Sofia Vergara, the beloved judge on America’s Got Talent, recently found herself at the center of attention due to a joke made by Howie Mandel. During a lie-detector test on the show, Mandel asked Vergara if there was anyone in the audience she was interested in. This light-hearted question stemmed from the fact that Vergara is now single for the first time in nearly a decade.
To the disappointment of both the audience and Mandel, Vergara chose not to answer the question, leaving everyone wondering. This incident, coupled with Mandel’s previous jokes about her singleness, sparked online backlash towards Mandel. Fans were quick to defend Vergara, who always brings joy to the show.
Mandel defended himself in an interview with Extra, stating that he believed the joke was harmless. He emphasized that Vergara found it funny and assured everyone that he would never intentionally hurt a friend and fellow co-worker. However, the online community remained divided on this matter.
In July of this year, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello shocked their fans by announcing their separation after being married for seven years. Just two days following the announcement, Joe filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences,” which is a common reason among celebrities. While the specifics of their divorce are kept private, the couple released a joint statement declaring it was a mutual decision.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” they expressed on July 17, stating that the separation date was back on July 2. They kindly asked for privacy during this transition period in their lives, recognizing the challenges that come with such a significant change.
Rumors suggest that Joe’s desire to have children may have been a factor in their split. Unfortunately, Vergara, who already has a child from a previous relationship, may not have shared the same desire to expand their family. It’s always challenging when two people’s dreams and aspirations don’t align, and it seems this is what caused a rift in their relationship.
Shortly before the news of their separation, Sofia Vergara celebrated her 51st birthday. As she embarks on this new chapter in her life, we wish her all the happiness and strength she deserves. Sofia’s fans continue to support her and eagerly await her next exciting venture.
