A source tells PEOPLE the 'Magic Mike' actor "really wanted to have a baby" with Vergara and it "caused a rift" between the two
Joe Manganiello has filed for divorce from his wife Sofía Vergara two days after announcing their split after seven years of marriage, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
The Magic Mike actor cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the couple's split, according to divorce documents obtained by PEOPLE. Manganiello listed the date of separation as July 2 and noted the pair had a prenup.
The filing comes as a source tells PEOPLE Manganiello and Vergara had conflicting opinions about growing their family.
"He really wanted to have a baby with her and she wasn't interested and it caused a rift," the source says.
A second source previously told PEOPLE that the the former couple also had different ways in dealing with fame as well as personal interests.
Despite their shared mutual love and respect, the source says the Modern Family star and the True Blood alum "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.”
Earlier this week, Manganiello, 46, and Vergara, 51, confirmed they were splitting in a joint statement. "We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the couple shared in a statement to Page Six. “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.”
A source told PEOPLE at the time that the couple had been going through "ups and downs for a long time," though they "always put on a good front publicly."
