"Sofía and Joe have been growing apart for a while now and are taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future," said a source to the media outlet.
Through a statement, the “Modern Family” star and Manganiello asked that their privacy be respected in this "new phase of [their] life. … We have made the difficult decision to divorce.
