For a lot of people, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s marriage just seems too good to be true. Let’s look at the facts here. Both are successful television actors. Both are incredibly good looking (almost too good looking). And if that weren’t enough, they are head-over-heels in love with one another. Their lives just seem to be too perfect to be true. That’s why a lot of people are wondering what is really going on behind closed doors because from the outside their marriage looks nothing less than picture perfect. That’s why so many people are saying the same thing: when it comes to Sofia and Joe, something’s gotta give.

Of course, Joe and Sofia can talk all day about how much they want each other and how much they are in love with one another. But their body language sometimes tells a different story. I mean, have you ever met a couple that has never had a fight behind closed doors? We didn’t think so. That’s why we think that there is something going on with Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello but they just don’t want to tell us. Or at least, their publicists don’t want to say it. With that being said, here are 15 reasons why Sofia and Joe won’t last.

Their Relationship Was A PR Set-Up

From the very start there has been a lot of speculation that Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s romance was nothing more than just a PR set-up. After all, they were personally set up by their publicists. And knowing how so many couples are set up in Hollywood for publicity purposes, we wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case for Sofia and Joe, too.

After all, these two just look too darn perfect as a couple, right? At least, that’s what both a lot of fans and critics believe. What’s more, both Sofia and Joe’s publicists might have had an agenda behind their pairing up. Either someone wanted to boost someone else’s career or the other way around. Of course, we might never know what the real truth is but for now there is plenty of speculation.

They Are Just Too Good Looking

Let’s not beat around the bush here: both Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara are just too darn good looking. I mean, we’ve all seen Joe without his shirt on, right? Some of his scenes in front of the camera are just too much to handle. And let’s not get started with Sofia in a bikini. We can’t believe that time has stood still for her for so many years. These two are so gorgeous, it hurts our eyes.

Speaking about how they first met, Sofia Vergara said in an interview, “I thought he was very handsome, but I wasn't interested. Too handsome. Yeah, there is such a thing as too much. Or so I thought.” We couldn’t agree with you more, Sofia. But seriously, talk about first world problems, right?

Sofia Was Joe’s Ultimate Crush

For the longest time Joe had admitted that Sofia Vergara was his ultimate Hollywood crush. As a matter of fact, he lusted over her for years. So what are the chances that a man like Joe would end up marrying a woman that he secretly lusted over for years? Well, 100 percent, apparently. Yes, he’s just that darn lucky.

Also, Joe until this very day still repeats that Sofia was always his ultimate Hollywood crush. Talk about winning the lottery, right? There are millions of men from all over the world that would love to be with a woman like Sofia, but he’s got her all for himself. Joe once said, “I actually got married to my celebrity crush, my wife Sofia. She’s great, we can go anywhere together. We still feel like newlyweds.”

There Is Too Much Hollywood Pressure

One big reason why Sofia and Joe might not make it is because they are a Hollywood couple. I mean, we don’t know of many celebrity couples who make it past the 5-year mark, let alone stay married for ten years in the entertainment industry. When you work in a place like Hollywood, there is so much pressure to always keep up appearances. And for Joe and Sofia, that might get tiresome.

Yet, for the Hollywood actress getting dressed up is part of her daily routine. Sofia once confessed, "I feel [best] when I am well put together. I like having my hair, my makeup done and a cute outfit," she said. "I want to tell you I feel [the most attractive] when I wake up but no, I feel it when I'm done up a bit."

They Are Talking About Starting A Family

Joe Manganiello has made it no secret that he would love to start a family of his own with Sofia. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Sofia is that willing to get pregnant again, especially this far down the road. She’s in the prime of her career right now. This might be a huge problem in their marriage, especially if they can’t agree on what they want and how they want to spend their future together.

Plus, Sofia wants to just enjoy life with only the two of them. She recently said, “We eat everything. We love trying different things. Food is our thing. If we are in a different place, we love trying the local cuisine. We aren't scared. We love to go eat sushi. We love to go to the movies, just regular things that couples do. He loves to take me to eat shaved ice. He thinks I really love it, but he loves it more than me. I love that he loves it, so I go. I do prefer my desserts when I can chew them."

They Have Achieved Bombshell And Heartthrob Status

Joe Manganiello became a household name thanks to his shirtless scenes in HBO’s highly-rated series, True Blood. All you need to do is take one look at Joe to know why he’s got millions of adoring fans from all over the world. The same applies to Sofia Vergara. While Joe is a Hollywood heartthrob, Sofia is considered to be one of the best-looking women in the world. Both have millions of fans who lust over them every single day.

Now, this might not necessarily be a problem but knowing that there are plenty of guys and gals who want you and could easily take you, might make it a bit easier for either Joe or Sofia to walk away from their marriage. I mean, Sofia is not the kind of gal who can remain lonely for a long period of time.

Sofia’s Complicated Dating History

Believe it or not, Sofia has quite a colorful dating history. She dated shady businessman (and all around nightmare) Nick Loeb for several years and the two were even planning to get married. Prior to her relationship with Nick, she also dated Tom Cruise for several years. Things didn’t work out between her and Tom because Sofia wasn’t interested in dipping her toes into the pool that is called the Church of Scientology.

In the early 2000s, Sofia Vergara also dated British pop star Craig David. Clearly, Sofia was looking for a guy who had enough celebrity of Hollywood status to help boost her own career. In other words, Sofia isn’t going to get with just any guy out there. She always has been and will be a social climber.

They Are All About Keeping Up Appearances

Here’s another thing that might eventually break Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara’s marriage: both have to keep up appearances. Even though both have been genetically blessed with good looks, it’s not always easy looking like a perfect 10 on the red carpet. That’s why we have a feeling that either Joe or Sofia might throw in the towel one day and just give it all up. I mean, there’s only so much you can do over and over again, right?

Also, Sofia knows she’s gorgeous and she’s not the kind of person that will apologize for it, either. It’s the one thing that she really has going for her. I mean, you’ve seen her on the cover of magazines, right? Sofia once explained, “Latin women are very comfortable with their bodies and their [sensuality]. We aren't afraid to show that off a little bit more.”

They Are Just Too "Perfect" Together

We’ve said this before and we will say it again: Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara are just too darn perfect with one another. They seriously are a match made in publicist heaven. They’ve been married for a few years now and they still act like they are in their honeymoon stage. I mean, their marriage just sounds too good to be true.

Also, one of the biggest problems Sofia has had is her very huge body proportions, if you know what we mean. Some people would call it assets, others like Sofia would call it a nuisance. She claims that her out-of-this-world hourglass has actually been difficult for her, especially when it comes to buying undergarments that fit her proportions.

There Is An Increasing Sense Of Boredom

With all of that being said, though, there’s a strong possibility that either Joe or Sofia might end up getting bored in their marriage. I mean, it happens to the best of us and Joe and Sofia certainly aren’t immune to these kind of problems, either. We wouldn’t be surprised if either one would walk out or walk away from their marriage simply out of pure boredom. The sparkle of their "perfect" relationship might get dull quickly.

Also, Sofia has never been the kind of person to look for a sugar daddy. She’s always been someone who has kept within her age range. Sofia once said, “I've never gone out with a guy who is older than me by more than a couple years. Usually it's my age, a little bit older, or even a little bit younger. But not a 15- or 20-year difference.”

Joe’s Jealousy

According to several (unconfirmed) reports, word on the street is that Joe Manganiello might be the jealous type. Apparently, he’s been asking his wife Sofia Vergara to cover up more on the red carpet, but she’s not having it. That’s because Sofia knows that her appearance is all part of her public image and it’s what helps boost her career, too. But now that they are married, Joe wants his wife to look a little more modest on the red carpet. Clearly, she hasn’t been listening to him because she’s still dressing like the fiery Latina that she is. And let me tell you, that woman always looks like she is on fire whenever she’s at one of her public events.

Of course, this might cause a huge problem down the road for Joe and Sofia. There’s only so much that Joe can take, especially if Sofia continues to do things her way. The pressure of having so many men after his wife might lead Joe to crack.

Sofia’s Career Success Is Outshining Joe's 

Here’s another little but very uncomfortable fact about their marriage: Sofia Vergara is definitely the more successful party out of the two. She’s a name brand with plenty of sponsorships and promotional deals. What’s more, she’s also the highest paid actress on television right now. No one can come close to her or even touch her, for that matter.

But when it comes to Joe, the same can’t be said about his career right now. As a matter of fact, Joe has struggled to find good work ever since he wrapped True Blood several years ago. Sure, he’s starred in the Magic Mike films, but that doesn’t compare to the same amount of fame and money that Sofia has been making on the set of Modern Family. She’s definitely the more successful one in their marriage.

They Both Have An Expiration Date

The sad but brutal truth about Hollywood is that eventually everyone ends up having an expiration date. You’re on top for one minute and the next thing you know, you are struggling to keep yourself from tumbling down to celebrity oblivion. And no matter how hard you try to stay relevant, it happens to almost everyone, and especially to television actors. And that’s the category that both Sofia and Joe are in right now.

For Joe this has to be an especially tough pill to swallow because acting has always been his true passion. Unlike Sofia, he doesn’t have a back up or a Plan B to fall on. He doesn’t have the campaigns and modelling opportunities she has. He once said, “Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.”

There Are Issues With Sofia’s Ex

Here’s a huge thorn that has been on Sofia’s side for several years now: her ex-fiancé, Nick Loeb. According to reports, he’s been doing whatever it takes to make Sofia’s life absolutely miserable. He has been insisting on using their frozen embryos to start a family of his own. Even though Sofia is totally against the idea (because she has more common sense than he does), Nick wants to raise their daughters as a single father even though they’ve been broken up for years now. Nick has even brought their case to court.

Of course, all of this stress has to be a huge problem for Joe and Sofia in their marriage. But unfortunately, Nick just won’t let things go. It’s almost as if he is doing this to spite Sofia. That can't be an easy thing for Joe to deal with.

Is It All Just An Act?

Of course, when it comes to Hollywood, no one knows what is real and what is fake. After all, there are plenty of good actors in the entertainment industry who know how to fake feelings both on and off camera. We’ve seen it way too many times in the past to count ourselves.

If Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara were to announce their divorce tomorrow, we honestly wouldn’t be surprised. We would actually be more surprised to see them last more than just several years. I mean, we are talking about two people who live in La La Land and pretend to be other people for a living. That’s why a lot of people can’t help but wonder if this is all an act. Time will only tell. Watch this space. We have a feeling that Sofia and Joe’s very perfect world will begin to reveal the truth sooner rather than later.
