Sofía Vergara responded to questions about rumors linking her romantically to Dan Reynolds as she walked to her car. The two were photographed holding hands during a dinner at Cipriani in Los Angeles that also included two friends.
Why it matters
The exchange offers a public glimpse into the personal life of a high-profile actress and the speculation that follows her after a recent separation. An insider described the outing to People as a friendly group dinner, which frames the reports differently from a romantic one.
Vergara is 54 and Reynolds is 39, and Vergara's seven-year marriage to Joe Manganiello ended in 2023. Reynolds's prior relationship with Minka Kelly lasted four years and reportedly ended recently, but the status of any relationship with Vergara remains unconfirmed.
The players
Sofía Vergara
Colombian-American actress known for her role on the television sitcom Modern Family, who was photographed responding to dating rumors.
Dan Reynolds
Lead singer of the rock band Imagine Dragons, who was photographed holding Vergara's hand at dinner.
The details
Vergara answered photographers' questions about the speculation on video as she got into her car, saying "I wish" when asked if she is now dating rockstars. Photographs from a Los Angeles dinner at Cipriani show Reynolds holding her hand, and the group also included Anastasia Soare, chief executive of Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Timeline
2023: Vergara separated from Joe Manganiello after seven years of marriage.
October 7: A source told People that Reynolds and Kelly had recently split.
October 24: Vergara and Reynolds were photographed at the Cipriani dinner.
Roadmap
Vergara's rumored new relationship comes after her 2023 separation from Joe Manganiello, whose memoir Bloodlines disputed her account of the split. The episode illustrates how celebrity dating speculation often follows public disagreements about past relationships.
Readers following celebrity relationship news can expect continued speculation until either party confirms the status of the relationship. Coverage of public figures' dating lives often shifts quickly as new photographs and statements emerge.
The takeaway
Public speculation about a celebrity's dating life often outpaces confirmed facts, so it helps to separate what was directly said or photographed from what sources or outlets have reported. Vergara's own words on video were limited to "I wish," which leaves the question of a relationship open.
