According to the documents, Manganiello and Vergara had a prenuptial agreement and will each keep the assets they obtained during the marriage. Vergara is not expected to contest the prenup.

E! News reported Manganiello cited "irreconcilable differences" for the split. The actor listed July 2 as their date of separation.

A source told People that Manganiello and Vergara had conflicting opinions about having children.

"He really wanted to have a baby with her and she wasn't interested and it caused a rift," the source said.

Vergara has a 31-year-old son, Manolo, from her first marriage.

Manganiello and Vergara announced their separation in a joint statement Monday after seven years of marriage.

"We have made the difficult decision to divorce," the couple told Page Six. "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."
