Bad news, boys –- Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara is seemingly off the market. The Columbian-born star of the small screen has reportedly become engaged to on-off beau, businessman Nick Loeb.
Sofia, who is currently holidaying in the Rosewood Mayakoba resort, Riviera Maya, Mexico; with a bevy of 90 pals, including fellow Modern Family actresses Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy) and Sarah Hyland (Haley Dunphy), and of course other half Nick Loeb; is there to celebrate quite a milestone –- her 40th birthday (and is seriously looking amazing, majorly thinking of investing in some Covergirl now to emulate her gorgeous glow — if only I could get my pale, distinctly non-glow-y, grubby mitts on it in Ireland!).
However, rumours abound that the Latino lovely was perhaps celebrating in the double when ex-colleague and friend, Fernando Fiore –- they’re both former hosts of show Fuera de serie -– tweeted a picture of himself alongside Ms. Vergara, who was sporting an altogether conspicuous, shiny sparkler on her ring finger. According to reports, boyfriend Loeb popped that all-important question at Chichen Itza, an area of ancient Mayan ruins.
Vergara, who currently plays sassy trophy wife Gloria Delgado-Pritchett to Ed O’Neill’s Jay Pritchett, on the hit US comedy Modern Family; met her rumoured now-fiance at a Golden Globes shindig in 2010. They are said to have a fiery relationship, with one source (possibly exaggerating ever-so-slightly) claiming that the twosome have broken up and reconciled “over a million times”.
The pair split, seemingly for good, briefly this May; however were spotted back together, hand in hand as early as June. Sofia has been a wedded woman once before, becoming a young wife to teenage love, Joe Gonzalez, in 1990. Their marriage was not to last though, hitting the skids in 1993. They are parents to son Manolo, who was born in 1992.
