Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are divorcing after seven years of marriage. "We have made the difficult decision to divorce," the couple said in a joint statement shared with Page Six. "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." Fox News Digital has reached out to representatives for Vergara and Manganiello for comment.
Vergara, 51, and Manganiello, 46, first met at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2014. Vergara attended the event with her then-fiance, Nick Loeb.
Manganiello recalled immediately falling for the "America's Got Talent" judge when he first saw her and detailed the encounter on SiriusXM's "The Jess Cagle Show" in 2020. "As we’re walking around, who comes swooping down in front of us and just walks in front of us for about 100 yards is Sofia Vergara," Manganiello said. "She was wearing this dress that looked great on her and I just could not take my eyes off of her." Her "Modern Family" co-star, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, eventually introduced them.
Vergara later ended her engagement with Loeb. The "True Blood" star heard of the broken engagement, and from there, he made his move. "I hit up Jesse Tyler Ferguson and said, ‘Hey man, was she broken up with the guy at the time?’" recalled the actor.
