Sofia Vergara with Douglas Chabbot
Modern Family actor Sofia Vergara has confirmed her new relationship with US businessman Douglas Chabbott. The official announcement on Instagram comes after several months of speculation led by multiple public sightings. The actress, in her recent social media post, settled the dust on all rumours about her personal life.
The 53-year-old shared a photograph with Chabbott clicked during a restaurant date. The picture was accompanied by the message "Te amo (I love you)." The post clarified the reports amid weeks of public curiosity linking the two since mid-2025.
39-year-old Chabbott reportedly serves as vice president at Dasan Inc., a company specialising in luxury jewellery and high-end design. The businessman has maintained a relatively private profile and has primarily appeared only in business and philanthropic circles.
Interestingly, Sofia Vergara nd Douglas Chabbot were first linked after their several public appearances earlier in the year. They were spotted attending an event in Pasadena together and a birthday celebration in Cerdea. They also celebrated Douglas' birthday together in Vegas a few weeks ago. These events and public appearances sparked speculation about the nature of their relationship before Vergara's recent public confirmation.
Sofia Vergara is currently 53 years old, while the new man in her life, Douglas Chabbot, is reportedly 39. This makes Douglas 12 years younger than his lady love. Notably, the Modern Family star's relationship history has frequently attracted media attention. She was previously married to actor Joe Manganiello in 2015; however, their marriage lasted nearly a decade before they divorced in 2024.
Following her divorce, Vergara was reportedly involved with Dr Justin Saliman, an orthopaedic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, for a brief period. They even made their romance public through Instagram; however, the relationship reportedly ended earlier in 2025.
It was around the same period that rumours regarding her other potential relationships began circulating. This included her being romantically linked with NFL player Tom Brady. However, later, entertainment sources dismissed any relationship between the two.
For the unversed, Sofia is one of the highest-paid actresses in the United States, best known for her performances in Modern Family, Griselda, Hot Pursuit, Despicable Me 4, and as the judge of reality show America's Got Talent.
