How many times has Vergara tied the knot?

Vergara was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, on July 10, 1972, to parents Margarita Vergara de Vergara and Julio Enrique Vergara Robayo.

The Latin beauty met Joe Gonzalez in high school and when she was 18, they tied the knot in front of their families and close friends. When Vergara’s work schedule became more demanding it put a strain on their marriage and the couple agreed to divorce in 1993.

Vergara began dating New York businessman Nick Loeb in 2010. They became engaged but called things off and ended their relationship in 2014.

The following year she married her second husband True Blood and Magic Mike actor Joe Manganiello.

Does Vergara have children?

Vergara and Manganiello do not have any kids together. She has one child with her ex-husband.

The Modern Family alum and Gonzalez’s son, Manolo, was born in September 1991.

According to Parade, Manolo’s father is present in his life and on good terms with Vergara and Manganiello. In fact, whenever Gonzalez visits he stays with them at their home.

Manolo has done modeling and is an aspiring actor.

What is Vergara’s net worth?

Vergara was discovered on a beach in her home country. After starring in a Mexican telenovela, she became a Univision television personality in the mid-1990s.

She made her film debut in 2002 alongside Tim Allen and Rene Russo in Big Trouble. She was featured in a handful of other movies including Chasing Papi and Meet the Browns before joining Modern Family in 2009. Celebrity Net Worth noted that in 2018 she was making $500,000 per episode. By 2019, Vergara was the highest-paid actress on television and had a number of endorsement deals. Today, she has an estimated net worth of $180 million.

The actress isn’t leaving the small screen behind post-Modern Family and is eager to join the AGT judges panel.

She told TV Line, “It’s amazing to know that you can actually change the course of people’s live for the good.”

Simon Cowell is also excited to welcome her on board.
