s safe to say he’ll add another layer of tension to Brooke’s already-rocky romance with Julian. At least that’s what EW’s Jennifer Armstrong theorizes. I’m a little behind on OTH.
Thoughts? Looking forward to seeing Owen again? Happy to see that Manganiello hasn’t forgotten his roots? Sound off below!

True Blood fans, it’s the casting news you’ve been waiting for…
Joe Manganiello, best known for playing barkeep Owen on One Tree Hill and Marshall’s law school chum Brad on How I Met Your Mother, has landed season 3’s most important new role: Sookie’s werewolf crush, Alcide Herveaux.
If Alan Ball follows Charlaine Harris’ books, Eric will summon Alcide — described in casting breakdowns as good-looking, rough-around-the-edges, articulate, heroic, and decent — to assist Sookie in her search for Bill.
