Why Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello ended their relationship

With absolute discretion and after seven years of marriage, Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello announced their separation. But what were the reasons that caused the break? Sources close to the actors revealed some of them.

Sofía Vergara

Sofía Vergara is a Colombian actress who rose to fame with her role as Gloria during almost 10 seasons in the very successful series 'Modern Family'.

Joe Manganiello

Joe Manganiello has had several participations in television such as 'True Blood', and 'One Three Hill', but it was with the movie 'Magic Mike' in which, showing "all" his attributes, he jumped to fame.

A beautiful story

Their love story began at a White House dinner in 2014. Then, there was a wedding in Miami in 2015 and many happy appearances together on the red carpet. They seemed like one of the steadiest couples in Hollywood.

Why did Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello split up?

Officially, the couple declared: "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."

Estranged

However, despite the words of affection in the statement, sources close to the couple revealed to 'People Español' that Vergara and Manganiello had been estranged for quite some time.

Dry message for Sofía's birthday

One of the things that caught the attention of fans was Joe's dry birthday greeting to Sofia on his Instagram account. He congratulated her with a short "¡¡¡Feliz Cumpleaños Sofía!!!" in Spanish. Followers wondered, where is the 'dear wife'?

Their home is already for sale

'People' claims that the couple has already put their Beverly Hills mansion up for sale. It is made up of seven bedrooms and eleven bathrooms. The mansion is for sale for 18 million dollars.

This is how insiders explain the split

"They definitely love and respect each other, but once that initial passion dies and other areas get in the way, then the small differences get bigger," sources close to the couple told 'People'.

No more spark

According to the information, Sofía Vergara (51) and Joe Manganiello (46) experienced an initial crush that kept them together, in love and passionate for several years. However, over time that flame has gone out.

Flames burning for quite some time

"A passionate and encompassing romance, which kept the flames burning for quite some time," 'People' concludes.

They had "a magical glow"

According to Stylecaster, a source close to the couple stated that they had "never seen two people so in love, so passionate and so happy. They were always, laughing, lovey-dovey and really happy. There was a magical glow above their heads. They are both real people and down to earth"

.

"They definitely love and respect each other"

"They definitely love and respect each other but once that initial passion dies down and other areas get in the way, then little differences get bigger," the source continued.

They had differences

Supposedly, the differences in their vision of the future were a cause of problems between them. "They had differences about how their lives should move forward and that caused stress," sources revealed to 'People.'

Opposites attract...

Friends of the Colombian actress point out that 'Toty,' as family and friends call her, "is a smart and hardworking girl who thinks of everything that could go wrong before it actually does." Joe Manganiello, on the other hand, "is pretty low-key".

...but then they fall apart

During the first years of their relationship, these differences were an asset. However, in recent years their personalities clashed. "They are focused on different things in their lives," sources told People.
