Highlights
- Joe Manganiello debuts new tattoo, an Armenian word for 'angel,' which pays homage to his Armenian ancestry.
- Joe's ink is not related to his divorce from Sofia Vergara, unlike Angelina Jolie's recent tattoo, and instead represents his cultural background.
- Sofia and Joe's divorce proceedings should be straightforward, as they had a prenup and seem to be in agreement regarding the division of assets and earnings.
It’s not a post-breakup haircut, but Joe Manganiello has changed up his look a bit since filing for divorce from Sofia Vergara, as he was recently spotted with a new tattoo.
Tattoo artist Ruben Malayan debuted Joe’s new ink in an Instagram post made August 22, which included a photo of the actor and his tattoo. “My latest work, so far largest in scale Հրեշտակ (Angel) for @joemanganiello who I am sure will wear it with pride!” he captioned the post.
The tattoo is written in Armenian, meaning ‘angel.’ It could be seen on his forearm in the photos, with his dog Bubbles cradled in his lap, whom he recently won custody of.
Unlike Angelina Jolie’s new tattoo – which fan think is a diss towards her ex-husband Brad Pitt- Joe’s ink seems to have nothing to do with his newly single status. Rather, it seems to be a clear nod to his Armenian ancestry. Joe has been vocal about his roots, including how his great-grandmother survived the Armenian Genocide, later relocating to the U.S.
Joe And Sofia Allegedly Split Because She Doesn’t Want Kids
Joe filed for divorce from Sofia earlier this month, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple had announced their split in a joint statement only days prior to his court filing.
"We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the statement read. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
Though they haven’t publicly given a reason for their break-up, there’s been speculation Joe, 46, decided to end their marriage because Sofia, 51, doesn’t want to have children. The Modern Family star is already a mom to a 31-year old son.
“Sofía and Joe have been growing apart for a while now and are taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future,” an insider said of their split to Page Six.
“They have been spending time apart and focusing on themselves, their careers, and their loved ones. Sofia has been giving her all to her new beauty brand, toty, and is very involved and excited about it,” a different source told Entertainment Tonight.
Joe And Sofia Have A Prenup, So The Divorce Should Be Simple
Sofia Vergara is reportedly worth $180 million, while Joe has a net worth of $40 million. But the pair apparently signed a prenup prior to their 2015 wedding, which should make the divorce a simple process, at least in theory.
As per court documents, neither seem to be contesting the terms of the prenup, which Sofia’s filing says gives her ownership of most assets, including artwork and jewelry. She also wants to ensure her earnings from before and after their marriage are protected.
Although Sofia and Joe’s divorce still hasn’t been finalized, the pair are making it clear they’re moving on, from Joe recently ditching his wedding band in public to Sofia’s single status being the subject of a joke from Howie Mandel on America’s Got Talent.
