After 7 years of marriage, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello have decided to split

Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello, who had been married for seven years, have recently made the difficult decision to divorce, according to reports. The news about their split emerged after Sofía was spotted celebrating her 51st birthday in Italy with her friends, noticeably without her wedding ring and husband.

In a joint statement provided to Page Six, the former couple expressed their mutual love and care for each other, requesting privacy as they go through divorce. The statement read, “We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

According to sources close to the couple, they had been experiencing a growing distance between them for some time, leading them to take some time apart to reflect on their future. Although they were seen together last month in Hoboken, New Jersey, on the set of Joe’s new movie, their split announcement did not come as a surprise to many fans who had been speculating about their relationship status for a while.

The speculation had risen due to Joe’s absence from Sofía’s Instagram posts, and fans had also noticed that his birthday message for Sofía lacked the usual warmth and affection. He simply wrote, “¡¡¡Feliz Cumpleaños Sofía!!!” without any additional words of endearment.

Sofía and Joe’s journey began in 2015 when they tied the knot in a luxurious wedding ceremony in Palm Beach, California. However, since the announcement of their divorce, neither of them has addressed the topic on their social media platforms.
