Former Modern Family star Sofia Vergara is presently in Italy to celebrate her 51st birthday, and while there, she has been open and honest about the difficulties of aging.
Sofia Vergara celebrated her 51st birthday with her “best friends” in Italy, and while there she shаrеd a photo to Instagram that included the water as a backdrop and her makeup-free, picture-perfect face as the caption.
The former CoverGirl posted a series of Instagram photos during her birthday trip to Italy.
She lights firecrackers as candles, goes out to brunch with friends, and then gets serenaded at an exclusive restaurant to celebrate her birthday.
Her supporters were disappointed that her husband, Joe Manganiello, was noticeably absent from the celebrations.
But now reliable sources confirm what we suspected all along…
If you want to know what happened, keep reading down below.
Page Six has learned exclusively that Sofia Vergara and husband Joe Manganiello are splitting after seven years of marriage.
The couple told Page Six in a statement: “We have 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 “Modern Family” beauty is currently celebrating her 51st birthday in Italy with a posse of friends — but with no Manganiello or her wedding ring.
A source added: “Sofía and Joe have been growing apart for a while now and are taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future.”
Vergara paid Manganiello, 46, a visit on the set of his new film “Nonnas” starring Vince Vaughn last month in Hoboken, New Jersey.
The judge from NBC’s famous show “America’s Got Talent,” Vergara, is currently in Capri with her closest girlfriends and uploading sensual photographs on Instagram.
Fans on Instagram have noted Manganiello’s absence, and Sofia Vergara addressed it in an Instagram post with the caption, “When life gives u lemons u come to Italy to squeeze them.”
One wrote, “Is anyone else wondering where’s Joe?” while another said, “Wondering where her husband is, he hasn’t shown up in any of the photos of videos.”
Similarly controversial was an Instagram post by Manganiello wishing his wife a happy birthday with the simple message “!!Feliz Cumpleaos Sofa!!!” In Spanish: Feliz Cumpleaos a Sofia!
Another source told us: “At the start of Sofia’s big birthday trip those close to her were explaining away Joe’s absence with the excuse that he was busy filming back on the East Coast; that excuse barely held up due to the writers strike, but once the actor’s strike took effect, he could have been on the first flight… and he quite clearly is not.
“So now no one out there with her is even attempting to pretend that it’s not over. It’s over. It’s done.”
Vergara’s “Modern Family” co-stars Ariel Winter, Ed O’Neill, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, and Ty Burrell were in attendance, as were Manganiello’s “True Blood” co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. The wedding took place in Palm Beach, Florida, in November 2015.
Channing Tatum and Reese Witherspoon were also there.
Vergara, who has a son named Manolo, 31, with her first husband Joe Gonzalez, met Manganiello at a White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in 2014, when she was engaged to businessman Nick Loeb, through the actress’ former co-star Ferguson.
When the actress’s relationship with Loeb ended, Manganiello immediately texted her for her number.
Star of “Magic Mike XXL” said in 2020 issue of People magazine, “I knew fairly soon that I could trust her, and she knew pretty quickly that she could trust me. We are both selfless individuals who are able to prioritize the needs of our partner above our own.
He thrived on the fringes of society, scavenging for meals in dumpsters, but somehow he rose to fame as a legendary actor and became a father to four children
Michael J. Fox has faced significant challenges in recent years, particularly due to his long-standing battle with Parkinson’s disease. This struggle has not become easier with time, but his story remains one of remarkable resilience.
Born on June 9, 1961, in Edmonton, Canada, Michael’s childhood was marked by frequent relocations due to his father’s service in the Canadian Armed Forces. His mother worked as a payroll clerk, providing stability in their blue-collar home. Eventually, the family settled in Burnaby, British Columbia, where Michael discovered his love for acting during junior high. He joined the drama division at school and quickly showcased his talent, landing a role in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation series Leo & Me, thanks to encouragement from his theater teacher.
Determined to pursue acting, Fox moved to Los Angeles at 17, dropping out of high school. With support from his family, especially his father, who drove him to California, Michael was committed to making his dreams a reality. He later reflected on his decision, acknowledging that he came from humble beginnings: “I was living on the margins… dumpster diving for food”, he recalled in a 2023 interview.
His breakthrough came with the role of Alex P. Keaton in the hit sitcom Family Ties, followed by his iconic portrayal of Marty McFly in Back to the Future. Interestingly, Michael’s mother initially opposed his involvement in Back to the Future, worried about his demanding schedule. Yet, he went on to succeed, even if it meant enduring exhaustion.
During his time on Family Ties, he met Tracy Pollan, who played his love interest on the show. Although they didn’t start dating immediately, they eventually fell in love and married in 1988, welcoming four children together: Sam, Schuyler, Aquinnah, and Esmé.
Michael originally didn’t have the “J” in his name. When he learned there was another actor named Michael Fox in the Screen Actors Guild, he added the initial as a tribute to his favorite actor, Michael J. Pollard.
After a successful career, Michael retired from acting in 2020, stating that his struggle with speech made it difficult to perform. Following his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, he initially turned to alcohol but eventually sought help and publicly disclosed his condition in 1998. Since then, he has become an advocate for Parkinson’s research, founding the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which has raised over $750 million for the cause.
Michael J. Fox’s life is a testament to perseverance. Despite the obstacles he faced, he has become a beloved figure in Hollywood and an inspiration to many. His journey exemplifies the power of determination and passion, reminding us all of what can be achieved against the odds. Let’s celebrate not only his remarkable talents but also the inspiring story he continues to share with the world.
