True Blood’s hottest werewolf, Joe Manganiello, is officially off the market. He’s engaged to his girlfriend, actress Audra Marie, after dating for over a year. It sounds like he’s head over heels for her too. He even proposed on a trip to Italy. Oh sigh.

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.

“She wouldn’t go out with me for six months,” Manganiello told PEOPLE in September. “We started dating a few months before I got cast [on True Blood].”

Manganiello says Marie is “a great dresser. She’s gorgeous, and she’s tall. And she’s sweet … nice. And she makes crazy English breakfasts.”

Marie, meanwhile, says her man’s most appealing qualities are his “sense of humor, his work ethic and how humble he is with everything that has gone on.”

The pair have not yet set a wedding date.

I swear I read an interview with Manganiello where he admitted his girlfriend helps pick out his clothes. I can’t find it again, but it’s etched in my memory. Their matchy-matchy clothes on so many occasions suggest that’s the case anyway. They’re such a cute couple! While looking for that interview I watched and read some interviews with Manganiello and was struck by how gracious he is to his fans and grateful for the opportunities he’s been given. He seems like a great guy, and we know what an awe-inducing body he has. Audra is a lucky woman, and it’s clear Joe feels the same.

    Haha, she’s “tall,” he says.

    That’s such an interesting quality to discuss when referring to the woman you love. You would think “brilliant, lovely, amazing,”… I don’t know.

    Best of luck to them anyway.

    Joe had better watch out, Audra’s a money grubbing b*tch! She’s still putting her ex-husband through the ringer for money cause she doesn’t have her GED and can’t hold a steady job! Joe needs to get some cajones and support his woman!
