“He has been Threatened by her success”: Insider Spills Secrets Behind Sofia Vergara’s Failed Marriage With Joe Manganiello
Colombian and American actress Sofia Vergara is known for her role in the ABC comedy series, Modern Family. She played the role of Gloria Delgado-Pritchett in the series for 11 seasons from 2009 to 2020. The role garnered her four nominations each of both Golden Globe Awards and Primetime Emmy Awards.
Besides her acting career, over the years, Vergara has invested in several business ventures such as a furniture line that she launched in 2013 in partnership with Rooms to Go, and three products in partnership with Walmart. Her divorce from DC star Joe Manganiello, whom she married in 2015, has been recently making headlines.

Initially, she didn’t want to get into a relationship with him, but Manganiello won her over eventually. The couple got married in November 2015 in a lavish wedding in Palm Beach in Florida. Despite having what seemed like a happy married life, the duo announced their divorce on July 17, 2023.
Sofia Vergara’s Split Was Announced Recently
Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello released a joint statement announcing their split. The statement noted: “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.”
Two days after the announcement, Manganiello took the first legal step and filed for divorce from Vergara citing “irreconcilable differences”. The court documents indicated the couple’s date of separation as July 2, 2023, and also that the twosome had signed a prenuptial agreement before exchanging vows in 2015.
Sofia Vergara’s Success Might Have Been a Threat
A source close to the couple revealed that the duo had been living apart for months before announcing their separation. Both Vergara and Manganiello have been surrounded by their inner circles. While the The Three Stooges actress’ friends won’t be surprised if she began dating soon, Manganiello doesn’t appear nearly as eager to start a new relationship.
There have been a lot of speculations about the cause of the split. An insider close to Vergara has recently told US Weekly:
“Sofia’s living her best life. She’s spending time with her friends after being stifled in a relationship with a largely 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.”
Another insider has said that the duo was not on the same page about having a baby, and this created a rift between them. While there could be many reasons why the couple decided to separate, none of them would hold any importance unless Vergara and Manganiello address the matter themselves.
