Sofía Vergara Has Girls’ Night Out to Celebrate Sister’s Birthday amid Joe Manganiello Divorce

Vergara’s return to work comes a few weeks after sources confirmed to PEOPLE that she and Manganiello, 46, were divorcing after seven years of marriage.

“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the couple shared in a statement to Page Six in July. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

Manganiello officially filed for divorce two days after the breakup was announced. Per docs obtained by PEOPLE, he cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and listed their date of separation as July 2. He also noted the pair had a prenup.

However, in separate court docs obtained by PEOPLE, Vergara requested in her filing that the court uphold the former couple’s prenup. She also requested the court confirms that certain assets should remain hers, including jewelry, artwork and “other personal effects.” She claimed her earnings from before and during their marriage as her assets as well.

Another insider said the former couple had their “ups and downs for a long time,” but they “always put on a good front publicly.”
