It wasn’t just Sofia’s professional life that hit the headlines, in 2010 she started dating producer and politician, Nick Loeb. The pair got engaged in July 2012, but the romance was short lived and they parted ways in May 2014. One year later a legal battle over the future of two frozen embryos that were produced by in vitro fertilization while they were together was splashed across the media. Nick fought to use the frozen embryos despite an agreement stipulating that nothing could be done with them without the consent of both parties. Vergara’s lawyer confirmed that she wanted them to remain ‘frozen indefinitely’ and in 2016 Loeb dropped the case. At the White House Correspondent’s Dinner in DC in July 2014 Sofia met ‘True Blood’ star Joe Manganiello, the duo had a whirlwind romance and got engaged just six months later. They married in Palm Beach, Florida on November 21st, 2015, the same year Sofia was awarded with the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Steering through a lot of hardships to achieve success, Sofia proved that hard work and perseverance pays off in the end, pulling in a whopping $42.5 million over the past year — nearly double the next highest-paid actress on Forbes’ list. Vergara’s riches come not only from her salary on the longrunning ABC comedy, but also from a slew of endorsements such as SharkNinja Coffee and Rooms to Go furniture and if the last year is anything to go by, we can’t see this starlet slowing down any time soon.
