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.

Following the reportedly two-hour lunch, Sofia was spotted conversing with Lewis and smiling widely outside the restaurant before she got into an SUV and drove off.

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.
