Sofia Vergara hands over her dog to ex Joe Manganiello amid divorce

Sofia Vergara has no intention to fight with her ex-husband Joe Manganiello over the custody of her dog, who was more attached with the former. 

An insider spilt to Daily Mail, the America's Got Talent judge just wanted her 10-year-old Chihuahua-Pomerainian mix, Bubbles, to be happy. 

The source said that The Modern Family alum loves Bubbles, and would not keep him from Manganiello as she is closer to him than her.

“Not in a million years would Joe part ways with his dog Bubbles and Sofía is well aware of this,” the insider said of the couple, who recently announced their separation.

“Neither one of them is bitter or out for revenge, and Sofía loves Bubbles and wants her to be happy which is precisely why she’s letting Joe have custody,” the insider added.

Dubbing the actor “gracious,” the insider said, “[Manganiello] said Sofía has the biggest heart and would never do anything to intentionally hurt him or Bubbles.”

Speaking on the The Tonight Show back in 2021, Vergara revealed how her dog chose her then-husband over her, saying, “She hates me. She was supposed to be for me. She was supposed to be my dog.”

“She arrived to the house and I don’t know, she thought she was for Joe and that’s all she wants to do,” Vegara added.

“It’s horrific, she hates me. She’s super mean to me. She bites me! She’s not that cute in person,” she jokingly shared.

Vergara and Manganiello shocked their fans when they announced their separation and requested fans to give them privacy.

"We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” they said in a joint statement to Page Six.

“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.”
