Now it’s official: Joe Mangianello has filed for divorce from Sofía Vergara. The day of separation is dated July 2nd.
Two days after the separation was announced, Joe Manganiello (46) officially filed for divorce from Sofía Vergara (51). As reported, the actor gave “irreconcilable differences” as the reason. The day of separation was therefore July 2nd.
Laura Wasser represents him
The “Magic Mike” actor has hired star lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented many Hollywood celebrities in divorce cases. She is known for insisting on the validity of prenuptial agreements. However, a war of roses is not to be expected: the ex-couple concluded a marriage contract before the wedding, which both are said to want to stick to. After that, everyone keeps their assets, and they share the legal fees for the divorce. Since they have no children together, there is no dispute about maintenance and custody.
Nevertheless, the topic of offspring is said to have played a major role in the relationship. The actors are said to have had divided opinions on family planning. “He really wanted to have a baby with her but she wasn’t interested and a rift ensued,” a source told People. The ‘Modern Family’ actress has an adult son, Manolo, 31, from first husband Joe Gonzalez, to whom she was married from 1991 to 1993. Mangianello, on the other hand, has no children.
After seven years of marriage, they announced their separation
On Monday (July 17), the couple announced their intention to divorce. In a statement, Vergara and Manganiello said: “We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” quoted the celebrity portal “Page Six”. “As two people who deeply love and care for one another, we politely ask for respect for our privacy as we navigate this new phase in our lives.” The couple married in November 2015. Attorney Laura Wasser filed the divorce documents late Wednesday evening (July 19).
