The girls night out comes more than three months after Vergara and her estranged husband Joe Manganiello, 46, announced their decision to divorce after seven years of marriage. 

“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the couple shared in a statement to Page Six at the time. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

Manganiello officially filed for divorce two days after the breakup was announced. Per docs obtained by PEOPLE, he cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split and listed their date of separation as July 2. He also noted the pair had a prenup.

However, in separate court docs obtained by PEOPLE, Vergara requested in her filing that the court uphold the former couple's prenup. She also requested the court confirms that certain assets should remain hers, including jewelry, artwork and "other personal effects." She claimed her earnings from before and during their marriage as her assets as well.

Vergara met Manganiello at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in 2014. The couple tied the knot in Palm Springs, Florida, in 2015. The actress first sparked rumors there was trouble in paradise after she was spotted celebrating her 51st birthday in Italy without him.

After confirming their divorce, a source told PEOPLE that Vergara and Manganiello "differ immensely in style and what they like to do, although during the marriage, each tried to put the other’s interests ahead of their own to make it work."
