They stopped following one another and Audrey's sisters, Gracie and Maggie, also stopped following Manuel's account.
Audrey's last post with the star of the Netflix legal show was over the summer of 2025.
The former couple have an age gap of 21 years, with Manuel born in 1981 and Audrey in 2001. Despite their two-decade difference, they shared a passion for photography and travel.

Her heartache

She told People: “I always thought that I was more fragile or weaker than what life proved me to be,” and thanked her loved ones for their support throughout. “Life is a bitch, but it’s so worth living because friends are there for you."
Shakira continued: “When your world collapses, you have to get up and pay the bills and still prepare breakfast and take your kids to school. Life needs to go on.
"The moment I became a mother, I saw life through a different perspective, and my kids are not only the best thing that happened to me, but I’ve learned so much from them every day."
