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.
As a child, she faced relentless teasing and was often labeled “chubby”
Jennifer Aniston’s remarkable success might suggest she had a perfect childhood, but her early life was far from ideal. The 54-year-old actress, daughter of John Aniston, known for his role on Days of Our Lives, faced her share of challenges. Reflecting on her past, Aniston has spoken about her difficult relationship with her late mother, acknowledging the importance of releasing “toxic” anger. She expressed gratitude for her mother’s lessons, stating: “Thank you for showing me what never to be”.
Aniston recalled her mother’s harsh comments about her appearance, which contributed to her insecurities. “She often told me to take better care of myself”, Aniston reflected, noting that her mother’s critical nature stemmed from her own beauty and modeling background.
Born on February 11, 1969, to John and Nancy Dow, Aniston experienced her parents’ divorce at age nine, which deeply affected her mother. Aniston shared that while she was eager to leave their troubled home in New York City, the instability taught her resilience. In a 2020 interview with Sandra Bullock, she revealed how witnessing unkindness between adults motivated her to choose a different path.
Despite her challenges, Aniston faced bullying as a child, feeling singled out for being “chubby”. She acknowledged that she had to work through old wounds from her youth, saying: “I’ve done a lot of personal work to heal”.
Her relationship with her mother was tumultuous, especially after her mom released a tell-all book in 1999, leading to years of estrangement. Aniston was hurt that her privacy was compromised and chose not to invite her mother to her wedding to Brad Pitt. They eventually reconciled, but they hadn’t seen each other for years before Dow’s passing in 2016.
Conversely, Aniston’s bond with her father improved once she pursued acting. He initially worried for her, but they later connected over their shared profession.
Beyond acting, Aniston is one of Hollywood’s highest-paid stars, with numerous accolades including a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe. She also runs a haircare line, LolaVie, and founded a production company, Echo Films, responsible for several successful projects.
Following her father’s death in 2022, Aniston shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, honoring his legacy. She found peace with her past, stating: “I forgave my mom. I forgave my father. It’s toxic to hold onto resentment”. Aniston’s journey highlights the importance of confronting one’s history and finding healing through forgiveness.
Her story is a reminder that even those in the spotlight can face significant challenges, and it’s inspiring to see how she has turned her experiences into personal growth. What are your thoughts on her journey?
