Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello continue to move forward in their lives. Manganiello, 46, was seen without his wedding ring for the first time since he filed for divorce from Vergara, 51, last month. He was seen running errands in Los Angeles while carrying their dog, Bubbles. Meanwhile, Vergara attended her sister Veronica's birthday celebration at Delilah in West Hollywood later in the day.
Vergara, wearing a form-fitting light blue dress, shared a photo from the dinner table with her niece Claudia and friend Margarita Heilbron. She captioned the post with three pink heart emojis.
On July 17, news broke that Vergara and Manganiello have decided to end their marriage after seven years. They released a joint statement saying, "We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two individuals who deeply love and care for each other, we kindly request privacy as we navigate this new chapter in our lives."
We have confirmed that both Vergara and Manganiello are now sharing custody of Bubbles. Just one day after the pup accompanied Manganiello on Saturday, Vergara shared a photo of Bubbles at her home on Sunday, August 13th.
Sofia and Manganiello announced their breakup, and according to an insider, they still need to resolve some issues, such as the custody of their dog, Bubbles. However, Sofia remains hopeful that they can handle it in a peaceful and equitable manner. Both parties are reportedly relieved to have announced their separation.
“Joe and Sofia’s friends express sadness over their inability to make their relationship work, but everyone concurs that this outcome was ultimately the most favorable,” revealed the insider.
According to another informant, the couple were leading separate lives before ultimately deciding to end their romantic connection.

"There was no cheating involved or any similar incidents. It became apparent to both of them that they rarely shared the same interests and desires," the insider revealed. "While she preferred socializing with friends, he preferred staying at home, resulting in very little quality time spent together. They have been leading separate lives for approximately a year now, which led them to the decision to end their relationship."
According to a third source, there appears to be a discrepancy in their readiness to pursue new romantic relationships.
Sofia's friends have shown their support and expect her to be ready to start dating again soon, according to an insider. However, Joe is not interested in entering a new relationship in the near future.
