Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara are calling it quits after seven years of marriage. While their split comes as a surprise to many fans, their divorce may be simple, thanks to a prenuptial agreement they signed before their wedding.
"We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the couple shared in a statement to Page Six earlier this month. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
Joe was the one to file for divorce this month, citing irreconcilable differences. Court document reveals that he’s asking the court for their debts and assets to be divided “based on the terms of the parties’ Prenuptial Agreement.”
The documents also asked for spousal support to be determine as per the prenup.
Sofia has a reported net worth of $180 million. She’s made her fortune thanks to her acting roles, such as on the hit show Modern Family, as well as founding her own entertainment company, Latin World Entertainment, in addition to clothing, skincare, and fragrance collections.
For his part, Joe is worth an estimated $40 million and is known for roles in Magic Mike and True Blood.
Joe and Sofia reportedly sign a “$100 million iron-clad prenup” before marrying in 2014, Daily Mail reports. If this holds true, they’ll likely walk out of the marriage with most of the individual assets they came in with.
The former couple already put their 7-bedroom home up for sale two months ago for $19.6 million. Sofia originally bought the property in 2014 for $10.6 million.
According to various reports, Joe and Sofia split over his desire to have children. Sofia already has a 31-year old son from a previous relationship, and apparently doesn’t want to have any more children with her current husband.
“Sofía and Joe have been growing apart for a while now and are taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future,” one source told Page Six .
“They have been spending time apart and focusing on themselves, their careers, and their loved ones. Sofia has been giving her all to her new beauty brand, toty, and is very involved and excited about it,” a different source told Entertainment Tonight, confirming the pair have been leading separate lives for a while.
