Sofia Vergara reveals girls 'throw themselves' at fiancé Joe Manganiello


September 15, 2015

He may be off the market but that hasn't stopped female fans from "throwing themselves" at Hollywood hunk Joe Manganiello. The Magic Mike XXL star is set to marry his fiancée Sofia Vergara later this year, but in the meantime, his bride-to-be is fighting off competition from other women.

Making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Sofia, 43, admitted that she has seen it first-hand, and at the beginning was hesitant to date someone who was "too handsome".

"I didn't want to go into the relationship with somebody that I thought it would be so much work," said Sofia. "Girls were throwing themselves at him, so I'm like, 'No, I want somebody normal.'"

Sofia Vergara admitted she was at first hesitant to date Joe Manganiello because he was "too handsome"

"Girls don't care!" she added. "Have you seen him? I understand it, I don't judge them."

The Colombian beauty, who dropped out of university to pursue a career in modelling in Miami, also spoke about her "traditional" wedding plans.

"We're not doing anything crazy," said Sofia. "We're doing a traditional wedding."

The Modern Family favourite added that she and Joe are having a ring bearer and flower girls, but aren't following the American tradition of having bridesmaids.

The lovebirds dated for six months before Joe popped the question on Christmas Day last year

"It would be torture," said the actress. "I don't think that tradition would have ever lasted one second in Latin America. How do you pick your bridesmaids? All your cousins are your best friends – the whole wedding would be dressed in the same outfit!"

Sofia also confirmed to show host Jimmy that 400 close family and friends were invited to the nuptials, including her Modern Family cast mates, but that she had to steal some of her future husband's guest spots to accommodate her side.

"[It was] 200 for you 200 for me," she said, referring to when she and Joe did the invites. "My 200 is family. I couldn't invite many of my friends. The truth is he gave me some of his because I was in trouble."

The couple have invited 400 people to their upcoming wedding

Sofia and Joe, 38, have not revealed their exact wedding date but back in June the gorgeous Latina said that it was happening "soon". She also said that it would take place "in a very secret place" where nobody would find them, before joking that she would say "I do" on a plane.

The good-looking pair got engaged on Christmas Day last year after six months of dating.
