Sofia Vergara ‘doing great’ following separation from husband Joe Manganiello

Sofia Vergara is “doing great” following her split from Joe Manganiello.

The 51-year-old star and her actor husband announced in July that they had separated after seven years of marriage and Sofia’s Modern Family co-star Julie Bowen says that she is coping well thanks to the support of her “wonderful family”.

Julie, 53, told People at the Step Up Inspiration Awards on Friday (Oct 6): “Her Instagram says it all. We have spoken, and she’s doing great. Sofia has always had such a wonderful family that surrounds her and wonderful friends.”

Bowen also joked that her pal does not need Taylor Swift to take her to an NFL game after the Anti-Hero singer took a posse of A-listers to watch her apparent new love interest Travis Kelce in action for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The actress quipped: “She doesn’t need Taylor Swift to take her to a game. She’s good.

“But I’m super happy that all those other girls are going to games with T Swifty. I wish she had been around for me.”

Julie and Sofia worked together for over a decade on Modern Family and the Horrible Bosses actress considers her former colleague to be a “role model”.

She said: “Sofia has always been my role model as far as embracing being a woman and womanly, and yet also powerful and not… I always felt like you had to compromise one for the other.”

Julie had previously voiced her support for the America’s Got Talent judge for doing everything “with grace”.

The star said: “She rises above and just goes forward. She’s warm and generous and giving to everybody around her. I have no doubt that if she wishes to be in a relationship she will be, but she sure don’t need one.”
