Joe Manganiello Girlfriend: Bridget Peters!

Bridget Peters in one seriously lucky lady. This brunette gets to ogle Joe Manganiello shirtless any time she wants... and not because she owns the complete box set of HBO's True Blood.

People has learned that Peters and Manganiello have been dating since they met last year at a boxing match in Las Vegas.

Peters works as a model (she actually met the actor while playing one of those ring girls who holds up round cards) and has traveled around the globe with Manganiello.

The man behind Alcide Herveaux, meanwhile, gets back to shooting his HBO smash in the very near future. True Blood Season 6 kicks off in June.
