If you are a fan of Joe Manganiello, then you already know that he is a dog dad. And his beloved dog, Bubbles is never that far from his side.
Manganiello is often seen with Bubbles in his arms during interviews and at events whenever he is able to bring her with him. So it likely comes as no surprise that as the host of Deal or No Deal Island on NBC, the host brought Bubbles along for the ride. The adorable Chihuahua may not make it onto our screens, but she is right there with Joe off camera.
Back in January 2024, when Joe Manganiello first did the press for Season 1 of Deal or No Deal Island, he talked about bringing Bubbles with him to the island. He mentioned that his Chihuahua was there for him, hunting down scorpions and keeping him company while he worked out. But that's not all, as he shared a story with Jimmy Fallon about protecting his pup from a spider.
Manganiello shared a story where he said, "I'm a guest in the jungle. I know if I kill something in the jungle, the jungle may retaliate. So I had to have a talk with the jungle gods, and I was like, jungle gods I'm about to take one of your own. Do not blame me, do not retaliate. I am a humble chihuahua dad. And the jungle let me leave."
While he has not confirmed whether or not Bubbles joined him for Season 2, we can't imagine him leaving his beloved pup behind, especially knowing that he took the Chihuahua to South Africa. In an update on Bubbles that was shared by Reality Tea, he revealed that he took his pup "around and showed her all the animals."
With how much Bubbles and Joe love each other, there is no doubt in my mind that the Chihuahua was on hand for Season 2 of Deal or No Deal Island. And that leave us wanting her to make at least one cameo appearance in a future episode of the reality competition.
Knowing that Bubbles is on the island with Manganiello and the rest of contestants, it leaves us wanting to see the cute Chihuahua popping up in an episode at least once, much like Alan Cumming's dog Lala does on The Traitors.
