Joe Manganiello has made serious claims about his ex-wife, Sofía Vergara, in his upcoming memoir, Bloodlines. He alleges that she mistreated him during a challenging period when he was grappling with a near-fatal autoimmune disease. Manganiello recounts moments where Vergara “ridiculed” him for adopting a small dog named Bubbles in 2019, which he did while facing suicidal thoughts.
Manganiello details feeling abandoned, saying Vergara refused to offer him comfort even when he asked for a hug during his illness. He challenges her narrative that their separation stemmed from his desire for children, asserting that he had relinquished that dream due to his declining health.
His memoir intends to clarify misconceptions about his relationship with Vergara. While he has faced significant health challenges and underwent serious surgeries, Manganiello reveals that he is now symptom-free and cherishes the support of his fiancée, Caitlin O’Connor, with whom he is considering having children.
Bloodlines is set to be released on October 13, and the media has reached out to Vergara’s representatives for comments on Manganiello’s allegations.
