Sofia Vergara opens up about dating and her split

Sofia Vergara took picture with a fried fish

Sofia Vergara, the renowned actress and model, is making her return to the dating scene, but with a traditional twist. Six months after her breakup with Joe Manganiello, Vergara is embracing the idea of having fun and meeting new people. In a recent interview with The Daily Mail, she admitted that she has not ventured into the world of dating apps, citing her lack of technological skills. However, she remains open to the idea of finding a partner, emphasizing that it's only been a short time since her split.

Vergara, who hails from Colombia but has spent more years in the United States, describes herself as still being very Latin. She enjoys working out to Latin music and surrounds herself with close friends, many of whom she has known since childhood. Now, she feels the need for companionship and expressed her desire for a partner, clarifying that it doesn't necessarily have to be a husband.

During the interview, the Modern Family star also touched upon her previous relationship with Manganiello. She revealed that their breakup was due to differing desires regarding expanding their family. As Manganiello, at 47 years old, wanted children and Vergara, at 51, did not, their visions for the future did not align. She explained her hesitations, imagining what it would be like to have a child at an older age and feeling concerned about being able to fully commit to motherhood while maintaining her successful career.

However, Vergara does express excitement about becoming a grandmother someday. With her son being 32 years old, she feels ready to embrace the role and enjoy spending time with her grandchild. She jokingly adds that once she's done playing with her grandchild, she'll gladly hand back the responsibility to her son, signaling her eagerness to balance family and career.

The celebrity couple announced their split last year, emphasizing their continued love and care for each other. They asked for privacy during this challenging period as they navigate their new lives separately. Manganiello filed for divorce soon after, citing irreconcilable differences. Since their separation, Manganiello has been linked to actress Caitlin O'Connor, while Vergara has been seen on multiple dates with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman.

As Sofia Vergara embraces this new chapter in her life, it's clear that she values her independence and career while being open to the possibility of finding a partner. Her focus on family, both immediate and future, showcases her desire for a balanced and fulfilling life. We wish her all the happiness in her journey towards love and companionship.
