Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello made the shocking announcement on July 17 that they will divorce after seven years of marriage.
The America's Got Talent star and the Magic Mike actor first met in May 2014 and enjoyed a whirlwind romance before tying the knot in November 2015. While Sofia was madly in love with Joe at the time, it didn't stop her from being practical about her financial future should their marriage end in divorce.
Do Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello have a prenup?
Sofia is estimated to be worth a whopping $180 million and made most of her fortune before she and Joe tied the knot, so it's not surprising she entered their marriage with an iron-clad prenup to protect her premarital assets.

While details of their prenup have not been made public, it sounds like dividing their marital assets and earnings should be straightforward.
Back in 2015, Sofia revealed that they would be keeping their financial matters separate once they tied the knot. Speaking to Howard Stern on his Sirius XM show, Sofia also said that Joe had no issue agreeing to a prenup. She said: "He said, 'Do whatever you want. I'll sign whatever you want.'"
