In the middle of last July, the separation of Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello was publicly announced after more than seven years of marriage. The news shocked the millions of fans that the actor couple had around the world, since it seemed that they had a strong sentimental bond and that things between them were fine.
The already ex-partner communicated their breakup to the Page Six portal and assured that it had been a "very difficult decision to make." ''As two people who love and care very much, we politely ask that our privacy be respected at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives,'' they wrote in the text they sent to the outlet. Despite the fact that the news caught the vast majority of his followers by surprise, some suspected something due to the actor's concise congratulations to Vergara on his birthday and the recent sale of the mansion where they lived.
Shortly after the release of the common statement in which they announced that they were taking different paths, it was discovered that it was Manganiello who filed for divorce before the judge. Since then, there has been clear concern about the divorce proceedings, since the actor's lawyer is Laura Wasser, known in Los Angeles for having obtained good agreements for stars like Nicole Kidman or Angelina Jolie in their respective judicial processes.
In this specific case, Vergara is holding on tooth and nail to the prenuptial agreement that she signed with her husband and life partner for seven years, although the situation is somewhat tense between them.
According to the American medium New York Post, there is a famous artist who would be interested in having something more than a friendship with the Modern Family actress now that she is single. It is neither more nor less than Tom Cruise, an actor known for his leading roles in films such as Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut or Top Gun: Maverick.
As the United States medium points out, the 61-year-old actor, winner of three Golden Globe awards, would be interested in having a relationship with the Colombian star with whom he already had something in the past.
Vergara and Cruise had a more than brief 'love story' in early 2005, just before Cruise began a romantic relationship with Katie Holmes. Although they were just outings together, the paparazzi caught them having a romantic date.
According to a source close to the actor's entourage told the British magazine Heat, the actors shared some very fun months, but they never formalized their relationship: "They spent a special time together celebrating in the Hollywood Hills." The same source explained that Vergara did not seem convinced that she had something more with the actor and that the thing ended in a beautiful friendship. According to Andrew Morton, the writer of Cruise's unauthorized biography, in the book about the artist's life, Vergara was terrified of Scientology, the religion professed by the protagonist of Minotity Report, for which reason he did not see it as viable to have a relationship with he.
