Sofia Vergara, the beloved judge on America’s Got Talent, has found herself in the spotlight once again. This time, it’s due to a joke made by Howie Mandel about her love life. As a newly single woman after almost a decade, the question of whether she’s interested in someone from the audience was raised during a lie-detector test.
However, Sofia chose not to answer the question, leaving the audience and Howie disappointed. This incident has sparked some backlash online towards Howie, especially since it’s not the first time he has made a joke about Sofia’s singleness.
Just a few weeks ago, during a segment on the show, Howie suggested Sofia as an option for a young contestant’s puppet’s love interest. While Sofia seemed to take it in stride and even laughed, her fans online didn’t respond positively.
In response to this online backlash, Howie Mandel defended himself in an interview, stating that he didn’t think the joke was “too soon” and that Sofia herself found it funny. He emphasized that he would never do anything to hurt a friend and fellow co-worker.
On July 17, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello made a joint announcement, revealing their separation after seven years of marriage. Just two days later, Joe filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences,” a common reason in the celebrity world. While the details of their divorce remain private, the couple expressed that it was a mutual decision and asked for privacy during this challenging time.
It’s been rumored that the couple had a prenuptial agreement, and speculation suggests that their differences on starting a family may have played a role in their decision. Sofia, who already has one child from a previous relationship, celebrated her 51st birthday shortly before the announcement of their separation. It seems that conflicting desires regarding having children may have contributed to the rift between them.
Sofia Vergara, a strong and resilient woman, is now embarking on a new chapter in her life. She has always captivated us with her talent and charm, and we have no doubt that she will continue to shine in whatever she sets her mind to. Let’s support and celebrate Sofia as she faces new beginnings with grace and strength.
