In mid-2020, Sofia Vergara celebrated her fifth anniversary with husband, Joe Manganiello. In an interview with the “Daily Mail,” he revealed the secret to their relationship.
He said he knew right away when they were together that he could trust her and that they were both kind-hearted people capable of putting others first. “I was capable of putting her wishes above mine, and she was capable of doing the same.”
True Love
Later that year, the two started dating, and six months into their relationship, the actor knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Sofia. So, what did he do?
He proposed to her on Christmas Eve, of course. The proposal was reportedly incredibly romantic. Manganiello even prepared an entire speech for her in Spanish and said it as he got down on one knee as the sunset in the background.
Walking Down the Aisle
The following year, Vergara and Manganiello tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida. There were 400 people in attendance at their wedding, including the actress’s "Modern Family" co-stars, along with an array of other celebs like Reese Witherspoon and Channing Tatum.
They said their vows at the lavish Breakers Resort, where Vergara walked down the aisle in a stunning (custom) Zuhair Murad Couture dress.
Relationship Goals
Aside from always putting each other’s needs ahead of their own, the couple keeps things interesting between them by laughing – a lot. The actress even revealed to "HOLA! USA" that they made up a little voice that they use when speaking to each other.
She also noted that if anyone outside of the relationship heard them, they’d probably wonder if everything was alright. After they saw that they shared the same sense of humor, they knew they were in it for the long haul. In 2023 the couple decided to try things differently and decided to separate.
Sofia, the Dog Lover
Much like her character on "Modern Family," Sofia is a dog lover and has a few of her own that she always hypes up on her Instagram. On the social media page, which has over 20.5 million followers, she frequently posts pictures of her two little dogs.
For Halloween, she included a picture of them in costumes of their own – one of which was wearing bat wings. Another image shows one of them in a sparkly little pink dress that’s oddly similar to one she’s worn in the past.
