Julie Bowen, known for her role in Modern Family, is showing unwavering support for her former co-star and friend, Sofia Vergara, as she navigates a new phase in her life following her split from Joe Manganiello. Bowen spoke exclusively to PEOPLE at the Step Up Inspiration Awards and shared her thoughts on Vergara’s well-being.
Bowen expressed her admiration for Vergara’s resilience and her strong support system. She mentioned that she and Vergara have spoken, and according to Bowen, “she’s doing great.” Bowen highlighted the incredible family and friends that have always surrounded Vergara, contributing to her well-being.
“Sofia has always had such a wonderful family that surrounds her and wonderful friends,” Bowen emphasized, underlining the strong network of support Vergara has in her life.
In jest, Bowen referred to Vergara’s Instagram posts and joked about how she doesn’t need Taylor Swift to accompany her to games, implying that Vergara is perfectly content and surrounded by great company. Bowen expressed her happiness for other women who are enjoying their time with Taylor Swift at games, alluding to the fact that she wished she had that experience as well.
Bowen and Vergara shared the screen for eleven years on the beloved ABC series Modern Family. Despite the show concluding its run in 2020 after 11 seasons, their friendship remains strong. Bowen described Vergara as a role model, particularly in her ability to embrace her womanhood and power simultaneously without feeling the need to compromise one for the other.
Previously, Bowen publicly supported Vergara after her split from Joe Manganiello. She commented on one of Vergara’s Instagram posts, praising her for looking “single and 🔥.” Bowen’s supportive message was met with affection from fans and followers.
In an interview with E! News in August, Bowen commended Vergara for her grace, warmth, generosity, and ability to rise above challenges. Bowen expressed her confidence that if Vergara desired to be in a relationship, she would find one, but she emphasized that Vergara didn’t need one to be fulfilled.
Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello announced their separation after seven years of marriage, with divorce proceedings following shortly after. Despite their physical attraction and love for each other, sources revealed that they differed greatly in style and interests, which contributed to the decision to part ways.
As Vergara embarks on this new phase in her life, she does so with the support and friendship of Julie Bowen and her strong circle of loved ones, as highlighted by Bowen in her exclusive interview with PEOPLE.
