Colombian-American actor Sofia Vergara and American actor Joe Manganiello have finally agreed to finalize their divorce. According to a file, acquired by People magazine on Friday, the divorce case is being handled as an uncontested action, which means both parties appeared and entered into a written agreement regarding their property and marriage, which is being or has been submitted to the court.<\/p>\n
Manganiello sought the court to terminate spousal support for both parties and legal fees will be ordered by the proposed decision, according to the documents. They announced their breakup in July in a joint statement with Page Six. The former couple married in November 2015 at the Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida, and had been together for seven years before they announced their split.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have made the difficult decision to divorce,\u201d the now-exes said. \u201cAs 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.\u201d Two days after the joint statement, Manganiello filed for divorce from America\u2019s Got Talent presenter, alleging irreconcilable differences. He cited the date of separation as July 2 and mentioned that they had a prenup.<\/p>\n
Vergara later requested in a second motion that the court uphold the former couple\u2019s prenuptial agreement. In January, Vergara told Spanish newspaper El Pais that she and Manganiello disagreed on increasing their family, which led to their divorce. \u201cMy marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn\u2019t want to be an old mom,\u201d the \u2018Griselda\u2019 actor explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel it\u2019s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that\u2019s not for me anymore.\u201d Vergara, who shares son Manolo with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez, continued, \u201cI had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I\u2019m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m almost in menopause; it\u2019s the natural way of things,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I\u2019ll give it back to him and go on with my life; that\u2019s what I have to do.\u201d In the time since then, the pair have each moved on. Manganiello has been dating actor Caitlin O\u2019Connor, while the \u2018Modern Family\u2019 alum has been caught on several occasions with orthopaedic physician Justin Saliman in recent months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
