The Magic Mike actor and America's Got Talent judge first met at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in 2014. (Sofía's Modern Family costar, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, introduced them. By December, Joe proposed, and they said "I do" in November 2015. Now that Joe and Sofía are officially ending things, fans are naturally curious about how she is coping with the end of their relationship. Let's take a closer look at photos of her returning to film AGT in August 2023.
Sofía was photographed smiling and flashing a peace sign on her way to film 'AGT.'
On August 22, paparazzi photographed Sofía as she arrived to film AGT. (The reality competition show kicked off its live episodes that night in Pasadena, California.) The star smiled for the camera while wearing sunglasses, a white blouse, and boot-cut jeans — and in one shot, she even flashed a peace sign.
On Instagram, she marked the kickoff of 'AGT' live shows.
Ahead of the live AGT episode, Sofía took to Instagram to share a series of posts with her followers. "Back on the desk! The best job in the world! @agt America start voting!!!" she captioned a selfie with audience members in the background. Sofía also posted a Boomerang video of herself and fellow judge Heidi Klum dancing.
She has been spotted other times since the divorce announcement—including at a Taylor Swift concert.
Just because Sofía is going through a divorce doesn't mean she's been holed up at home. She was spotted out and about in West Hollywood while celebrating her sister Veronica's birthday, as well as in Tampa, Florida, while promoting her beauty brand Toty on the Home Shopping Network. Not to mention, Sofía posted photos and videos from concerts she's attended over the summer — including Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
Sofía stepped out without her wedding ring for the first time in late July 2023.
On July 24, paparazzi caught Sofía sans ring in West Hollywood. The outing was her first time being photographed in public since Sofía, 51, and Joe, 46, revealed their split, Us Weekly reported. The newly single celeb gave a thumbs-up with her right hand, and her bare left ring finger was visible resting on her handbag.
Sofía and Joe asked for privacy in their divorce announcement.
On July 17, Sofía and Joe released a joint statement announcing their divorce. "We have made the difficult decision to divorce," they wrote in a statement published by Page Six at the time. “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.”
Considering Joe and Sofía don't have any kids (although they share a Chihuahua named Bubbles) and signed a prenup, hopefully the divorce process goes as smoothly as possible so they can both start the next chapter of their lives.
