Howie Mandel Is Still Talking About Sofía Vergara's Dating Life
Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara
Howie Mandel thinks his fellow America's Got Talent judge Sofía Vergara is ready to date again—though it's not clear if she agrees!
While attending the Visionary Ball in Beverly Hills on Wednesday night, Mandel told People, "I think she's great for everyone. I love Sofía Vergara. I find her incredibly—first, in no particular order—beautiful, smart, funny."

He's also made it clear to anyone who will listen that he thinks it's time for Vergara to start dating again. “[She] deserves to be with somebody ASAP," he said.
"I scream it from the rooftops," he added. "Sometimes people think that's inappropriate, other people, not Sofía. She doesn't get mad at me."
Vergara and ex-husband Joe Manganiello announced their separation and impending divorce in July. Manganiello cited "irreconcilable differences" in the divorce filings.
The pair had a prenuptial agreement in place when they married, and their assets will likely be divided up along those lines.
At the time of their announcement, Vergara and Manganiello said in a statement, "We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives."
Sources close to the pair later revealed to People that they often had separate interests and that they "differ immensely in style and what they like to do, although during the marriage, each tried to put the other’s interests ahead of their own to make it work."
Mandel's latest comments aren't his first to reference Vergara's post-divorce dating life. In an episode of AGT from August he referred to her as on "the market" and in one from September he asked if she she saw “anyone in the audience" whom she might be "interested in." We get it, Howie: Sofía is single!
