Sofia Vergara has been unapologetically enjoying her newly single status after her divorce from ex Joe Manganiello. A source who knows Vergara told the media, “Sofia is having fun and doing her thing. She’s not looking to be tied down.”
The source went on to say that Vergara “is focused on herself and enjoying dating” and that she is “ready for this new chapter.”
Vergara and Manganiello released a statement in which they announced their plan to divorce which shocked everyone! The statement read, “we have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives,” The couple married in November 2015 after having dated for a while.
While 51-year-old Vergara has been enjoying her single life, if seems like her 47-year-old ex-husband Manganiello has already moved on. According to sources, Vergara is not the least bit concerned about her ex-husband moving on rather quickly. Sources said, she “is relieved to be in control of her life and is excited about what the future holds in her personal and professional life.”
“She has been surrounding herself with friends and family and feeling very proud about the projects she’s working on,” the source went on. “She’s in a great headspace all around.”
Vergara has been busy promoting her new work while Manganiello has made headlines for his blooming romance with actress Caitlin O’Connor.
According to sources, Manganiello first crossed paths with O’Connor in December last year while they both attended a party for Winning Time. The couple moved quickly as they soon made their red carpet debut together at the COAF (Children of Armenia Fund) Gala in the same month.
According to the source, Vergara “wishes Joe the best,” in his new romance.
“His relationship with Caitlin doesn’t faze her,” the source said. The source went on to say that Manganiello and O’Connor “are doing really well and getting more and more serious and talking about their future. They are really enjoying where things are going.”
While Manganiello is open about his new-found love, Vergara is keeping her love life on the down low. However, she has recently been linked with Dr. Justin Saliman, a sports medicine-focused orthopedic surgeon. Another source in November last year said about the pair, “they like each other a lot, but Sofia is also taking things slow.”
After her divorce, Vergara opened up about how she was feeling in an interview. She was incredibly candid and said, “I’m newly divorced from my second husband, who I was with for 10 years. My marriage broke up because my husband was younger,” she said. “He wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore.”
She went on to add, “I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother,” Vergara added of her son with Joe Gonzalez, Manolo. “So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things. When my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I’ll give it back to him and go on with my life; that’s what I have to do.”
She mentioned that following her divorce she felt “very fulfilled” in terms of her professional life.
“I’ve done much more in my career than I ever dreamed of. I never dreamed of being an actress. It was an accident,” she said. “I’ve been [judging] America’s Got Talent for four years, a show where I have a lot of fun… I have my own clothing and beauty brand. I can’t even think of complaining about anything.”
