Sofía Vergara is living her best single life amid her recent divorce from Joe Manganiello, and apparently Howie Mandel had no problem chatting about her relationship status to…literally everyone during last night’s episode of America’s Got Talent. Which was very much live.
After watching a ventriloquist performance involving a puppet being set up with an eligible bachelor (just go with it!), Howie said, “If I have word of advice: if you’re looking for eligible bachelors, you should’ve talked to Sofía because she’s in the market right now.”
The cameras were panned out for Sofía’s initial reaction to his comment, but once we got a zoom-in she was laughing and throwing her hands up in the air, so seems like she took Howie’s comment in stride. Meanwhile, America’s Got Talent host Terry Crews said “No! No! We are not doing that here!”
FYI, Sofía and Joe announced their split in a statement to Page Six in July, 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 for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
A source told Us Weekly that there was no drama behind the breakup, saying “Joe and Sofia split because they were living different lives. There wasn’t cheating or anything like that. They both realized that they were rarely on the same page.”
The added, “She would rather go out with friends and he would rather stay home, so they wouldn’t spend a lot of time together. They’ve been living separate lives for about a year now, so it was time to call things off.”
