Joe Manganiello and his wife of seven years, Sofia Vergara, are getting a divorce. Despite some obvious clues, the news is still a shocker for many supporters of the power couple.
Now, fans are trying to understand what led the power couple to splitsville. Different narratives are finding their way to the press, and one thing is now clear: there is no turning back for the famous exes.
Joe Manganiello files for divorce officially
The 46-year-old Magic Mike XXL actor seems eager to move forward with his life. He has hired a top divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, and she is the one who filed on his behalf.
The filing cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce. Moreover, the same documents say that a prenup will ensure that the two parties keep their assets.
By all accounts, things will go smoothly because Vergara does not plan to contest anything. Manganiello has a net worth of $45 million. However, for his soon-to-be ex-wife, the number is closer to $190 million.
The two actors do not have any children together. This element should facilitate the process even more. It appears that the actor wanted things to be different.
Sofia Vergara did not want children with Manganiello
Insiders say that children were a big factor in the divorce. The 51-year-old Modern Family actress did not want to have children, and this decision reportedly affected the marriage.
Vergara is already the mother of 31-year-old Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, from her marriage to Joe Gonzalez.
Manganiello, who does not have children as yet, is really hoping to change that soon. Moreover, sources say that he is not looking back and hopes to fall in love again in the near future.
Some fans wonder why the subject of children only became a dealbreaker after all these years of marriage. Others say that surrogacy could have been an option if the two parties were willing to make it work.
A few sources say personality differences drove the two Hollywood stars apart more than children.
