Sofía Vergara, the beloved star known for her bright smile and sharp wit, has certainly had a storied journey in love. Like many of us, she’s navigated the ups and downs of relationships, always staying true to her priorities.
Long before she became a household name, Sofía married her high school sweetheart, Joe González, in 1990. Their union brought them a son, Manolo, born in 1991. However, their marriage ended just two years later. After their separation, Sofía dated other people. Still, remarrying quickly wasn’t on her mind. Her main focus during those years was raising her young son.
“I never wanted to confuse my son,” she shared with Parade in a 2011 interview. “It’s okay for your son to see you with someone on vacation, or out for lunch or dinner. But that’s not the same as seeing him spend the night in your room.” This clear boundary showed her dedication to Manolo.
Nearly two decades after her divorce, Sofía thought she had found love again with Nick Loeb. The couple dated for two years before getting engaged in 2012. Yet, their wedding plans didn’t come to be. Loeb and Vergara called off their engagement in 2014.
That same year, Sofía found a new connection with Joe Manganiello. Their romance moved swiftly. The couple tied the knot in November 2015. After seven years of marriage, Manganiello and Vergara decided to divorce in July 2023. Sofía’s path to finding her partner has been as dynamic as her career.
