Sofia Vergara’s Divorce Made an ‘Interesting and Very Difficult’ Year
Sofia Vergara recently opened up about the past year and maneuvering through the difficult challenges that have sprung up in her personal life and the entertainment industry. While talking to People magazine at her Toty Transforma AHA launch party a few days ago, the television personality admitted, that her year had been “interesting” and “difficult.”
The 51-year-old actress referenced her highly publicized divorce from her husband, Joe Manganiello, and the SAG-AFTRA strike “that went on for so long.” But, she believes that there’s a brighter future ahead. “I think all the things are resolving, everything is going to be okay, and I’m very excited for next year.”

One of the things she says she’s looking forward to is her new Netflix show, called Griselda, which premieres in January 2024. “I start the world press tour right after New Year’s, so I’m ready for that. It’s going to be exciting,” she said. When asked if she thought that 2024 would be a “fresh start” for her, the actress remains hopeful but adds, “I don’t know if there’s such a thing as a fresh start at 51.” The America’s Got Talent judge then admitted, “I don’t know if I’m fresh anymore, but I’m just excited.” She also teased that there’s more on the way, adding, “I have a lot of projects for next year that hopefully people will love as well.”
Vergara has also appeared to move on from Manganiello, having been photographed on multiple dates lately with Beverly Hills-based orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. Vergara’s new beau comes months after she announced her divorce from Manganiello, 46, after over seven years of marriage. “We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the former couple shared in a joint statement at the time. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
