- It's over for Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello.
The pair is reportedly ending their marriage
after tying the knot more than seven years ago.
They confirmed the news to "Page Six"
on Monday, sharing that they have, quote,
"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," the statement read.
"Access Hollywood" has reached out to Sofia and Joe's
respective reps for comment.
A source told "Page Six" that the pair has, quote,
"been growing apart for a while now
and are taking some distance from each other
to contemplate their Futures.
The "America's Got Talent" judge and the "Magic Mike" alum
were reportedly last spotted together
in June when Sofia visited Joe on the New
Jersey set of "Nona's," his new project with Vince Vaughn.
Both stars have yet to address their status on social media.
But Sofia is currently vacationing
on the coast of Italy.
Back in March, 2021, "Access Hollywood" spoke to Joe.
And he dished on his romantic proposal to Sofia.
- What do you remember most about proposing to Sofia?
JOE MANGANIELLO: Well, it was on Christmas eve.
And I took her to Kauai, the island of Kauai.
And I proposed while the sun was going
down over this-- over the bay.
And I had rented this beautiful hotel room overlooking the bay.
And I had a whole speech prepared in Spanish.
So I had a big like--
I mean, it was like a monologue in Spanish that I had.
And she was really surprised.
She had no idea I was--
that it was coming.
So she made me repeat the speech in Spanish
because she couldn't even--
she didn't even hear it.
Yes, oh, my god, you know?
But yeah, no, I mean, that's such a huge moment in a man's
life when you propose.
It's like a big--
it's a big thing, you know?
And you make that special.
And the planning of it and how you're going to do it,
where you're going to do it, it's
such a such an exciting part of life.
- Yeah.
You said it's the best decision of your life.
And look at Sofia, we all agree.
And we don't even have to know.
When you first started dating though,
she said she was unsure because you were too young.
You were an actor.
What did it take for her to finally come around?
Were you just-- consistency is key?
JOE MANGANIELLO: She says that.
But--
- You're like, lie!
JOE MANGANIELLO: I mean, look, yeah, no, I mean,
those might have been the things that she thought
would have kept her from it.
But no.
I mean, right out of the gate, it was like,
this is going to work.
And I think we both knew that.
We were having fun.
