According to TMZ, the actor filed the paperwork last Wednesday night.

The official date of separation was listed as July 2, 2023.

The court documents list the reason for the divorce as irreconcilable differences.

A prenuptial agreement has also emerged due to the recent filing.

Each party will be able to keep all of the assets they’ve acquired throughout their relationship.

This means the AGT judge’s $180 million net worth will not dwindle.

They have no children, so there will be no need for a custody agreement.

Some sources said children could be the reason for the divorce because Joe wants a child, but Sofia is opposed to being a mother.

Each party is responsible for paying their respective lawyer fees.

MORE MARITAL ISSUES

Sofia’s love of partying was reportedly one of the factors in her split with Joe, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed.

The True Blood hunk would often stay away from his wife when she went out in Los Angeles, California, for parties or had friends over for “cocktail nights” at their mansion.

Joe, who battled alcohol addiction in his early 20s, “found it challenging to be surrounded by potential temptation.”

Sofia and Joe have experienced a “tricky past couple of years” in their marriage, which “saw them start to drift apart during the COVID pandemic.”

Business associates of Vergara say that she has “effectively been living like a single woman for the last few months.”

The source said: “Sofia and Joe had a good run and managed to last longer than some within her friend circle suspected. One factor was absolutely their differing take on partying and enjoying a cocktail.

“Sofia really enjoys cocktails and drinks with girlfriends. It is one of the way she lets her hair down. She has always been like that. She goes out to meet up with people at their homes and also host little soirees at her place. For Joe, that has become increasingly tough in recent years.

“He really worried that drinking alcohol again could send him spiraling, so he would always steer clear of temptation.

“Certainly in the past couple of years, she would be out alone as Joe just wanted to avoid issues. It was tough for him. Everyone was very understanding, but he encouraged Sofia to live her life and be happy.

“People around Sofia noted that they were increasingly not together and she was on her own a lot.”

SEE YA, JOE

Joe is set to leave their bougie Hollywood lifestyle behind now they are divorcing, a pal has told The U.S. Sun.

A family friend tells The U.S. Sun that one of the issues which led the couple to drift apart was their very different lifestyle aspirations. 

The insider revealed: “I don’t think Joe was ever really comfortable in a giant Los Angeles mansion or on the beaches of Saint Tropez. 

“He saw that stuff for what it was and only let it into his life because it made Sofia happy. 

“No way is Joe staying in Beverly Hills now that he’s out of this marriage, and I would not be shocked if he found some modest small town to settle down in. 

“He misses the backyard barbecues and friend group he had in the early days of his career, and he tried to recreate that vibe during this marriage, without much success.”

For the last few years, Vergara and Manganiello have been living at a $26m mansion in the ultra-exclusive celebrity enclave of Beverly Park. 

It is a far cry from Manganiello’s middle-class upbringing in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, alongside his younger brother Nick.
