Sofía Vergara first captured America’s heart with her vibrant personality and unmistakable charm. From her roots as a model and TV host in Colombia, Vergara made the journey to Hollywood and quickly became a household name thanks to her iconic role as Gloria Pritchett on ABC’s “Modern Family.”
Born on July 10, 1972, in Barranquilla, Colombia, Vergara radiates warmth and humor both on and off the screen. Her talent for comedy earned her four Emmy nominations, and she’s expanded her brand to include clothing, furniture, and fragrance lines. Yet, what fans often love most is her authenticity – she’s refreshingly candid about her life, including her experience with thyroid cancer and the ongoing balancing act of career and motherhood with her son, Manolo.
Vergara’s romantic life has been as high-profile as her career. Her marriage to actor Joe Manganiello made them one of Hollywood’s favorite couples. The two were married in November 2015 after a whirlwind courtship, but announced their separation in July 2023 after nearly eight years together.
Before Manganiello, Vergara was engaged to businessman Nick Loeb, a relationship that later drew headlines due to a legal dispute over frozen embryos created during their time together. Since her divorce, Vergara’s name has continued to attract attention in the tabloids – she’s been seen out with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, sparking rumors of a budding romance, though neither has confirmed anything serious. In early 2024, whispers surfaced about her sharing a dinner with retired NFL star Tom Brady. So far, Vergara’s kept quiet about her love life, choosing instead to focus on her work.
That work includes a dramatic turn as drug queenpin Griselda Blanco in Netflix’s “Griselda” – a role that marks a bold departure from her comedic roots and has been attracting plenty of buzz.
Vergara has always been candid about her approach to relationships. In a 2013 interview, she remarked, “I’m fearless, I’m not afraid of love, but I’m also not afraid of being alone.” Even now, at 51, after a year of big changes, she echoes that sentiment, telling Entertainment Tonight, “I’ve had a very interesting year… I don’t want to say it’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me, but I think I’m finding myself again.”
