Sofia Vergara sparks romance rumors with Formula One superstar Lewis Hamilton

Sofia Vergara, the 52-year-old 'Modern Family' star, and the 40-year-old racer were sitting next to one other at a restaurant table, accompanied by friends.

According to TMZ, observers claimed Sofia was so preoccupied with the table conversation that she barely touched the food that was placed in front of her.

Lewis chose a more laid-back style with a brown hat and matching t-shirt, while Sofia wore a stylish black top and trousers. The two appeared to be flirting outside the restaurant before Sofia drove off, according to witnesses.

Sofia has dated several younger men over the years, such as her 48-year-old second husband Joe Manganiello, and her 49-year-old ex-fiance Nick Loeb.

Meanwhile, Lewis notably maintained an on-and-off relationship with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 until their final breakup in 2015.

Over the past ten years, Lewis has been linked to supermodels Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, and he has since denied having a romantic relationship with Rihanna.

Sofia Vergara last dated orthopedic physician Justin Saliman

'Griselda' star Sofia Vergara last dated wealthy orthopedic physician Justin Saliman. However, she declared she was single again in October 2024.

Sofia and Justin were first sighted together in October 2023, and they were spotted on multiple occasions before she revealed she was back on the dating market.

According to Us Weekly, Sofia stated she "was talking yesterday about it because now I’m single so…kind of single" when asked about dating in New York as compared to Los Angeles.

Sofia's first public relationship was with Justin since her marriage to 'Magic Mike' star Joe Manganiello ended in 2023.

She previously married her high school sweetheart Joe Gonzalez in the early 1990s, and the two have a 33-year-old son named Manolo Gonzalez Vergara.
