Last week, I got around to reading Joe Manganiello’s full People Mag cover interview. It was really obvious that Joe was thrilled that he finally got a People Mag cover and he basically told People everything they could ever want to know about him and what he looks for in a lady. He talked at length about what kind of body type he goes for, and then he cites Sofia Vergara as his idea of a “perfect” lady. Which, to be fair, is perfectly reasonable. Sofia Vergara is MY type as well. I doubt I’m alone. Well, guess what? Sofia and Joe might be hitting it. It seems like Sofia’s last breakup with Nick Loeb finally took and Sofia was in the market for a new piece. Shh, don’t speak, Meathead. You’ll ruin it.
Magic Mike actor Joe Manganiello is working his, well, magic on a lucky new lady. The True Blood hunk, 37, is dating none other than Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara, multiple sources exclusively tell Us Weekly.
“It’s very, very new,” one insider says. “They’re having fun and getting to know each other.”
Another source notes that they were introduced at the White House Correspondents Dinner in May, but that Vergara was there with then-fiance Nick Loeb. “That’s the first time Sofia and Joe met,” the source says.
Recently, though, a connection developed. Manganiello even visited Vergara over the July 4th holiday weekend. (The 41-year-old Colombian actress is currently in the Big Easy filming Don’t Mess With Texas with Reese Witherspoon.)
In fact, the new lovebirds — who met at the White House Correspondents Dinner in May — were spotted dining together at the Louisiana city’s Li’l Dizzy’s Cafe on Sunday, July 6, an onlooker tells Us. “They were very friendly and took pictures with other diners,” the eyewitness says, adding that they shared a table with some regular patrons since the restaurant was so crowded. During the meal, “they held each other and kissed several times.”
“Sofia is Joe’s dream girl!” a third insider adds. “He’s been smitten with her for years. He’s always had a huge crush on her. Things are going well for them so far.” Says the first source: “Sofia had no idea that he had been crushing on her for a while.”
My first reaction was “ew, gross,” and that’s all on Joe. But as I’m thinking about it… I guess I can kind of see it. I think Sofia is looking for fun. She doesn’t want forever. She doesn’t want a wet-blanket boyfriend. She wants hot sex and vacations and someone who won’t slow her down. If Joe doesn’t speak, maybe it will last. And yes… I could totally see how the sex would be hot. Gross-hot, but hot. Lots of grunting.

I think they make a beautiful couple, and I really like them both! Good luck!
Agree, he’s a lot better than the douchebag she was engaged to. I ilke them together.
I have to agree. He’s an upgrade over her ex. Ah, if they are a couple, let them enjoy it!
I agree. I am happy she is with someone new so she won’t be tempted to go back to her sketchy ex. I feel like he is going to end up in prison some day.
I am all about all that grunting. I want to be there! And totally perv out 🙂
Anna, I shamefully agree with you…
I had to LOL over the grunting comment. Still snickering.
*sigh* I like a man who grunts. I consider it a gold star of achievement when any discernible sound is uttered by my partner.
I took that too far, but in for a penny…
I agree. ^^^^ I don’t know much about him, but good luck to them!!! The last guy … Just seemed kind of like the wet blanket type.
I think Manjello & Viagra make the perfect couple. 😀
They do. ‘Perfect’ being the operative word. They are surreal in their physical beauty. Viagra, snort.
They both strike me as pretty people of little substance so yes, they match well together in that sense.
I dunno about “little substance” those are at least an F-cup…not sure about Sofia’s size though.
That’ll be the hardest mold around
Heehee. Where’ve you been, blue marie ?
blue marie! Cues “I miss you, I missss youuu”…

There’s no other way to say it.
Dying a little bit daily without internet. (I would not survive off the grid) We just moved and had to wait a week and a half to get someone out here to have a look, booo!! How have you guys been?
(nicely done mimi, I had forgotten that song existed)
What a beautiful, perfectly timed couple! Less than 24 hours after his character is killed two magazines release almost the exact same story/statement. Even Kaley Cuoco and Superman are side eyeing you, not-Magic Mike.
Ha, I was coming to say this! Very pretty, but also very PR.
I like these two together… hot!
He’s very likely going to treat her a lot better than her total douche ex-fiance, so good for her. This could be a cute couple.
She dated Tom Cruise as well. Not sure about her taste in men….
She dated him, but she also fled pretty quickly, I’ll give her credit for that!
Meh. She auditioned for Cruise and the Xenu Pack. I wouldn’t call that dating. Now, dinners and hot, grunting sex with Man-Jello… that’s dating! And definitely an upgrade from her hooker-loving Charlie-Sheen-school-of-love graduate ex-fiance.
Oops, did I write that out loud? 😀
Go get it, girl!
You know what? They make sense… they’re on the same fame level and both play the game happily.
I wouldn’t mind some hot, grunting, sweaty sex with Joe Man-Jello mmmm. He seems like a decent, fun guy. Let her have some fun 🙂
Does she have hair extensions or is that just the Latina with tons of gorgeous hair thing going on?
It’s the Latina fabulousness. My mother has hair like hers but she lets it be jet black. It’s glorious and no extensions! Sadly, I did not inherit it 🙁
I know your grief Steph, I know your grief. I have thin hair and the humidity right now makes it not full of flyaways… not a bit of bounce… not even frizzy… but damaged looking. Yay.
Her hair is naturally blonde-ish. She has to dye it dark brown for Modern Family because the network couldn’t understand “blonde latina”.
Just assume that anyone with hair longer than their shoulders in Hollywood has hair extensions. There’s varying levels–not all are full-on wigs, maybe a few clip-ins to make things fuller. It’s all about the illusion.
I doubt it’s intended to be a long term thing. But in the meantime, hot monkey sex will be readily available, and lots of it.
I’m thinking it’s a PR stunt.
If it is a PR stunt, it’s at least believable-certainly worth picturing! And even though I am not a fan of his, he doesn’t seem…abusive like the last guy she was with. He seemed like a real -ahole. I’m sure these two have mirrors everywhere-and I don’t blame them.
Hot. More believable than the MRod-Zacfron coupling.
Still confused about that one. I mean, how do the parts fit???
Yes. Makes sense. Totally. From one colombian lady to another- Get it, sofia!
At least joes good looking. Her ex not so much.
Love them as a couple! Good looking people!
He’s not a meathead. I thought he was engaging on WWHL. He has a degree from Carnegie Mellon, so not a total meathead, even if not super interesting. Sofia isn’t some intellectual anyway, let’s face it. She mostly just trades on her hotness and not too much else interesting from her in interviews, except being funny and playing on her looks. Her last boyfriend was gross. Joe doesn’t like the typical Hollywood too skinny actresses. He said he doesn’t find that attractive and that he is too big of a guy and likes a curvy woman. Sofia is thinner than she used to be, but she’s still a shapely woman with those boobs and she has hips even when thinner, not like a boy’s hips. So they seem like a cute match. I know when I saw him on some morning interview show he had a girlfriend he had been dating for a year. I guess they broke up. Plus I remember a poster on here once saying he was at a place she was and he was so nice to her and also friendly to everyone in there, very unpretentious, non-celebrity acting. Even lower-tier actors can come in places acting like douchebags. I feel like she’s that way also, not a diva, even with how famous she’s become.
Well said. BTW, Sofia has a lot of heart. She told a story on a talk show about a time when she was at chateau Marmont and gave Kaiser’s ex GButler money because she over heard the valets talking in Spanish about how he couldn’t pay for his parking. So she gave him money for that and some extra in case he needed food. I’ve loved her ever since.
@Jen34 I saw her and Butler on the talk show flirting it up over the valet incident. Since then I’ve always thought they wld be a perfect couple. She is his type and at least age appropriate. But I can see her and Joe too..
I agree. One cannot be a meat-head AND hold a degree from Carnegie Mellon.
I like how people bring up that he went to Carnegie Mellon in like EVERY POST about him. Ok, fine, but he has crafted an image for himself as a grunting meathead. That is his own fault, through his own choices and lack of acting ability.
Why are his fans so defensive about CM? It is a good school, but people are making fun of the fact that Joe keeps mentioning he went there for acting even though it is moving in to 20 years ago and he only went after there got in his junior year. Most actors are insecure, but when he is constantly mentioning it in every forum, it is hilarious and transparent. Show me (and not a piece of paper), don’t tell me you can act. And for the love of God, please no don’t bring up a guest spot years ago on a canceled sitcom as evidence of his acting powers.
Plus, if you have been around at all, you have met people from even the ivy leagues who don’t know their ass from their elbows, so…
I was going to say this, thank you. Joe isn’t an idiot and I wish people would stop labeling him that.
I don’t think IQ-wise Joe is an idiot. However, he looks like he’s an idiot at self promotion because he’s not very good at. He ends up looking like a narcissist twit a great deal of the time.
“If Joe doesn’t speak, maybe it will last.” LOL I thought firstly, Sofia, what are you doing? But after reading the article…. fair enough.
This Joe guy doesn’t come off as the sharpest tool in the shed but it’s not like Sofia is known for her brain or even comes off really intelligent in her interviews, so I don’t get why he is constantly being told to be quiet.
Anyway congrats to Sofia, even though I don’t get his hype anyone has to be better than her crappy ex.
I remember seeing some photos snapped of them @Washington Correspondents Dinner & you could tell they were into each other — in fact, it almost looked as if the camera caught them from their faces.
The PR stench on this is super strong. And obvious. I know Joe is having problems finding new jobs (more lack of talent and attitude, because he is trying out for everything with no success) outside of being stripper #3 in the Magic Mike, so he is desperate to stay in the public view any way possible. Wait for the slew of pap pic and interviews about their relationship coming down the pike from him.
In theory they should be hot but they read try-hard and boring.
At least his people are working overtime on this, yes? He was on People’s(?) Hottest Bachelor cover last week, both People and US Weekly are cranking out the same story, and photographer–errr fans were there in Louisiana to capture that special moment.
WERK. hot all over the place!!
He’s gross, but this coupling makes sense to me. Good luck to them.
They are both gross.
How convenient, all these sources *coughpublicistscough* “leaking” details of their coupling right after he gets killed off (it’s Tuesday, get over the spoilers) and he gushes about her in People. Sooooooo legit.
Sofia, you lucky girl.
Bimbo and Himbo?
“I could totally see how the sex would be hot. Gross-hot, but hot. Lots of grunting.”
Thanks for that visual . . . off to vomit up my morning Cheerios.
I also think this is a PR stunt, with maybe a bit of rebound for Sofia.
Good for them! Beautiful people having fun! This gives off a much healthier vibe than Zac and Michelle to be sure!
I would go for some hot vacation sex with him any day.
That said, they look a little weird together – almost plastic. But for rebound hot bouncy time, why not? I’d take him as my rebound guy any day. Yum!
I love this! Cool. Hope it works! 🙂
Man, she’s SO overrated. Beautiful yes, but so incredibly annoying.
Plus the ill-timed rape joke is something I cannot forget and I side-eye anyone who dated Tom Cruise..
But he has great abs so eh? Go get it, Sofia.
*shrugs*
Agree with you about her being overrated. I am hoping this is just a PR thing!
She’s a beautiful woman, but she is SEVERELY overrated. Ugh.
They are both absolutely gorgeous. Good.
They certainly look beautiful together and the physical chemistry is absolutely there. But from reading certain interviews with Joe he seems like a VERY traditional male and she’s definitely a bit head strong. I think he’d rather have a woman that allows him to be the decision maker and go where he goes, and she doesn’t nearly look like the type of lady who’d do that. His last girlfriend, the one he met in Vegas, appeared to be the same type of feisty woman and it only lasted a year. I wonder if this will last beyond the physical?
Sophia let her last boyfriend completely run over her though in a very very unhealthy way.
I remember reading that her last boyfriend wasn’t a piece of cake. Joe seems more ethical and much nicer but still that sort of in charge kind of guy. He boasted how Audra Marie used to cook English breakfasts for him and thanked this last one in the back of his Evolution book for her love, patience and home cooking. Cooking is a trait he looks for in a woman obviously. I bet Sofia can work the kitchen when she wants to but is she ready to do it prime time?
Sorry, but he’s a complete and utter narcissist who only wants someone that’s going to cater to his needs, hence his previous relationships with no-name “models” who followed him around from one c-list event to the next. There is no way in hell that Joe would be in a relationship where he is the subordinate in any way – and with someone who’s money, fame and success eclipses his own?! Definitely not. This is just well-timed PR to keep him relevant in the press.
I wonder how this will work with him being a strict gym rat and a recovering alcoholic. Sofia likes to be lazy and have drinks. Oh well. The PR people know what they r doing I’m sure.
OK I’m probably going to regret asking but; what is a wet blanket boyfriend?
Someone who’s not a lot of fun to be around.
Not a fan of this coupling, but if they are happy, then good for them.
What a stunning couple! That’s all I’ve got. I’ll be nice today.
Those words :” Lots of grunting” (during sex) fired me up! I can imagine it now for only one night and then walk away and never return again.
Ew….
He was actually pretty charming and relaxed on Andy Cohen’s show, surprisingly. And he’s educated.
She on the other hand . . .
I approve. They look great together. But maybe she can work on his style. That suit/shirt/tie in the top pic is AWFUL.
So her fiance cheated on her, wow.
