Sofia Vergara was seen joyfully walking in public without her diamond wedding ring for the first time following the announcement of her split from husband Joe Manganiello.
America’s Got Talent judge Sofia Vergara seems to be radiating joy amid her divorce. On a Monday, the 51-year-old former Modern Family star was spotted out and about in Los Angeles, just one week after announcing her split from Joe Manganiello.
In the pic, Vergara appeared relaxed in casual attire, donning sweatpants, a long sleeve T-shirt, and trendy sunglasses. Strikingly absent was her wedding ring, which she had worn throughout their seven-year-long marriage.
Nonetheless, Vergara looked effortlessly stylish in the snapshots. She was seen in high spirits, flashing a bright smile and giving a thumbs-up to the camera as she gracefully strolled by.
News recently broke that Sofia Vergara and Magic Mike star Joe Manganiello had decided to part ways, and they were going through the process of getting a divorce. The announcement about their separation became public last week while Vergara was enjoying a girl’s vacation in Italy.
The 46-year-old actor, Joe Manganiello, cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for filing for divorce from Vergara.
Insiders Shed Light on Reasons Behind Celebrity Couple’s Split
Sources close to the couple have shed light on the reasons behind the high-profile split. According to the insiders, the issue of having a childless marriage was a point of contention for Joe, whereas Sofia did not view it as a problem.
Another source disclosed that the couple had been gradually “growing apart” over time, and at some point, they had to take some time apart to reflect on their future.
According to a source who spoke with ET, the reason behind Vergara and Manganiello’s split is that they have been intentionally spending time apart to concentrate on themselves, their respective careers, and their close relationships.
“They have been spending time apart and focusing on themselves, their careers, and their loved ones. Sofia has been giving her all to her new beauty brand, toty, and is very involved and excited about it,” the source said. “She hosted an event to celebrate the launch towards the end of June at her home in Los Angeles, and Joe was not there.”
After seven years of marriage, the couple made a joint statement announcing their difficult decision to divorce. In the statement, they emphasized their love and care for each other and politely requested respect for their privacy as they navigate this new phase of their lives.
How did Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello meet?
The couple’s story began in May 2014, while Vergara was engaged to businessman Nick Loeb. However, by the following month, Manganiello had won her heart, and the couple publicly announced they were dating.
In a 2015 interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live! Vergara admitted having reservations right from the start, fearing that Manganiello’s striking “good looks” might pose challenges in their relationship. Despite her initial concerns, their love blossomed, and after six months, Manganiello proposed to Vergara on a magical Christmas Eve in 2014. The two tied the knot in November of the next year in a beautiful ceremony in Palm Beach, Florida.
TMZ later obtained documents indicating the presence of a prenuptial agreement, which indicated both celebrities would retain their individual assets in the event of a divorce.
Sources close to Vergara told PageSix that she is now living her best life, cherishing moments spent with friends after feeling somewhat stifled during her marriage. The source suggested that Vergara had always been supportive of Manganiello, especially when his career didn’t reach the heights it had when they first met. Allegedly, he felt threatened by her success and vivacious spirit.
