The 51-year-old actress and 46-year-old actor Joe Manganiello ended their seven-year marriage earlier this year and Vergara’s ‘Modern Family’ co-star Julie Bowen said she is thriving despite the upheaval in her personal life.
SOFIA Vergara is “doing great” after her split from Joe Manganiello.
The 51-year-old actress and 46-year-old actor Manganiello ended their seven-year marriage earlier this year and Vergara’s ‘Modern Family’ co-star Julie Bowen, 53, said she is thriving despite the upheaval in her personal life.
Speaking to PEOPLE at the Step Up Inspiration Awards, she said: “Her Instagram says it all. We have spoken, and she’s doing great. Sofia has always had such a wonderful family that surrounds her and wonderful friends.
“Sofía has always been my role model as far as embracing being a woman and womanly, and yet also being powerful and not… I always felt like you had to compromise one for the other.”
Joking about seeing Taylor Swift comfort Sophie Turner after her recent split from Joe Jonas, Bowen – who split from Scott Phillips in 2018 after 13 years of marriage – added: “She doesn’t need Taylor Swift to take her to a game. She’s good. But I’m super happy that all those other girls are going to games with T Swifty. I wish she had been around for me.”
Bowen has previously spoken about Vergara, insisting she “sure don’t need” a relationship.
She said: “Everything she does, she does with grace.
“And she rises above and she just goes forward. She’s warm and generous and giving to everybody around her. I have no doubt that if she wishes to be in a relationship she will be, but she sure don’t need one.”
