Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello's split is not a surprise for people close to them as the duo has been living different lives for quite some time now.
Speaking to Us Weekly, an insider said that The Modern Family star and the Magic Mike actor realized they were “rarely on the page" and decided to call it quits.
The insider described Vergara as someone who is very “social” while Manganiello is said to be “more of a homebody” and like to spend time at home.
“Joe and Sofia split because they were living different lives,” the insider said. “There wasn’t cheating or anything like that. They both realized that they were rarely on the same page.”
“She would rather go out with friends and he would rather stay home, so they wouldn’t spend a lot of time together,” the source added. “They’ve been living separate lives for about a year now, so it was time to call things off.”
The former lovers revealed they have parted ways after seven years of marriage while requesting fans to respect their privacy.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” they said in a joint statement. “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.”
Just two days after their split announcement, Manganiello filed divorce papers citing the reason of their breakup “irreconcilable differences.”
