Joe Manganiello claimed his eight-year marriage to Sofia Vergara became devoid of emotion and alleged the actress refused to hug him or mocked his five-pound chihuahua, according to excerpts from his forthcoming memoir Bloodlines.
Memoir Allegations Detail Split
The 49-year-old True Blood actor detailed his years-long health battle in the book excerpt, writing that his marriage to the 54-year-old Modern Family star grew completely devoid of emotionality. Manganiello alleged that Vergara refused to hug him even when he begged and ridiculed him for his pet chihuahua, Bubbles.
The couple married in 2015 and officially called it quits in 2023. Back in 2024, Vergara shared rare comments about the divorce, stating they split because he wanted children and she did not want any more. Manganiello is now disputing those stated reasons in his upcoming memoir.
Family Social Media Response
Following the release of the memoir excerpts, Vergara’s 35-year-old son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, shared an Instagram Story graphic comparing a good man to a narcissistic man. The chart outlined tendencies such as gaslighting, blameshifting, lying, and playing the victim.
Over the graphic, Manolo wrote that when dealing with a narcissist, it does not matter how much you do for them because they will resent you for it, and nothing will ever be enough. Sofia Vergara promptly reposted her son’s Instagram Story to her own account.
