After seven years of marriage, Sofia Vergara divorced her husband, Joe Manganiello, Page Six reports.

Vergara and Manganiello have announced their decision to divorce. In a statement, the couple expressed their love and care for each other but requested privacy as they navigate this new phase of their lives.

Currently celebrating her 51st birthday in Italy with a group of friends, Sofia Vergara is not accompanied by Manganiello or wearing her wedding ring.

The couple has been growing apart for some time and is taking a step back to reflect on their future, according to a source.

Their last public appearance together was in Hoboken, N.J., last month, where Vergara visited Manganiello on the set of his new project, "Nonnas," alongside Vince Vaughn.

Vergara later posted a photo with the message, "When life gives u lemons, u come to Italy to squeeze them."

Joe Manganiello's Birthday Tribute to Sofia Vergara Divides Fans

Amid the Sofia Vergara divorce reports, Joe Manganiello's recent Instagram post for her birthday sparked divided reactions among fans, with some perceiving it as "awkward and cold," according to the Independent.

The "True Blood" star shared a pixelated and blurry throwback photo of himself and Vergara, which appeared to be the same one she had posted in December 2021 for Manganiello's birthday.

However, it was the brief caption, "Feliz Cumpleaños Sofía!" (Happy Birthday, Sofia!), which upset some fans who expected a more affectionate and loving tribute to the couple's seven-year marriage.

Critics expressed disappointment at the alleged lack of emotion in Manganiello's post, suggesting he should have used endearing terms like "my love" or "my beloved wife."

However, defenders argued that the post's simplicity should not be taken as an indication of a troubled relationship.

Some fans appreciated that Manganiello wrote the message in Spanish, considering Vergara's Colombian background.

A few supporters also reminded others that social media posts do not always reflect the true dynamics of a relationship, emphasizing the need to avoid drawing conclusions based solely on public tributes.
