In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, popular actress Sofía Vergara shared an interesting dating rule she lives by. The 51-year-old revealed that she prefers not to date someone who is more than two years younger than her.
The topic came up during a discussion about Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny's mention of Vergara in his song 'Monaco.' While the actress expressed her excitement upon discovering the shout-out from the 29-year-old rapper, fellow guest Alexia Nepola jokingly suggested that Vergara should consider dating Bad Bunny since he's currently single.
However, Vergara dismissed the idea, explaining that Bad Bunny is actually younger than her son Manolo, who is 32. Host Andy Cohen playfully asked if her rule was that she wouldn't date anyone younger than her son, to which Vergara and Nepola agreed. Nepola mentioned that she also follows a similar rule.
Vergara then added a humorous twist to her dating rule, saying, 'To me, they can't be younger than 50, I'm 51.' Cohen expressed surprise, to which Vergara teased and said, 'Okay, 49. I'm intelligent.' This lighthearted exchange brought laughter to the set.
Vergara, who is currently estranged from her husband Joe Manganiello, shed more light on Bad Bunny's mention of her during the show. She admitted the shout-out was a surprise and expressed her love for the musician, noting that she didn't know he was going to name her in the song.
In the track 'Monaco,' featured on Bad Bunny's latest album, the rapper sings, 'Sofía Vergara is beautiful, but she is more beautiful in person.' Vergara responded to the love shown by Bad Bunny on Instagram back in October, sharing a clip from the music video and complimenting the artist.
In a recent interview with Spanish newspaper El País, Vergara opened up about her split from Manganiello, citing their different desires when it came to expanding their family as one of the reasons for their divorce. The actress explained that her former husband, who is 47, wanted to have children, while she did not want to be an older mother.
Vergara further elaborated, saying, 'I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I'm ready to be a grandmother, not a mother.' Recognizing that everyone has their own choices, she stated that becoming a parent again was not for her anymore. Instead, if love comes along, she expects the person to already have children.
The actress also shared her perspective on aging, mentioning that she is approaching menopause and that when her son becomes a father, she wants him to bring the baby to her for a while before going on with her own life. This way, she can experience the joys of being a grandmother without the responsibilities of motherhood again.
It's worth noting that in November, Vergara was spotted on multiple dinner dates with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. The pair originally caught attention when they were photographed together during Kim Kardashian's birthday celebrations at an Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills the previous month.
Sofía Vergara's dating rule, though light-hearted and with a touch of humor, sheds light on her personal preferences and priorities when it comes to relationships. As she continues to navigate her love life, it seems her focus lies on finding a partner who aligns with her desires and life stage.
