Manganiello enjoyed fun activities like playing video games and reading comic books, while Vergara leaned more towards a glamorous lifestyle, embracing fancy dinners and luxurious trips.

Sofía revealed the primary cause behind their divorce.

In a recent interview, Sofía honestly shared that their varied desires and priorities played a role in the decision to divorce. “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore,” she revealed.
