Sofia Vergara’s One Dating Rule
Sofía Vergara attends the "Griselda" premiere at The Fillmore Miami Beach on January 23, 2024 in Miami Beach, Florida.
Sofía Vergara knows what she wants as she re-enters the dating scene. The Griselda star appeared on Wednesday night’s (January 24) episode of Watch What Happens Live, telling host Andy Cohen of her one dating rule. “To me, they can’t be younger than 50, I’m 51,” Vergara said. “Okay, 49.” As for what she’s looking for in a man, the Modern Family alum simply noted, “I’m intelligent.”
Recently, Vergara shared that her seven-year marriage to Magic Mike star Joe Manganiello ended because they weren’t on the same page about having children. Vergara, 51, told El País earlier this month that Manganiello, who is four years younger than her, “wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom.” She told the publication that his being younger and having different wants broke up the marriage. Sofia added that it wouldn’t be fair to the baby if she had a child with Manganiello at her age. Clarifying that she respects who does it, the actress added, “That’s not for me anymore.”
Vergara has a son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, from her previous marriage to Joe Gonzalez. She had Manolo at 19, and now that he is in his 30s, Vergara stated she is ready to be a grandmother, not a new mother. If love comes along, Vergara needs a man with his own kids because there’s no chance with her nearing menopause.
Also on Wednesday, Vergara appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show as part of her press tour for Griselda, which is now streaming on Netflix. While on the show, Clarkson hilariously messes with Vergara, telling her that her transformation into “The Cocaine Godmother” seemed like not much was done to her natural face. Gasping at her statement, Vergara says, “What! Are you crazy?!” She listed the wig, teeth, and plastic “from here to here” as all the different ways she had to transform into the unrecognizable character. Her sarcasm seems to go above Clarkson’s head, or perhaps she was playing along just as well. Either way, it was a hilarious part of her segment. Watch below:
Netflix New Releases for January 2024
Streaming giant Netflix has a lot of highly-anticipated movies to offer their subscribers. From comedies to grisly dramas, the streamer’s January releases feature some of our favorite actors and producers. With the writers and actors strikes over, streamers and production companies are releasing projects that have been held off due to production being shut down in the latter half of 2023.
New Film and Television Series in 2024
For Netflix, one of the streamer’s highest-profile new series, 3 Body Problem, was bumped out of 2023 and into 2024. This is the first post-Game of Thrones show from creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss, arriving in the Spring. The sci-fi drama has been in the works since 2020, starring Eiza González, Benedict Wong, and Game of Thrones alums John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, and Jonathan Pryce. Additionally, the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series is just as highly anticipated for fans of the beloved original Nickelodeon animated series. It will be coming to the streamer in late February.
Sofia Vergara stars as real-life Colombian cartel boss Griselda Blanco in a miniseries, looking completely unrecognizable. In it, she creates one of the most profitable cartels in history. With six episodes that are each an hour long, Griselda creator Eric Newman said Vergara was perfect for the role “not only because she, like Griselda, is a single mother who came to America from Colombia with nothing and built an empire, but because it was unexpected of her to do. Sofia has been thought of one way, a beautiful and brilliant comedic actress, and she is so much more than that.”
For the movie fanatics, Netflix has a few standout films kicking off January alone. Another standout project is Society of the Snow, the harrowing story of the Uruguayan rugby team that crash-landed in the Andes mountains in 1972. Kevin Hart offers a new comedy in a heist film, and Dan Levy directs and stars in a dramedy titled Good Grief. Coming in March, Millie Bobby Brown stars in a fantasy action movie called Damsel. Later in the month, Lindsay Lohan stars in her second rom-com, Irish Wish. April brings Zack Snyder’s sequel, Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver.
