Joe Manganiello Dishes On How He Got Sofia Vergara To Go Out With Him

Jun 26, 2015

Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara are engaged to be married, and Joe Manganiello has finally revealed how he got his celebrity crush to first go out with him.

“I’ve had a crush on Sofia for years,” he said. “So I got her number from Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Sofia’s Modern Family co-star) and I called her the next day but she was filming Hot Pursuit in New Orleans.

I flew out there and took her out on a date. She’s blamed me ever since for ruining her life because she was supposed to be single. But I didn’t let that happen. And here we are,” Joe revealed.

Like a real gentleman, Manganiello waited for Vergara to be single, and when she broke up with Nick Loeb he knew he had to act fast.

Six months after their first date, the 38-year-old actor asked the 42-year-old Modern Family beauty to marry him and she said “yes”. Their wedding is rumoured to take place in the fall, although the location has still not been disclosed.
