"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." Fox News Digital has reached out to representatives for Vergara and Manganiello for comment.
Vergara, 51, and Manganiello, 46, first met at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2014. Vergara attended the event with her then-fiance, Nick Loeb.

"She was wearing this dress that looked great on her and I just could not take my eyes off of her." Her "Modern Family" co-star, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, eventually introduced them.
