AceShowbiz - Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are close to being legally single. Six months after they decided to part ways, the "Modern Family" star and the "Magic Mike" actor amicably settled their divorce.
According to new docs obtained by TMZ, the exes will each get to keep the assets they accumulated individually throughout their seven-year marriage since they wed with a prenup. They will not pay spousal support as both of them waived any right to alimony.
Sofia and Joe announced their divorce via a joint statement in July 2023. They said at the time, "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 for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives."
Recently, the "Griselda" actress confirmed that her relationship with Joe broke down as he wanted to have kids and she didn't. "Well, I'm newly divorced from my second husband [actor Joe Manganiello], who I was with for 10 years. 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," she told El Pais in January.
Stressing that it's not a shade to other women who become mothers in their later years, Sofia added, "I respect whoever does it, but that's not for me anymore." She divulged, "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," she went on reasoning. "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."
Joe has been dating actress Caitlin O'Connor, who is 13 years his junior, since last year. Sofia, for her part, has been spotted on dates with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman.
