Back in the saddle! Sof\u00eda Vergara<\/strong><\/a> was spotted having lunch with Formula 1 race car driver Lewis Hamilton<\/strong>, and the two looked to be getting flirty.<\/p>\n The former Modern Family<\/em> star, 52, wore a long white coat that she paired with a black top and jeans for the outing, according to the photos published by TMZ<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday, January 15. Lewis, 40, had on a brown fur bucket-style hat with a plaid button-down shirt, and a chocolate-colored jacket and jeans. Both parties were all smiles as they stood outside in the chilly New York City weather.<\/p>\n The Griselda<\/em> star was previously married to Joe Manganiello<\/strong> for seven years. Sof\u00eda and Joe, 48, met through her former costar, Jesse Tyler Ferguson<\/strong>, at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association dinner in 2014. She was engaged to Nick Loeb<\/strong> at the time, but a few weeks later the two called off their engagement. After Sof\u00eda and Nick, 49, announced their split, Joe reached out and asked for her number.<\/p>\n In August 2014, Sof\u00eda confirmed that she and Joe were officially an item.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know I\u2019m just having a great time and it\u2019s a special time in my life and I\u2019m trying not to think too much about it,\u201d Sof\u00eda told Extra<\/em><\/a> at the time. \u201cIt\u2019s something very new so we will see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n The True Blood actor popped the question on Christmas Eve in 2014, and on November 22, 2015, Sof\u00eda walked down the aisle.<\/p>\n \u201cComing to grips with the idea that someone who is not related to you could possibly love you that much. She was it for me,\u201d Joe later told Cigar Aficionado<\/em><\/a> in April 2018. \u201cPeople say things like, \u2018Marriage and relationships are work.\u2019 But it\u2019s not. Life is hard. Having somebody to help you deal with it is the greatest thing that ever happened.\u201d<\/p>\n Two years later, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, Sof\u00eda gushed about quarantining with the Magic Mike<\/em> star.<\/p>\n \u201cActually, we\u2019ve been very good. It\u2019s like we haven\u2019t got under each other\u2019s skins,\u201d the America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em> judge<\/a> said during an interview with People<\/em><\/a> in May 2020. \u201cWe can\u2019t complain, actually. We\u2019re all staying at home. I have a big house so I\u2019ve been able to have my son, my niece, my husband and three dogs. We\u2019ve been lucky that we\u2019ve been able to be comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n However, their relationship wasn\u2019t meant to be<\/a> and they announced their decision to divorce in July 2023.<\/p>\n \u201cAs 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,\u201d Sof\u00eda and Joe said in a joint statement.<\/p>\n The Hot Pursuit<\/em> actress later revealed that she and Joe broke up because he wanted children<\/a> and that was something she wasn\u2019t interested in. Sof\u00eda already shares son Manolo, 33, with ex Joe Gonzalez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cMy marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn\u2019t want to be an old mom,\u201d Sof\u00eda told People<\/em><\/a> during a January 2024 interview. \u201cI feel it\u2019s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that\u2019s not for me anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
