Sofia Vergara married husband and actor/director Joe Manganiello in November 2015. The Rampage star asked to marry her just six months after dating on Christmas Day. The pair have been hopelessly in love ever since and are now celebrating three happy years of marriage.
Joe has previously dated model Bridget Peters, actress Tenly Dune and he was engaged to actress Audra Marie but they broke up in 2011.
Sofia has one son from her previous marriage to Joe Gonzalez Manolo Gonzalez-Ripoll Vergara, 23, who was her high school sweetheart.
They pair married when Sofia was just 18 years of age but in 1993 their marriage came to an end.
But just who is Sofia’s latest husband Joe Manganiello? Here are five interesting facts.
1. He loves being married
“The best part of getting married was not having to change anything. It was finding someone who complimented me perfectly,” Joe told PEOPLE.
“People say things like, ‘Marriage and relationships are work.’ But it’s not. Life is hard. Having somebody to help you deal with it is the greatest thing that ever happened,” he adds.
2. He had some disastrous relationships in the past
“Looking back on the relationships I had before this, I think the universe was giving me some tough practice so I’d get this right,” he adds.
3. He’s starring in a movie with his wife
“I read the script and knew it was a great role for me — then it was a five-year struggle of getting it made. It’s a story about redemption and putting your life back together,” The Magic Mike actor tells of the movie Stano.
According to Deadline, “the film follows a man who returns to the Bronx after serving 17 years in prison for a violent mistake he made as a kid that ultimately robbed him of a professional baseball career and the love of his life.”
4. He’s great at giving romantic gifts
“Sofía and I have always put each other’s well-being first, and that’s how I knew she was the one,” the True Blood star told Cosmopolitan. “I wrote her a book as a gift for our first anniversary. It was about how we met — as well as our courting — and was about 40 pages long.”
5. He asked Sofia on a date the moment he found out she was single
“I was on a press tour when I found out Sofia was single. My friend is an editor, and told me she was about to make the announcement. I got her number from Jesse Tyler Ferguson [Sofia’s Modern Family co-star], then flew to New Orleans to take her on a date,” Joe revealed.
