Joe Manganiello Files for Divorce from Sofía Vergara After 7 Years of Marriage
After announcing their split just two days ago, Joe Manganiello has officially filed for divorce from Sofía Vergara, according to sources. The couple, who had been married for seven years, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their separation.
One of the main issues that reportedly contributed to their split was conflicting opinions about expanding their family. A source revealed that Manganiello “really wanted to have a baby” with Vergara, but she wasn’t interested, leading to a significant rift between them. This difference in desires ultimately proved to be a major obstacle for the couple.
In addition to their differing views on having children, sources also mentioned that Manganiello and Vergara had contrasting approaches to dealing with fame and divergent personal interests. The insider stated that while Vergara cared about public perception and enjoyed the attention that comes with being a major star, Manganiello was more laid-back and had a “guy’s guy” personality.
Despite their efforts to make their marriage work, including prioritizing each other’s interests, the couple struggled due to their contrasting styles and preferences. The couple released a joint statement earlier this week, announcing their decision to divorce and requesting privacy as they navigate this new phase of their lives.
The news of their split emerged shortly after Vergara was seen celebrating her 51st birthday in Italy without her wedding ring. Manganiello, although absent from the festivities, took to Instagram to share a birthday tribute to his estranged wife. The couple’s last public appearance together was at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in March 2023.
Manganiello and Vergara tied the knot in November 2015 in Palm Beach, Florida. Last year, on their seventh anniversary, Vergara shared nostalgic photos from their wedding day, expressing her love for her husband. Manganiello also spoke highly of their relationship, stating that he knew early on that he could trust Vergara and that they were both capable of putting each other’s needs first.
As the divorce proceedings begin, fans and followers will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how the former couple navigates this difficult time.
