Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are focusing on themselves in the midst of their divorce after seven years of marriage.

The A-List former couple shocked fans when they announced their divorce in July, in a statement to Page Six which read: "We have made the difficult decision to divorce. 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."

Now, as the finalization of their divorce approaches, the Modern Family actress is remaining surrounded by friends, while the Magic Mike actor, who has kept a low profile in the wake of their split, has resurfaced for the first time since they announced it.

In the lead up to announcing the divorce and ever since, Sofia has made sure to keep her support system close, and has been sharing plenty of photos on Instagram surrounded by her closest friends.

Her latest post is no exception, and over the weekend she shared a slew of photos from her time well-spent by the pool, soaking up the sun and the last bits of summer.

Meanwhile, as Sofia enjoyed her time by the pool with friends, her soon-to-be ex-husband made his first public appearance in almost a month, the first since the former couple announced their divorce.

The former were married for almost eight years

He previously owned up to checking her out at the time, and joked to E! News: "C'mon you can't put that in front of me. What am I supposed to do? I'm not going to apologize, you know?" adding: "I totally got busted. That was actually funny when we first started dating, months after that."

The two got engaged six months after they first started dating, on Christmas Eve in 2014, to much fanfare. They tied the knot on November 22, 2015 in Palm Beach, Florida.
