Sofia Vergara, the beloved judge on America’s Got Talent, has recently found herself at the center of a joke made by fellow judge Howie Mandel. But let’s not forget all the amazing things this talented and strong woman has accomplished!
An Unexpected Turns of Events
After taking part in a lie-detector test on the show, Vergara was playfully asked by Mandel if there was anyone in the audience she’s interested in. This question was in reference to the fact that she is now single for the first time in nearly a decade. Unfortunately, Vergara decided not to answer the question and walked back to her seat, leaving the audience slightly disappointed.
This incident has sparked some online backlash towards Mandel, especially since this is not the first time he has made a joke about Vergara’s singleness. Just a few weeks ago, he made a similar joke when a young contestant on the show was looking for an eligible bachelor for her puppet. Mandel suggested that she should have talked to Sofia, as she is currently single and available. While Vergara seemed to laugh at the joke, her fans online did not take it well.
In response to the backlash, Mandel defended himself in an interview with Extra. He stated that he didn’t think the joke was “too soon” and mentioned that Vergara herself found it funny. Mandel emphasized that he wouldn’t do anything to hurt a friend and fellow co-worker. Let’s hope they can all bounce back from this and continue to bring joy to audiences on America’s Got Talent!
The End of a Beautiful Chapter
On July 17, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello announced their separation after seven years of marriage. Just two days later, Joe filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” While the details of their divorce remain private, the couple released a joint statement expressing that it was a mutual decision.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” they stated on July 17, listing the separation date as July 2. They also requested privacy during this transition phase in their lives. It’s important to remember that relationships can change, and sometimes parting ways is the best decision for everyone involved.
It has been reported that the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place, and speculation suggests that Joe wanted a divorce because Vergara did not want to have children. The couple originally met in 2014 and got married in 2015, but it seems that conflicting desires regarding starting a family caused a rift between them. Relationships can be complicated, and it’s important to respect the decisions made by both parties.
Sofia Vergara, who already has one child from a previous relationship, celebrated her 51st birthday shortly before the announcement of their separation. She is an incredibly talented and successful woman who inspires many with her charm, humor, and determination. Let’s celebrate Sofia Vergara for the amazing person she is and continue to support her journey both on and off the screen!
