Holding

SOFIA Vergara was spotted getting cosy with Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds on a date night.

The Modern Family star, 54, looked smitten while she enjoyed a romantic dinner with the Believer singer, 39, in Los Angeles.

The pair could be seen holding hands across the table at swanky Italian restaurant Cipriani in Beverley Hills.

In photos obtained by TMZ, Sofia and Dan struggled to keep their eyes off each other.

The pair were joined by some friends including cosmetic company owner Anastasia Soare, with the group appearing deep in conversation.

The publication reported that Sofia and Dan made a secret exit at around 12.30am.

Inside Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s nasty divorce

GREEK GODDESS

It comes after singer Dan and actress Minka Kelly split up in early October after four years of dating.

Last month Sofia’s ex-husband Joe Manganiello decided to lift the lid on their once very private eight-year relationship in his new book, Bloodlines.

Two years ago, Sofia claimed the couple split over a disagreement on growing their family together.

Sofia has an adult son named Manolo, whom she gave birth to when she was a teenager.

“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom,” Sofia told Spanish newspaper El País in January 2024.

“I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore,” she explained.

“I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother.”

 “I didn’t think because of my career, the way I live my life, the way my marriage was, that it was fair to bring a kid to this world, and I’m not going to be able to give 100%.”

Six months later, Joe called the claims “simply not true.”

“We had a huge conversation right out of the gate during the first month we dated,” he told People in July 2024.

“I said, ‘If you’re done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me, and I’ll know what this is, and that’s okay.’ And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didn’t work out. And I didn’t.

“To be painted as if I had some sort of midlife crisis, and after nine years, turned to somebody and gave them an ultimatum of, ‘Do this potentially unhealthy thing to your body, or else I’m gone’? That’s never who I was.”

He said their marriage had “become devoid of any emotionality whatsoever” as he privately struggled for years with an autoimmune disorder that ravaged his body.

He claimed Sofia “refused to hug him” even when he begged for affection.

According to People, she also “ridiculed” him for rescuing a 5-pound chihuahua named Bubbles in 2019.

All the issues led to the couple announcing their separation in July 2023.

After the dust settled, Joe got engaged to Caitlin O’Connor in 2025.

Sofia now appears to be playing the field after the split.

And the DRC’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Therese Kayikwamba Wagner said in a statement last week that “giving (Rwanda President) Paul Kagame this platform would help polish the image of an authoritarian leader whose government has helped fuel a devastating war in our country”.

She pointed out that the US had sanctioned the Rwandan army and four senior officers for their role in destabilising the region, conducting military operations inside the DRC and supporting, training and fighting alongside the M23 rebel group.

She added that F1 “should require credible, independent guarantees that no money used to host the race comes from conflict-linked minerals or the exploitation of Congolese resources”.

Seven-time world champion Hamilton said: “Africa is a place that deserves to have a grand prix. It’s about more than just one country. It’s about the continent itself, and there are so many beautiful countries within it.

“The people are so lovely. The culture is so rich, and I think it’s important that we get to show that to the world. We get to do that with our sport. We get to go to all these different countries, and people see some of these countries they didn’t really know too much about.

“All of a sudden, it becomes something that’s on the screen, and kids are talking about it. They go to school talking about it. So, I’m really, really hopeful for that grand prix.”

However, the Ferrari driver added: “Going there doesn’t mean that you neglect the things that are happening there.

“So hopefully many people start to educate themselves a little bit more about what is happening there and what has happened there for hundreds of years. I hope that does spark the conversation.

“And then I guess I’ll finish it off with this: I think we need to make sure we’re pushing to free Congo, free Sudan, free Syria, free Palestine. I think there’s a lot of peace that I’m hoping we get to at some stage.”
