Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello are divorcing after seven full years of marriage, confirming the news in a statement to Page Six that simply 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.”
So…..what happened? “Sources close to the couple” spoke to the Daily Mail and said the Sofia and Joe have “different attitudes” that caused them to become less connected.
“Joe is a big kid, he loves playing Dungeons & Dragons, he loves wrestling, he is all about video games, superhero movies, comic books, going to concerts, huge NFL fan. He chases fun,” one source mused. “He always loves being out and about and just having a good time. And then when it is time to be serious and when it is time to get to work, he turns on that part of himself, but he is always ready to live life to the fullest and go out and just be fun and have fun.”
Turns out this whole vibe was “immediately an attraction for Sofía” who is the “complete opposite.” But then “the true versions of themselves started showing and they just got annoyed with each other, choosing work over hanging out.”
“Then bit by bit, they stopped wanting to be together and stopped hanging out because something so little would often trigger an attitude that would bug them, just their attitudes on everything were completely different and something like that is extremely draining for a relationship and they got to the point where it would be a good day and one thing would be said or done and they would just get upset with each other,” the source went on to say. “It added up to where now it is easier and more relaxing not being together. When people say they will be friendly, they will, but the romance part of things is over. They grew a part from something that could have been really good.”
As a reminder, rumors about the couples’ relationship status reached fever pitch shortly before they announced their split—mostly thanks to Joe’s less-than-enthusiastic birthday greetings to his wife on Instagram:
And speaking of Instagram captions, Sofía’s been out here all:
