Sofía Vergara allegedly stormed off the set of America’s Got Talent after Howie Mandel once again made a joke about her recent breakup with Joe Manganiello. During Wednesday’s episode of the show, the actress was sitting on a seat for a lie detector test, revealing details about her fellow judges and her time on Modern Family. However, when co-host Howie Mandel asked if she was “interested in” anyone in the audience, she abruptly ended the segment, as reported by Entertainment Tonight. Sofia apparently shouted, “That’s it!” and took off the cuff on her arm, returning to her regular seat at the judges’ table.
This is not the first time Howie Mandel has teased Sofia Vergara about her single status. In August, while critiquing a ventriloquist, he joked, “If you’re looking for eligible bachelors, you should’ve talked to Sofía. She’s in the market right now.” Sofia laughed off the comment, but host Terry Crews intervened, stating, “No. We are not doing that.”
However, the following week, Sofia had a flirty response when a contestant referred to her as “Sofía Viagra” during a stand-up comedy set. In response, she exclaimed, “I’m single!”
In July, Sofia and Joe Manganiello confirmed their split after seven years of marriage. They released a joint statement, saying, “We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.” Sofia and Joe started dating in 2014 and got married the following year.
Prior to Joe, Sofia was engaged to Nick Loeb from 2012 to 2014. The former couple fought in court over frozen embryos. Sofia has a son, Manolo, from her previous marriage to Joe Gonzalez.
