Sofia Vergara has broken up with Nick Loeb, her boyfriend of two years

Sofia Vergara is single! Maybe. Probably. According to Page Six, Sofia and Nick Loeb, her boyfriend of more than two years, have called it quits. The tabloids sometimes claimed that Sofia and Nick were not going to make it as a couple, and I always kind of believed it too. Nick is a Republican political type from Florida, and he’s said to have big political ambitions (like, a Senate run). Sofia has her own thing going in Hollywood, and she seems to be solely career-focused these days. Beyond the tabloids, I’ve always noticed that Sofia never seemed that engaged in a potential future with Nick either – she already has an adult son, and she never seemed to like the idea of starting another family, and I got the feeling that Loeb wanted to settle down and have a baby with Sofia. Nick and Sofia were last seen together several weeks ago, at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Sofia was at the Met Gala two nights ago solo.

Men around the world, rejoice. Sofia Vergara is single again after splitting with boyfriend Nick Loeb after more than two years together, Page Six can exclusively reveal. The Colombian stunner and New York-based Loeb broke up over the weekend following a series of arguments, sources tell us. And, on Monday, she attended the Met Ball alone.

A source told us, “Sofia was confiding in friends at the ball that she and Nick have split. They have been fighting a lot recently and have been on the brink of splitting many times. It is not yet clear if they are over for good, but they are done as a couple for now.”

The actress, who wore Marchesa to Monday night’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala, got ready at a New York City hotel rather than at Loeb’s apartment, and later attended an after-party at the Top of the Standard with friends.

Another source told us that Vergara and Loeb’s relationship stumbled under the pressure of her growing fame and popularity. Her success on “Modern Family,” and as host of “Saturday Night Live” — as well as her obvious sex appeal — has turned her into one of TV’s biggest female stars.

The couple met at a Golden Globes party in 2010. Vergara said in January that Loeb enjoys red-carpet events. “He loves my career,” said Vergara. “He likes coming to these events. For him, it’s like a hobby to be part of this Hollywood scene.”

But Loeb, who considered running for the Florida state senate last year, is the son of John Loeb Jr., who served President Reagan as ambassador to Denmark. He is the grandson of one of the Lehman brothers and was a partner in his family’s stock brokerage firm.

Other sources say Vergara and Loeb had been on the rocks for some time. Last month, the saucy sex symbol was seen with Loeb at an Upper East Side restaurant, where, “She looked miserable,” sources said. “Sofia looked beautiful, but she did not seem happy with him at all.”

I’m sad for Sofia, and I hope she bounces back in good time. Because a single Sofia Vergara, up for grabs in Hollywood… well, that’s got a lot of potential. You know Gerard Butler is going to try for it, but Sofia has rebuffed him before. You know who I’d really like to see Sofia with? George Clooney. He would never go for it, of course – Sofia has an actual career, and she has no financial, emotional or sexual need to be his “beck-and-call girl”. But! Sofia is HOT HOT HOT and she’s his type, I think. I also think they would have a lot of fun together. And she doesn’t want any more kids, I’m pretty sure. So… George wouldn’t have to worry about Sofia talking about babies constantly. And George could spend time with Manolo, Sofia’s adult son. See? It would work out beautifully. That’s probably why it would never happen.

    i don’t see her in couple with Clooney because Clooney is the star in his couple and he likes the relatively unknows

    • pwal says:

      I don’t see it either, for the very reason you mentioned. Clooney’s the star and Sofia seems to be gunning for that label. And IMO, she’s becoming overexposed, with the Covergirl, Pepsi (although they’re easing up on the rotation) and now the Kmart commercials.

      • vic says:

        I second this overexposed theory. Love her but too much of a good thing. But at 40 she probably has to take advantage of her popularity while she can.

    • pwal says:

      vic…

      I even hesitate to say ‘overexposed’ because it’s really not her fault that her commercials are being overplayed. But it’s kinda/sorta her fault that she seems to be at every major event/award show.

      And yeah… she’s approaching forty and she should get as much as she can; however, my fear is that because of the overexposure in the commercials will be used against her, in terms of segueing into films. Executives can use the overexposure as an excuse to not hire her because, maybe, she can’t be a rarefied figure in film if she’s the face of Kmart. Because, let’s face it, Latinas seem to have a problem ‘breaking through’, although some would cite JLo as an exception (which, IMO, she’s not.) I mean… look at Salma Hayek… successful producer/somewhat successful actress, entrepreneur, humanitarian, married to a billionaire, and yet, her current claim to fame is starring in Burger King and Milk commercials?

    She’ll rebound…she’s hot!

    • Maguita says:

      I want her to melt all over the Northern Skarsgard. I know, I know, there’s apparently Charlize, but Sophia around the very contained Skarsgard would be. The Best. Gossip. Ever.

      And yeah, she probably dumped Loeb’s ass. She doesn’t exactly mesh with his party’s point of views on “the all-American family”. Some Republicans do believe in same-sex marriage, and most of them do practice sex outside of the sanctity of marriage, with either or both sexes, but let’s face it: Publicly and specifically during elections, they want to look like the saint martyr of sexual frustration. And Sofia, no matter how hard she may try, could NEVER be the poster girl of sexual frustration. That woman is a walking-sighing orgasm.

    The WHCD wasn’t several weeks ago, it was a week and a half ago.
    And she needs to stay far, far, far way from Gerry Butler, even if she’s wearing a Hazmat suit.

  4. Zelda says:

    I’m getting sick of strapless black-tie on her. Mix it up, lady. Your cleavage will still be great.

  5. NerdMomma says:

    That article about her rebuffing Butler was hilarious! I was neutral on her before but now I love her.

  6. Bored suburbanhousewife says:

    Disagree. Please God let her get together with Gerry & save him from the inferno.

    1. She’s his ideal type.
    2. As Leno showed their humor really sparks together.
    3. She is smart grounded & not at all needy.

    She could provide the adult supervision he needs to get his life & career back on track. After he is thoroughly hosed down with Clorox.

  7. bea says:

    Her BF is prob. used to being the alpha member of the couple he’s in and she is an equal. Hopefully, she’ll meet a super great guy, not just a cute one.

  8. Agnes says:

    i am sure she won’t have a problem finding interested men, should she choose to look – she’s hot!

  9. Dhavy says:

    If he’s a hardcore Republican and plans to run in Florida where the immigration topic is hot then there might be an issue since Republicans want stricter rules against immigrants (except Cubans) and there’s a large Colombian population in SoFl
    Maybe its not due to political differences but if his future is in politics then it can get complicated. Just saying…

  10. Cathy says:

    Good luck to her, if this story is true. I hope she finds someone who can make her happy who doesn’t use her for her fame.

  11. Chatcat says:

    They made a good looking couple but if they have different paths they want to head down better now then a divorce. Good for both of them that they each know what they are looking for…don’t see that much in celebs or high profile people. They are both good looking, smart and talented and both will rebound quickly! Just hope there is no sh*t flown around by either one in the tabloids.

  12. The Orginal Orginal says:

    I think she is smart and sexy, but she is in her upper 30s which is too old for Clooney. At first, they would have fun, but she would be too much for Clooney to handle. She likes to be the center of attention and so does George. Sofia pretty much likes to talk about stuff and I doubt she would keep quiet about their relationship.

  13. Nina says:

    besides, for Clooney Sofia is probably too old and she actually has her own opinion about stuff

  14. Lady_Luck says:

    I thought they made a very hot yet grounded couple. What a shame. Well who knows what goes on behind closed doors I suppose…

  15. hstl1 says:

    I disagree. Remember when he had that bad car accident? She took time away from her career to stay at home with him and help him get back on his feet.

    That shows commitment to me. I bet this is hard on both of them.

  16. Michael Kelly says:

    Hollywood 101. As soon as your star rises, dump the S.O. Both of these people will be just fine in the long run. Also both seem pretty decent (politics aside) but no relationship survives the Hollywood fame monster.

  17. bec says:

    Is the man high??
    What fool would break up with this divinity?

    • pwal says:

      Maybe she’s too much… if you know what I mean.

      Whenever I look at Vergara, I think of that Designing Women episode with Ursula, the very voluptuous au pair that the ladies hired during a vacation. The ladies didn’t like how the guys were acting towards her; Suzanne, on the other hand, knew that Ursula was egging on the attention. Suzanne said something like ‘Your smile’s too big, your heart’s too big, and quite frankly, your breasts are too big.’ Suzanne peeped game. Suzanne knew that Ursula was deliberately ‘too much’ because Suzanne was too much too.

      Right now, Sofia is trying very hard to garner female support by presenting herself as a nonthreatening girl’s girl, and maybe she really is one. But deep down, I think she will get tired of it. I would, if I was her… I raised a kid to adulthood, therefore I had to tone some things down along the way… now that he’s grown, I don’t have to baby him anymore… and why should I baby anyone else?

  18. LucyOriginal says:

    I really like Sofia Vergara. So, I would not wish to see her being Clooneyfied. Besides…isn’t she bff’s with his current girlfriend of____?

    Sofia and Gerry, I would like to see that. She would be the last resort to save him…

  19. lucy2 says:

    She’s had a LOT of success lately, I think that dynamic would change most relationships.

  20. Alexis says:

    I don’t get how people always talk about Clooney’s girls as if they are kids. The ones I can think of are in their early to mid thirties and look their age or older (Kiebler could easily pass for Hollywood 40), so I don’t think, age-wise, SV would be a stretch.

    However, I do think Kaiser is right – SV is too much of a star and a strong personality in her own right. Clooney likes to be the star and to control his current gf’s image and wardrobe, which SV would not stand for.

    The only kind of star I could see Clooney dating is a thirtysomething actress who is up-and-coming but not too respected and wants the exposure, and is willing to be told what to do. A Blake Lively-type, but a bit older. Zoe Saldana comes to mind (it seems like she broke off her engagement so she could use relationships to advance her career), but there are probably others of that ilk.

  21. Guest says:

    Only one problem about Sofia and George hooking up together, isn’t George and Stacy a couple. LOL

    • LucyOriginal says:

      As if this detail would stop George from dating Sofia or any other person. I tend to believe he started dating this one while he was still with the other one.

  22. boredsuburbanhousewife says:

    Clooney is obviously gay and hires these cocktail waitress beards for two year contracts. He has better taste in clothes than they do and gives them makeovers.

  23. Uhm says:

    Err, the Correspondents dinner was only a week and a half ago – not “several” weeks. To say that they were last seen together and make it sound like it was such a long time ago is ridiculous. She was with him a week ago and wasn’t with him 2 nights ago, big deal. Let’s make a story out of nothing!

    • Guest 1 says:

      In Hollywood years, for a celeb couple not being seen together or photographed together in a week and half to two weeks is a long time.

  24. bella says:

    When she opens that mouth I want to scream! Another annoying “Fran Dressher”
    Clooney and her????? Are you joking?

  25. bella says:

    maybe clooney and John Travola?

    • Veruca says:

      Perfect! 😀

      As much as I love Sofia, I really hate the “Keeeegan” she’s screaming in those Kmart commercials. It isn’t cute. It’s annoying.

      And since she’s not, they need to change that marketing angle.

  26. Mrs. Odie 2 says:

    Clooney would never date someone so old. She’s so sexy and I love Modern Family this season. I think she would be great with Keanu Reeves or Edward Norton. Are they single?
