Sofia Vergara isn’t mincing words when it comes to her dating priorities and dealbreakers. Nearly a year following her split from ex-husband Joe Manganiello, the “Modern Family” icon is navigating the single life with a clear vision of what she’s looking for in her next relationship.
In an interview with People magazine for The Beautiful Issue, Sofia lays it all out. “Health. Money. Fun. With kids,” she declares, succinctly outlining her relationship wishlist. “That’s it. That’s all I want.”
Given the circumstances of her divorce, where differing desires regarding children played a significant role, Sofia’s stance on expanding her family is firm. “No more kids,” she asserts, emphasizing the importance of this dealbreaker.
Reflecting on her past marriage and the issue of having children, Sofia delves into the complexities of motherhood. “I was a mother already. I know what it means to be a good mother or to try to be the best mother that you can, and that takes a lot of sacrifices, takes a lot of energy,” she shares candidly. “I totally respect where anyone wants to be a mom after 50. I didn’t think because of my career, the way I live my life, the way my marriage was, that it was fair to bring a kid to this world, and I’m not going to be able to give 100 percent.”
Despite her firm stance on motherhood, Sofia remains open to love, whether it comes in the form of a Hollywood romance or elsewhere. “I mean, it’s already hard for a 50-something-year-old woman to find someone,” she admits. “I’m not going to be now picky about, ‘Oh, he can only be a doctor. Oh, he can only be an astronaut.’”
And speaking of doctors, Sofia’s rumored romance with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Justin Saliman has been making headlines. While she remains coy about her dating status, insiders have spilled the beans, suggesting that things are heating up between the two. Sources reveal that they’re enjoying each other’s company and that their relationship is progressing steadily.
Despite the whispers and speculations, Sofia is taking her time, prioritizing her happiness and well-being above all else. With her characteristic humor and authenticity, she’s navigating the dating scene with grace and clarity, proving that when it comes to matters of the heart, knowing what you want is half the battle. And if the rumors are true, it seems Sofia might have found exactly what she’s been looking for.
