A Night Out at Chateau Marmont

Sizzling with the energy of a classic Hollywood evening, Sofia Vergara was caught in a delightful moment of intimacy with the charming Spanish actor Manuel Vega. The 53-year-old actress and model stepped out in style at the iconic LA hotspot Chateau Marmont, two years after her split from Joe Manganiello.

As Sofia and Manuel left the celebrity-favored venue, the pair shared a heartwarming embrace and Vega planted a gentle kiss on Sofia’s cheek. While it’s still in the air whether this is the beginning of a romantic chapter, their comfort around each other was undeniable.

“I didn’t want to be an old mom,” Sofia shared candidly in an interview, opening up about her past relationship decisions.

Sofia's Style and Evening Look

Embodying the quintessential LA chic, Sofia rocked a black silk sleeveless top paired with blue jeans and a brown leather jacket. Her high heels added a touch of glam to her casual ensemble. Her hair, let loose in a middle-part, highlighted her timeless beauty complemented by subtle makeup.

Manuel Vega, a notable name in Spanish-language cinema, donned a laid-back look with a white graphic T-shirt, baggy black trousers, and a monogrammed Louis Vuitton jacket casually draped over his arm.

Looking Back at Vergara’s Love Life

Vergara's love life has been under the spotlight since her high-profile breakup with Manganiello, which was concluded in 2023 after seven years of marriage. The cause of their separation, as Sofia later revealed, was differing desires about family life.

Recently, she has been linked to Douglas Chabbott, a businessman with whom she was seen cozying up in Las Vegas and Pasadena last fall. However, her stroll with Vega suggests that love might just be taking a new direction in sunny Southern California.

Joe Manganiello’s Side of the Story

Adding a twist to the tale, Joe Manganiello addressed the rumors about his desire for a family in an interview with Men's Journal in July 2024. "There’s been a lot said in the press about me wanting a family. That’s simply not true," he clarified, recounting their attempts to start a family in the early days of their marriage.

Vergara, who became a mother at 19, expressed her readiness to embrace the role of a grandmother rather than a mother. The Colombian star remains open to love, but her future partner, she insists, should come with children of his own.

As Sofia enjoys her single life in LA’s vibrant scene, only time will tell where her heart will settle next.
