July 2023 was a tough month for celebrity relationships, but no summer heartbreak was felt harder than the breakup between two certified hotties, Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello.

On July 17—the same day news broke that Ariana Grande had split from her husband, Dalton Gomez, after two years of marriage—Vergara and Manganiello released a joint statement announcing the demise of their own relationship. “We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” they told Page Six. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

Sofía Vergara was married once before Manganiello and shares one son, 31-year-old Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, with her ex-husband, Joe Gonzalez. The Modern Family and Magic Mike XXL actors first met in May 2014 while Vergara was engaged to ex-fiancé Nick Loeb, but Manganiello started wooing her once the Colombian star was single. Manganiello proposed on Christmas Eve of that same year, the pair wed in November 2015, and they have been married for seven years.

“Our first date was in June, and then I proposed to her on Christmas Eve; [we dated for] about six months,” Manganiello said in a 2015 interview with Haute Living. “When you know, you know, and we knew right away—like, very quickly.”

So what went wrong? Here’s Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s complete breakup timeline.

June 29, 2023: Vergara’s final Instagram post featuring Manganiello is a series of throwbacks from a previous vacation to Italy.

July 2, 2023: Manganiello lists July 2 as their date of separation when he files for divorce, according to a People report published on July 20.

July 7, 2023: Vergara begins posting from her 51st birthday vacation to Italy. Manganiello is notably absent.

July 10, 2023: Fans begin to question why the 46-year-old actor is missing on her birthday. “Where’s Joe? 👀 I’m worried 😦,” one commenter replies to a vacation dump posted on July 10.
