Last July, we were all shocked when Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello announced they are getting divorced. And we wondered what went wrong.
The actress opened up to El Pais and told them why they decided to end their marriage after eight years.
“I’m newly divorced from my second husband [actor Joe Manganiello], who I was with for 10 years,” the actress said. “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore. I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things. When my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I’ll give it back to him and go on with my life; that’s what I have to do.”
That was the long-suspected reason, and now we know it is true. Too bad it couldn’t work out for them.
Imagine being on a remote island with Joe Manganiello and the chance to go home with him and a lot of money. Would that be a deal or no deal?
If you said it is a deal, then you can be a contestant on Deal or No Deal Island.
Thirteen contestants will be flown to an island, and they will compete for the largest prize in the game show’s history. Along with playing the classic game, they will also take part in challenges and mind-bending dilemmas. Manganiello and the Banker will guide them as they make the toughest decisions of their lives.
The iconic briefcases are back and are hidden on the island (sounds like we won’t get the next Meghan Markle) with millions in prize money split between them. In each episode, players vie to get their hands on the highest-value briefcase for a chance to gain immunity and choose a fellow player to enter “The Temple,” where they must play a high-stakes game of Deal or No Deal. The devious Banker is always watching and will raise the stakes with tests of strategy and greed. And at the end of the season, only one person will be left standing for the biggest deal, or maybe no deal…
Now, let’s talk about how awkward things must be for Howie Mandel. He works with Sofia Vergara on America’s Got Talent and produces her estranged husband on this show. Yikes. I am sure this was all in the works before the estranged couple filed for divorce, but still.
Ever since it was revealed that Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara are getting a divorce, I wanted to know who was going to get custody of the estranged couple’s dog.
I believe that she should go to the Magic Mike star because he carries Bubbles with him everywhere. It is pure puppy love between the two.
Today, we got the answer. Daily Mail is reporting that the Modern Family star is letting her soon-to-be ex-husband keep the chihuahua.
A source told the paper, “Not in a million years would Joe part ways with his dog Bubbles and Sofia is well aware of this. Joe said Sofia was gracious about him keeping Bubbles after their breakup.
“Neither one of them is bitter or out for revenge, and Sofia loves Bubbles and wants her to be happy which is precisely why she’s letting Joe have custody.”
Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s marriage did not survive the seven-year.
The estranged couple told Page Six, “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.”
There was some speculation that their marriage might be over because the America’s Got Talent judge was seen celebrating her 51st birthday overseas without him. Today, they confirmed it.
The two met at 2014’s White House Correspondent’s dinner, started dating a few months later, got engaged at the end of that year, and walked down the aisle 11 months later.
