Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello, once a Hollywood power couple, have officially closed the chapter on their marriage with an amicable divorce settlement, six months after announcing their separation. The pair, who declared their split in July 2023, finalized their divorce in accordance with their prenuptial agreement, allowing both parties to retain their individual assets amassed during their seven-year union.
The divorce proceedings, as reported by TMZ on Friday, February 9, concluded with mutual respect, with neither party seeking spousal support. This resolution comes as no surprise considering their prenuptial agreement outlined the terms for asset distribution.
The absence of children in their marriage played a pivotal role in the smooth settlement. This fact was also cited as one of the reasons for their separation. In an interview with El País, Vergara explained, “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom.” Having had her first child at 19 and now a grandmother-to-be, Sofia Vergara emphasized her readiness for this new phase of life.
Despite the end of her marriage, Vergara remains open to love, albeit with certain criteria. During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she disclosed her preference for a partner older than 50, aligning with her own age of 51.
Vergara’s romantic history includes a previous marriage to Joe Gonzalez, with whom she shares a son, Manolo, and an engagement to businessman Nick Loeb. However, it was her engagement to Manganiello in 2014 that captured public attention, leading to their wedding in 2015.
Since their split, both Sofia Vergara and Manganiello have moved forward in their personal lives. Manganiello has found companionship with TV reporter Caitlin O’Connor, with whom he made a red carpet appearance in December 2023. Sources close to the couple describe them as a harmonious pair, enjoying each other’s company.
Meanwhile, Vergara has been seen spending time with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, indicating a newfound connection for the actress as she navigates life post-divorce.
