It sounds like Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara were struggling with their marriage for a long time.

By now you most likely have heard the news that the pair are going their separate ways after seven years of marriage. The split came as a shock to many fans. Despite appearing to be such a happy couple, Sofia and Joe kept a lot of their relationship problems a secret from the public.

The source told the outlet that the duo were “always very different,” adding:

Another insider pointed out that they “differ immensely in style and what they like to do, although during the marriage, each tried to put the other’s interests ahead of their own to make it work.” Beyond Sofia and Joe’s contrasting personality, he ultimately couldn’t handle how she was dealing with fame!
