Sofía Vergara and her new partner, Joe Manganiello, were recently seen on a dinner date in Beverly Hills, California. In an interview with *PEOPLE* in May, Vergara expressed her frustration with the exaggerated and misinterpreted nature of public attention.

She acknowledged the challenges of life and relationships, particularly when they are scrutinized in the public eye due to their fame. This relationship marks Vergara’s first since her separation from her ex-husband last year.

Following their seven-year marriage, the couple announced their decision to part ways in July 2023, and their divorce was finalized in February. Vergara revealed that the primary reason for their split was her ex-husband’s desire to have children, which she did not share.

However, her ex-husband disputed this claim, stating that they had discussed this matter extensively early in their relationship and that he had made a commitment to stay regardless. It is clear that both parties have moved on from their previous marriage, with Vergara now focusing on her new relationship with Manganiello.
