Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello Announce Plans to Divorce

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello have announced that they are divorcing after nearly eight years of marriage.

The couple released a statement to PageSix on Monday, saying, "We have made the difficult decision to divorce."

"As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for the respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives," their statement read.

Vergara and Manganiello were married in a lavish Palm Beach wedding in 2015. They have no children together.

The couple first met in 2014 and became engaged after dating for six months. They were one of Hollywood's most popular couples, and their relationship was often featured in the media.

Manganiello most recently posted a photo with Vergara earlier this month to wish her a happy birthday. Vergara last shared a throwback photo with Manganiello in June from a previous Italian vacation, but the "Magic Mike" star has been noticeably absent from photos that Vergara shared in recent days from her vacation in Italy to celebrate her birthday.

The reasons for the divorce are not yet known. However, Vergara and Manganiello have been open about their busy schedules in the past. Vergara is one of the most popular actresses on television, and Manganiello has a successful career in film and television.

It is possible that the couple's busy schedules contributed to the breakdown of their marriage. However, it is also possible that there were other factors involved.

Whatever the reasons for the divorce, it is clear that Vergara and Manganiello are going through a difficult time. Their fans are sending them their support, and we wish them all the best in the future.
