Vergara's married life · Jan 5, 05:59 AM by Sofia Fan
Married to her boyfriend of 4 years at the age of 18, her ex-husband gave her the greatest gift of all; her son, who is now 8 years old. After Manolo was born, Sofia was set on becoming a dentist, but she was faced with a change in career paths.
Discovered by a photographer while walking down a Colombian beach (Laetitia Casta was also discovered on the sands of a beach), Sofia began to receive modeling offers. Since modeling was more attractive and glamorous than becoming a dentist, Sofia decided to try her hand at modeling, three years after she began studying dentistry.
Swiping her dentist uniform for designer togs, Sofia’s modeling career began. After an appearance in a Pepsi commercial that was broadcast all over her native Colombia, Sofia moved to Bogotá at the age of 20, where she worked on the runway and on television.
One of her biggest claims to fame was her co-hosting duties with Fernando Fiore on Fuera de Serie, a series which sent her to exotic places all over the world. Broadcast on Univision, with Sofia as co-host from 1995 to 1999, it gave Sofia American exposure and made her a star in the Latin American market
The same year that she started the travel show, Sofia appeared on Acapulco, cuerpo y alma and has recently starred in the series A que no te atreves.
Aside from her successful television work, Sofia’s most recent (and perhaps most ambitious) project is her calendar, Sofia 2000, which she herself describes as the most daring thing she has done. She has also credited with designing a bra for fellow full-figured women, and will appear on commercials for the popular exercise chain Bally gyms. This summer, Sofia appeared on the prestigious cover of Channels magazine and was featured in the magazine Gear.
With a huge loyal following on the web, sexy Sofia has fast become one of the most clicked women in cyberspace. With her very own website, sofiavergara.com, boasting an amazing average of over twelve million hits a month (and this only six months after initially launching the site), Sofia has most definitely become the ‘’undisputed Latin virtual queen’’.
