Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello Are Divorcing

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are calling it quits. After seven years of marriage, the two made a statement to Page Six saying that while they care for each other, they will be making the decision to divorce. 

“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," the couple shared with the publication. 

While the two did choose to release a joint statement to get ahead of rumors, sources close to the couple note that they've been growing distant, which some pointed out in Manganiello's latest birthday tribute to his soon-to-be-ex wife.

"Sofía and Joe have been growing apart for a while now and are taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future," a source noted to Page Six. Vergara has been in Italy promoting her sunscreen brand Toty and celebrating her 51st birthday. The last time the two were seen together was last month, when Vergara visited the set of Manganiello's Nonnas in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Comments on Vergara's Instagram posts read like a conspiracy theorist's dream, with notes like, "Is anyone else wondering where’s Joe?” and “Wondering where her husband is, he hasn’t shown up in any of the photos of videos" appearing alongside her bikini photos and sprawling Italian vistas. 

“At the start of Sofia’s big birthday trip those close to her were explaining away Joe’s absence with the excuse that he was busy filming back on the East Coast; that excuse barely held up due to the writers strike, but once the actor’s strike took effect, he could have been on the first flight … and he quite clearly is not," another source explained to P6. “So, now no one out there with her is even attempting to pretend that it’s not over. It’s over. It’s done.”

Vergara and Manganiello married in November 2015 after meeting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in 2014.
