Two Years After Joe Manganiello Split, Sofia Vergara, 53, Spotted Hugging Spanish Actor

Sofia Vergara seems to be dating again following her divorce. Two years after splitting from Joe Manganiello, she was recently spotted with Spanish actor and producer Manuel Vega at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Witnesses say they appeared affectionate, sharing a hug and a kiss as they left the hotel on February 13th. While Vergara has been rumored to be seeing other people, including Lewis Hamilton and Justin Saliman, this is the first public sign of a new romantic connection since her split in 2024.

Sofía Vergara, 53, stepped out looking stylish and relaxed for a casual outing. She wore a sparkling black top with a low neckline, paired with high-waisted blue jeans and a brown leather jacket, finishing the look with black heels and a simple necklace.

Her companion, producer Luisman Vergara, kept it casual in a white graphic T-shirt, black jeans, and a white baseball cap, carrying a denim Louis Vuitton jacket. The pair appeared happy and were even photographed holding hands while walking around Hollywood.

Although neither has publicly confirmed their relationship, the timing of the outing so close to Valentine’s Day has led fans to speculate that Vergara has found a new partner.
