Sofia Vergara Celebrates 51st Birthday in Italy with a Friend Amid Split from Husband Joe Manganiello

The 'Modern Family' star said she was turning lemons into lemonade on the trip in an Instagram post shared one day before the divorce news broke

Sofia Vergara is living la dolce vita during her birthday trip in Italy — without Joe Manganiello.

The Modern Family actress headed to the European hotspot to celebrate her 51st birthday with a friend earlier this month. Noticeably absent from the ongoing celebration was Vergara's husband of seven years.

On Monday, sources confirmed to PEOPLE that the pair have decided to divorce.

In a prescient instagram posted from the hotel Villa Cimbrone in Ravello on Sunday, Vergara captioned a gallery of photos: “When life gives u lemons u come to Italy to squeeze them."

The Magic Mike actor did give his wife a shoutout on Instagram shortly after her actual birthday.

“¡¡¡Feliz Cumpleaños Sofía!!!” he wrote beside a shot of the couple on one of Vergara’s previous birthdays.

One of Vergara’s close friends seemingly accompanied her throughout the spectacular vacation and the duo enjoyed a series of fun-filled activities together — such as their boating excursion along the Amalfi Coast and sightseeing in Capri.

To celebrate her actual birthday on July 10, the star dined under lemon trees at Capri’s famous Ristorante da Paolino. In one clip posted on Instagram, she is seen enjoying her sparkling cake as the staff serenades her for her birthday.

During the same dinner, the actress made sure to snap a photo with more friends. She shared the shot on Instagram along with the caption: “So lucky to have my best friends in my favorite restaurant in my favorite island!!!❤️❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹 I love u”

Earlier in the day, the trio posed in front of a waterfront backdrop after enjoying a serene lunch and boat ride around the island. “What a bday day!!!🥳🥳🇮🇹🇮🇹,” Vergara wrote beside the post.
