Sofia Vergara celebrates her 51st birthday in Italy – fans notice worrying detail in pictures
Sofia Vergara, the former star of Modern Family, is currently enjoying her birthday in Italy, radiating her signature easygoing charm and stunning beauty as she embraces turning 51.
In a recent Instagram post, Vergara, who celebrated her milestone birthday surrounded by her “best friends” during a luxurious Italian getaway, displayed her playful sense of humor by posing on a patio with picturesque water views in the background.
The Colombian-American actress translated the post’s caption from Spanish, which read, “Waking up here on my 51st birthday! Despite my knees already hurting, I’m grateful for my good health and the energy—and joy—to keep living! Thank you for all the messages.”
The stunning actress, seemingly defying the passage of time with her youthful appearance, playfully touched on the realities of aging with a lighthearted reference to her knees.
Celebrity friends joined in the conversation, showering her with well-wishes and leaving comments on her humorous post. Model Heidi Klum expressed her adoration, saying, “I adore you, Sofia. To have you in my life is such a blessing.” Comedian Howie Mandel chimed in with a witty response, acknowledging Klum’s remark: “Happy birthday. @heidiklum is so lucky to have you in her life.”
Meanwhile, Modern Family co-star Sarah Hyland kept it simple with a humorous response: “HAAAAAAAA…”
Even her son Manolo, whom she shares with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez, took the opportunity to send birthday wishes to the Hot Pursuit star. He wrote, “Te amo mucho.” Last year, Manolo shared a delightful video reel featuring childhood photos of his mother, starting with a sweet snapshot of her.
“Happy forty-ten!!!!” Manolo writes in English translation. “I hope you get even better in the next 40 plus 10 years, Ma.”
Jeremy Maguire, who portrayed Joe Pritchett, the adorable son of Gloria Vergara on the popular comedy series, also extended his birthday wishes to his on-screen mother. He posted a sweet photo of the two together with the remark, “Happy birthday, gorgeous. I will always love you.”
On July 9, the America’s Got Talent panelist celebrated the beginning of her Italian vacation by announcing that she had reached 30 million followers on Instagram. The post features a stunning photo of her posing in a lime green one-piece bathing suit against the backdrop of the blue sky and ocean.
She writes, “30,000,000 followers!! Thank u to u all! Thank u for always being there for me! Thank u for always supporting me in everything I do!! Besos from Italy!!”
Scores of fans praised her timeless beauty with comments like, “This woman is 25 years eternally??” and “Without a doubt, the most beautiful woman in the universe.”
The former CoverGirl model shared a glimpse of her birthday celebrations in Italy on social media. Clips show her enjoying gelato while driving, brunching with friends, blowing out cake candles with firecrackers, and being serenaded at her birthday dinner in the numerous posts.
Joe Manganiello, her husband, was conspicuously absent from the festivities, prompting some followers to express concern about their marriage.
However, Vergara wasn’t solely focused on herself on her special day. Amid the celebrations, she took a moment to express her affection and wish her blonde Chihuahua, Bubbles, a happy birthday.
“Feliz 10th cumpleaños my sweet, vicious Bubbles! No matter how many times u bite me I will always love u,” she writes in a July 9 post, alongside an image of Bubbles wearing a leopard dress, diving into a bright pink cake topped with a pink flamingo.
Heidi Klum joined in, writing, “Happy Birthday Bubbles from auntie Heidi,” while a fan commented, “She bites you because you’re sweet!!!”
