Sofia Vergara offered a candid insight into her relationship preferences on a recent episode of America's Got Talent. This revelation comes shortly after the 51-year-old’s separation from her husband Joe Manganiello.
During the show the actress and television personality engaged in some playful banter with stand-up comedian Ahren Belisle, 28, igniting speculation about her romantic interests.
Host Terry Crews, 55, seized the moment to address a burning question circulating on social media: what is Sofia looking for in a partner post her split from Joe, 46, after a seven-year marriage? The actress responded with grace and humor, stating: “Well, I think what every girl wants.”

“Someone healthy, someone handsome, someone that has a great sense of humor.” Howie playfully interjected once more, humorously exclaiming: “I'm married!' Sofia's criteria rounded off with the essential quality of self-contentment, as she stated, 'Someone that is happy with himself, that's it.”
These remarks offered a candid window into Sofia's perspective on relationships as she embarks on a new chapter of her life.

They follow her separation from actor Joe, a journey marked by a shared statement expressing the difficult decision to divorce. The couple, known for their love and mutual respect, gracefully requested privacy as they navigate this new phase.
The story of Sofia and Joe's romance began in 2014, culminating in a heartwarming engagement on a Christmas Eve. Their love story took center stage on November 21, 2015, as they exchanged vows in a dreamy ceremony in Palm Beach, Florida. The enchanting tale, however, did not lead to the expansion of their family with children.

In contrast, Joe Manganiello's relationship with Sofia marked his first known experience of married life, with no prior marriages or children.
As the world learns of their separation, both Sofia and Joe seem to be embracing the transition with resilience and grace. Sofia's radiant smile was on full display during a joyful dinner outing with friends at Dante Restaurant in Beverly Hills on August 14. Her vivacity illuminated the evening, reflecting a sense of newfound independence.
Meanwhile, Joe Manganiello showcased his dedication to wellness and routine. Recently captured by photographers, he was seen diligently completing errands after a rigorous workout session.
