Both Vergara and Joe Manganiello cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reasoning for the divorce.
After Vergara and Manganiello's split was announced, a source told People magazine the couple "always put on a good front publicly," but weathered through "ups and downs for a long time."
"They'd be fighting or bickering, but then plaster on smiles when others were looking," the insider said.
An additional source added, "Their physical attraction to each other only carried their marriage that far," the source explained. "On a day-to-day basis, there are so many other things that need to work. There were several things that didn't work."
