Sofia Vergara enjoyed an outing in New York City with Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton and their friends.

In photos obtained by TMZ, Vergara, 52, was all smiles during a group lunch at a restaurant in the Big Apple. She was seen chatting with Hamilton, 40, while waiting for her car after the two-hour dining experience.

The actress has appeared to be in good spirits following her divorce from Joe Manganiello. Us Weekly confirmed in July 2023 that Manganiello, 48, filed to end their marriage after seven years.

“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” they said in a joint statement, days before the actor officially filed the paperwork. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello: The Way They Were

A source later told Us that Vergara and Manganiello were no longer “on the same page” about their relationship. “She would rather go out with friends and he would rather stay home, so they wouldn’t spend a lot of time together,” the insider explained. “They’ve been living separate lives for about a year now, so it was time to call things off.”

Manganiello has since moved on with Caitlin O’Connor, and the couple made their red carpet debut in December 2023. Vergara, for her part, was linked to Justin Saliman in October 2023 but telling Us one year later that she’s “kind of single” at the moment.

Vergara also previously addressed what caused her and Manganiello to part ways.

“Well, I’m newly divorced from my second husband, who I was with for 10 years. My marriage broke up because my husband was younger,” she revealed to Spanish newspaper El País in January 2024. “He wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom.”

Vergara said she didn’t want more children, while Manganiello was interested in being a father. (The Modern Family alum welcomed son Manolo in 1991 with then-husband Joe Gonzalez. The former couple called it quits two years later.)

“I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore,” she continued at the time. “I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother.”

Sofia Vergara’s Dating History

Despite her marriage coming to an end, Vergara remained optimistic about the future, adding, “So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I’m almost in menopause, it’s the natural way of things. When my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I’ll give it back to him and go on with my life. That’s what I have to do.”

Hamilton, meanwhile, dated Nicole Scherzinger on and off for seven years before their split in 2015. He has since been linked to Rihanna and Shakira.

“One day [I want kids],” he told the Sunday Times in September 2024. “I wouldn’t be able to do what I do to the level that I do it today with that. One of my best friends has just had a kid and I’m seeing how manic it is — and my nieces and nephew are a handful.”

Hamilton added: “There will be a time and a place for it, and I can’t wait for that part. But right now I have some work to do.”
