Tragic information regarding actress Sofia Vergara validates our collective fears.
The star of Modern Family Sofia Vergara recently celebrated her 51st birthday. While her fans were thrilled for her and the fun she had with her closest friends, they couldn’t help but notice that her husband Joe Manganiello wasn’t in the pictures. Their suspicions about his absence increased when the actress wrote, “When life gives u lemons u come to Italy to squeeze them,” as a caption for one of the posts.
With a blurry picture of the couple and the remark, “¡¡¡Feliz Cumpleaños Sofía!!!”—which many branded “cold”—Jose did wish his wife a very happy birthday.
When they announced they were divorcing after almost eight years, it tragically verified the rumors that their relationship wasn’t at its finest.

In November 2015, Sofia and Joe exchanged vows in a grandiose wedding on Palm Beach. Along with Manganiello’s True Blood co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, the 400 guests on their guest list included Vergara’s co-stars from Modern Family, Ariel Winter, Ed O’Neill, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, and Ty Burrell. Reese Witherspoon and Channing Tatum were among the other A-list celebrities in attendance.
In 2014, when she was engaged to businessman Nick Loeb, they had their first meeting at a White House Correspondent Association dinner. After a few weeks, she ended her relationship with Nick and became involved with Joe after he requested for her number.
In reference to their encounter, Joe remarked, “I knew pretty quickly that I could trust her, and she knew pretty quickly that she could trust me,” in an interview from 2020. Furthermore, we are both the types of individuals that can put the needs of another person above our own. “I could prioritize her desires over mine, no matter what they were,” he continued. “She could do the same.” You never let go of it once you have it.
In a heartbreaking statement to PageSix on Monday, the pair revealed their intention to split, stating, “We have made the difficult decision to divorce.”
In their statement, they said, “As two people who genuinely love and care for one another, we kindly request respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
“Sofía and Joe have been growing apart for a while now and are taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future,” a source close to the pair stated. “Those close to Sofia were explaining away Joe’s absence at the beginning of her big birthday trip with the excuse that he was busy filming back on the East Coast; that excuse barely held up due to the writers strike, but once the actor’s strike took effect, he could have been on the first flight,” another source continued. and it is obvious that he is not.
Therefore, nobody who is with her is even making an effort to act as though it’s still going on. It’s finished. It’s over,” they said.

Utah dad and daughter killed in freak accident, bulldozer flies off tow truck, crushes car
A tragedy in Ogden Canyon claimed the lives of a Utah father and his 16-year-old daughter when their pickup truck was struck by a flying bulldozer.
Reports indicate that Richard Hendrickson, the CEO of Lifetime Products, was in the car with his wife and three children when a tow truck traveling in the opposite direction lost control of the mini bulldozer it was hauling, which then collided with the family’s vehicle.
Hendrickson and his daughter Sally were killed at the spot. The rest of the passengers survived.
The tragic accident took place on Saturday, July 6 while the family were traveling up a narrow two-lane road in Ogden Canyon in eastern Weber County, Utah.
When it tried to turn, about 12:49 p.m, the tow truck hauling heavy equipment was traveling eastbound, as per the Department of Public Safety.
While “negotiating a right-hand curve,” the “bulldozer broke free” from the tow truck and was launched into Hendrickson’s westbound GMC pickup, which was towing a boat.
The surviving passenger were treated for minor injuries.
Tributes from family and friends started pouring in, referring to Hendrickson as to “trusted and cherished” man and a “visionary.”
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the tragic and sudden passing of our CEO and President, Richard David Hendrickson. This heartbreaking incident also claimed the life of one of his daughters, Sally,” Lifetime Products writes in a statement. Describing the man as “more than a company leader,” the statement continues, “He was also a visionary and a friend to many within our business and the wider community.”
Barry Mower, the organization’s founder, contributed to the statement, “He was one of my most trusted and cherished friends and will be sorely missed.”
Utah Governor Spencer Cox expressed his condolences to the family on X, writing, “Richard was a friend and incredible leader. We are heartbroken by his tragic passing with his daughter Sally. We mourn with the surviving members of his family and pray they will find comfort and healing.”
The post of Governor Cox gathered the attention of many. One person commented, “Praying for Richard’s family, this is absolutely senseless! Gov Cox you and your administration MUST do something to strictly regulate and severely penalize unsafe loads.”
Following the tragedy, a petition was initiated to prohibit larger vehicles from using the narrow “two-lane passageway” bordered by the Ogden River on one side and steep mountain cliffs on the other.
As of Tuesday, the petition, which aims to reach 5,000 signatures, had garnered around 3,300. The petition states, “We are raising this petition to enforce regulation on the types of vehicles permitted on Highway 39 that transverses the heart of Ogden Canyon. There is an urgent need to limit the particular categories of vehicles that can drive through this constricted roadway, ensuring the security of all who rely on it.”
Our thoughts and prayers go to the grieving family.
