Sofía Vergara is being unapologetically honest about what she wants in a relationship. The 53-year-old actress recently said in an interview that she wouldn’t date a man who earns less than she does, explaining that the financial imbalance would be “a nightmare.”
The Modern Family star, who has built an empire worth an estimated $180 million, said it’s not about being materialistic but about wanting someone who can match her lifestyle and ambition. She explained that at this point in her life, she has worked too hard to build the comfort and stability she enjoys, and being with someone who doesn’t understand that could easily cause problems.
Sofía’s reasoning, according to reports, comes from experience. After her divorce from actor Joe Manganiello last year, she’s been focusing on herself and being clear about her expectations moving forward. “I’m not twenty anymore,” she said. “I don’t want to start over or have to teach someone how to live at this stage of my life.”
Her statement quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions online. Many fans praised her honesty, saying it’s refreshing to see a woman openly state her standards without apology. Others found it controversial, arguing that love shouldn’t be tied to money.
Still, those who have followed her career know that Sofía has never been one to filter herself. From her comedy success on Modern Family to her business ventures and TV projects, she’s built a brand rooted in independence, self-awareness, and humor.
Whether people agree with her or not, one thing is clear, Sofía Vergara knows exactly what she wants, and she’s not settling for less.
