Joe Manganiello seen for first time since Sofía Vergara divorce announcement
Joe Manganiello was seen in public for the first time since he and Sofía Vergara announced their divorce after seven years of marriage. People magazine obtained photos of the “Spider-Man” actor running errands in Los Angeles on Saturday, carrying the couple’s dog, Bubbles. Notably, he was no longer wearing his wedding ring. Manganiello, 46, sported a gray muscle shirt, bandana-printed shorts, and white sneakers for the outing. This was the first sighting of Manganiello since he and Vergara, 51, exclusively revealed to TheFantasyTimes that they were ending their marriage. In a statement, they stated, “We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people who love and care for each other very much, we kindly request respect for our privacy as we navigate this new phase of our lives.” This was also the first time the “Spider-Man” star had been seen since their split was announced. A source informed us that Manganiello and the “Modern Family” alum had been growing apart for some time and were now taking time apart to contemplate their future. Two days after the announcement, the “Magic Mike” star filed for divorce from Vergara, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation. According to court documents obtained by TheFantasyTimes, the couple, who got married in 2015, had a prenuptial agreement and agreed to retain their individual assets accumulated during their union. However, on July 31, the “America’s Got Talent” judge filed to keep “miscellaneous jewelry, artwork, and other personal effects,” as well as any earnings she made before, during, and after their separation. Vergara has allowed her estranged husband to keep their dog, Bubbles, after previously stating that the Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix “hated” her. While Manganiello and Vergara have not publicly addressed their split, a source told TheFantasyTimes that their marriage ended partly due to disagreements about having children. Another friend of the couple mentioned that the “Magic Mike” star felt threatened by Vergara’s success. A close insider to Manganiello revealed that he has always wanted to be a father, and these desires have grown stronger in recent years. On the contrary, a friend of the estranged couple shared with TheFantasyTimes that Vergara is enjoying her life to the fullest. She is spending time with friends after feeling restricted in a relationship with an unsupportive partner. “Sofía was always there to take care of Joe, while his career was never what it was when they met. I think he’s been threatened by her success and joie de vivre.” The couple got married in 2015. Since their separation, Vergara has been living her best life. Most recently, she was seen having a great time at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Los Angeles. She looked stunning in a sparkly two-piece outfit, consisting of a black and silver pinstripe strapless crop top and matching flared trousers.
