Vergara and Manganiello, aged 46, grabbed attention on Monday, July 17, as they revealed their “challenging choice” to separate. Their joint statement conveyed, "As individuals who deeply love and cherish each other, we kindly request privacy as we embark on this new chapter of our lives."
Following their introduction by Vergara's former Modern Family co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, the now-separated duo began dating in 2014. Within a year, Vergara and Manganiello tied the knot.

Manganiello later shared his insight into how he recognized that Vergara was his soulmate. In an interview with Hola! USA magazine in 2017, he explained, "We quickly understood that prioritizing the happiness and well-being of the other person was crucial. Once this level of trust was established, we held on tightly. In my case, it led me to purchase an engagement ring."
Meanwhile, Gravy previously raised eyebrows with his brief relationship with Sheri Easterling, mother of Addison Rae. The couple made a public appearance together at the MTV Video Music Awards in August 2022, displaying affection for each other.
Gravy explained during a red carpet interview that he was attracted to MILFs, and saw his date as the ultimate MILF. He then proceeded to engage in a passionate kiss with her in front of the cameras.
Reflecting on his first encounter with Easterling, who is 43 years old, Gravy recalled expressing his interest through social media. He enthusiastically shared, "We met online and instantly clicked. It's interesting how I come from the most northern region while she hails from the furthest southern area."
After two months of dating, the couple decided to end their relationship. However, they have managed to maintain a positive connection. In October 2022, Gravy confirmed that they still communicate frequently, stating, "It wouldn't be practical for us to continue dating due to our geographical distance, but we stay in touch. Whenever I have a performance in Louisiana, she attends."
