Sofia Vergara appeared on the Today Show and dished about her hunky boyfriend, Joe Manganiello, and could not praise and gush enough.
“To me, he’s like another species,” the “Modern Family” star (who, by the way, is no slouch herself) said during a visit to TODAY Tuesday. “I look at him, and it’s likeI feel like I am like in the movie ‘E.T.’ Remember? When an alien lands … and I’m the one who gets to play with it.”
When the Modern Family star was asked about the fact that she is 42 and he is only 37, she admits that she likes being just a bit older than him. Of course Vergara herself is drop dead gorgous so her 42 years have done her well.
