Sofia Vergara’S Niece Claudia Is Stealing The Socal Spotlight! on ONDA LA

Sofia’s Got Family Competition in Hollywood!

Down here in Tinseltown, Sofia Vergara has been the reigning queen of sass and style for years, but hold up—there’s a fresh face in the fam ready to share the spotlight. Meet Claudia Vergara, Sofia’s niece, who’s carving out her own path as a presenter and influencer with that unmistakable Vergara charm. It’s like the red carpet just got a double dose of Colombian fuego!

Claudia isn’t just riding on her aunt’s coattails—she’s got the talent and hustle to match. With a vibe that screams SoCal summer energy, she’s turning heads and building her own empire right here in LA. And let’s be real, when you’ve got Sofia hyping you up, you’re basically Hollywood royalty from day one.

Claudia’s Roots and Rise in the City of Angels

Claudia, 32, is the daughter of Sofia’s late older brother, and the resemblance between aunt and niece is straight-up uncanny. A few years back, Sofia introduced Claudia to the world, giving her a major boost—and girl, did she run with it! From the streets of DTLA to the glitz of Hollywood, Claudia’s making her mark with a style that’s all her own.

Their bond is tight, and you can feel the family love in every post or shout-out. It’s like watching a mentor pass the torch on a sunny day in Venice Beach—pure magic. Claudia’s got that same megawatt smile and charisma that made Sofia a household name, and we’re obsessed.

“I’ve learned so much from my aunt Sofia—she’s my biggest cheerleader and inspiration,” Claudia shared in a recent chat about her journey.

Fashion Dreams and TV Screens

Claudia’s not just a pretty face—she’s got the creds to back it up. She studied Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising right here in LA (a total hotspot for creatives), and after graduating, she worked for none other than Oscar de la Renta. Talk about starting at the top!

Her passion for fashion and lifestyle shines through in her clothing line, Violetta Rose, which she launched back in 2012. Sofia’s been a huge supporter, rocking and promoting the brand like the proud tía she is. On top of that, Claudia’s been killing it as a presenter on Latinx Now!, proving she’s got the chops for the camera just like her aunt.

A Side Note on Sofia’s Ex, Joe Manganiello

While Claudia’s star is rising, there’s a little side drama in the Vergara orbit. Sofia’s ex-husband, Joe Manganiello, has been spotted acting a bit out of character lately—think Malibu-style drama with a mysterious edge. We’re not saying it’s connected to Claudia’s glow-up, but the timing has tongues wagging on Melrose.

Whatever’s going on with Joe, it’s clear the Vergara women are the ones to watch right now. Claudia’s bringing fresh energy to the family name, and we can’t wait to see what she conquers next in this crazy town we call home.
