Vergara and Manganiello's Love Story Ends: Future of Beloved Pet Bubbles Uncertain
In a surprising development, Hollywood power couple Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello have ended their seven-year marriage, leaving fans speculating on the fate of their cherished pet dog, Bubbles.
The 51-year-old "Modern Family" star, Vergara, and the 46-year-old "Magic Mike" actor, Manganiello, had been a formidable presence in Hollywood since their 2015 marriage. However, a source close to the couple revealed they've been "focusing on personal interests, their careers, and their loved ones" in recent times, an indication of the rift growing between them.
"Sofía has been pouring her energy into her burgeoning beauty brand, a project she is deeply passionate about," the insider shared. The noticeable absence of Manganiello at the brand's launch event hosted by Vergara at her Los Angeles residence late June, added fuel to the fire of the couple's speculated split. While the pair's pictures still adorned the house, the absence of Manganiello was a statement in itself.
Fan suspicions were further aroused when the duo last appeared together publicly at a March red carpet event. Manganiello's rather perfunctory birthday message for Vergara on July 10th -- simply wishing "Feliz Cumpleaños [Happy Birthday] Sofía!!!" -- stood in stark contrast to his previous effusive birthday wishes, raising alarm among their followers.
One worried fan commented, "Joe, I hope you guys are okay, that was a very different (cold) happy birthday wish to your wife, compared to previous ones!" Others noted Manganiello's lack of interaction on Vergara's recent posts, leading to increased speculation about their relationship status.
Vergara was also spotted without her wedding ring earlier this month, further fueling rumors of their marital discord. However, amid the conjectures about the split, fans are also concerned about the future of their pet dog, Bubbles.
The source concluded, "There is no word on who will get custody of Bubbles." With the couple's separation now public, the question of Bubbles' future remains one of the many loose threads in this chapter of their lives.
