“Sofía Vergara Reportedly Reacts with Laughter — and a Tattoo Twist — After Hearing About Ex-Husband Joe Manganiello’s Engagement to Caitlin O’Connor”
In true Sofía Vergara fashion, the Colombian bombshell has once again proven that humor and grace are her secret weapons. According to sources close to the Modern Family star, Vergara reportedly burst into laughter after learning that her ex-husband, Magic Mike actor Joe Manganiello, had proposed to his new girlfriend, actress Caitlin O’Connor. But it was her cheeky follow-up that sent fans — and the internet — into meltdown.
“Instead of being bitter or emotional, Sofía just laughed,” a friend revealed. “She said, ‘Good for him,’ and then made a playful joke about her tattoo — the one that used to have Joe’s initials.”
Fans may recall that during their seven-year marriage, Vergara had a subtle tattoo featuring the letter “J” inked in honor of Manganiello. Now, insiders claim the 52-year-old star decided to give that old mark a fresh, symbolic makeover. “She didn’t remove it,” the source continued. “She actually recycled it — turned it into something new, something that represents her independence and new chapter. She said it’s no longer for Joe, it’s for joy.”
Social media quickly lit up with admiration for Vergara’s classy and humorous response. “Queen behavior,” one fan commented. “Turning pain into power — and tattoos into art!” another added.
Since her highly publicized split from Manganiello in 2023, Vergara has been focused on her thriving career, beauty ventures, and personal happiness. The actress has been spotted enjoying glamorous getaways, red carpets, and quiet dinners with close friends — all while exuding confidence and self-assured charm.
Meanwhile, Manganiello’s whirlwind romance with O’Connor has been making headlines of its own. The couple reportedly met in late 2023 and have been inseparable ever since. His engagement announcement came just a few months after the finalization of his divorce from Vergara — a detail fans couldn’t help but notice.
But if there’s any jealousy or regret, Sofía isn’t showing it. “She’s unbothered, radiant, and still laughing,” said the insider. “That’s the Sofía everyone loves — strong, funny, and always one step ahead.”
And as one fan perfectly summed it up online: “Sofía didn’t lose a man — she found herself again. And that’s the real happy ending.”
✨ In the end, Vergara’s reaction is the ultimate message: when life gives you heartbreaks, laugh — and maybe turn that old tattoo into something even more fabulous.
