A source had previously revealed that in light of the couple’s divorce, the Modern Family actress, 51, and Manganiello had different personal interests and ideas of fame.

The source said the pair “differ immensely in style and what they like to do, although during the marriage, each tried to put the other’s interests ahead of their own to make it work.”

This comes after news broke earlier this week that Vergara and Manganiello had gone their separate ways after seven years of marriage.
