Sofia Vergara and her husband Joe Manganiello have announced that they’re filing for divorce after seven years of marriage.
In a joint statement, the couple said: “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.”
Sofia, 51, and Joe, 46, first met in May 2014 – just before she called off her engagement to her ex Nick Loeb – and started dating a month later.
A love-struck Joe proposed to Sofia just six months later in a romantic gesture on Christmas Eve.
The couple were on a trip to Hawaii at the time and, after being hounded by paparazzi, Joe changed his plans for a beach proposal and opted instead to propose privately in the couple’s suite.
Joe later revealed that he had prepared a “whole speech in Spanish” – which he didn’t speak a word of at the time, but is Sofia’s mother tongue.
“I proposed to her on one knee in Spanish with the sun going down. It was awesome,” Joe said.
The smitten couple eventually tied the knot in November 2015, in a very glamorous ceremony in Florida’s exclusive and glitzy Palm Beach county.
However, sources now claim that the couple have drifted apart and are total “opposites”.
A source told The Daily Mail that while Joe is a “big kid” who “chases fun” with an interest in comic books and sports and a love for going out and partying, Sofia is “completely the opposite.”
They added that Sofia has a “temper” and “gets upset over stupid things very easily, whereas Joe tries to let things bounce off of him and go with the flow.”
The source explained that, while these problems seemed insignificant while they were first falling in love, their differences became more and more of a problem with time.
“It added up to where it is now easier and more relaxing not being together,” the source said, before adding that they do plan to stay on friendly terms, even if their romantic relationship is over for good.
The announcement comes just days after Joe wished his wife a happy birthday on Instagram.
The 46 year old shared a selfie of him and his wife, who starred in Modern Family until 2020, from the streets of New York, with no clear date, while Sofia marked her big day in Capri, Italy all by herself – and without her ring.
