Joe Manganiello’s new memoir“Bloodlines”is out, and it contains a story that sounds like a movie plot. According to the book, a Cuba-based shaman told him his mystery illness was caused by a voodoo curse. The shaman allegedly said a man from Sofía Vergara’s past placed the curse in New Orleans because he was still in love with her. Manganiello reportedly suspected her ex-fiancé Nick Loeb, who previously lived in New Orleans, and even looked into flights to Guayaquil, Ecuador for a cleanse.
The timing lines up with a very public chapter for the couple. Manganiello and Vergara married in 2014 and split in 2023 after seven years, with the divorce reportedly tied to him wanting children. Vergara has been open about not wanting more kids. The memoir adds a whole supernatural layer to an already complicated breakup story.
Page Six reached out to Loeb for comment and hasn’t heard back yet. Whatever you believe about curses, one thing is undeniable: this is the most unexpected celebrity memoir reveal of the year. And it has people talking. Do you think he actually believed it, or was the shaman just telling him what he needed to hear?
