After an enduring partnership of seven years, famous Hollywood couple Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello have shocked their fans by announcing their divorce.
The surprise revelation was made while Vergara was in Italy, joyfully marking her 51st birthday, amidst speculation about their growing distance.
The couple officially confirmed the news to Page Six: “We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people who love and care deeply for one another, we respectfully request privacy as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
The Underlying Reasons
When the birthday celebrations commenced, those in Vergara’s close circle attributed Manganiello’s absence to his work commitments on the East Coast. However, insiders grew suspicious when he didn’t appear even after the writers’ and actors’ strikes offered him a window of opportunity to join the celebrations.
A source, offering deeper insights into the couple’s relationship, stated, “That excuse barely held water due to the writers’ strike, but once the actors’ strike went into effect, he could have been on the first flight, but he’s not.” The source added, “At this point, no one with her is attempting to feign that the situation is not over. It’s ended. It’s finished.”
Even amidst the unfolding personal drama, Vergara celebrated her 51st birthday in style, in the scenic vistas of Italy, without Manganiello by her side. Her captivating photoshoot, featuring her basking in the sun on a picturesque balcony in an elegant blue swimsuit, drew admiration from all quarters.
