    Sofia Vergara wants her next boyfriend to be as rich as she is

    The 52-year-old actress admits that she needs "fun in [her] life" - but Sofia isn't interested in dating someone who isn't financially independent


    Asked what she is looking for in her next relationship, Sofia said on the 'Today' show: "I want to say the basic stuff, like health and somebody that loves me. And somebody tall, handsome.

    "I want somebody that has as much money as me or more, because if not, it's a nightmare. They end up resenting you."

    Sofia ultimately craves a bit of "fun" in her life.

    The Hollywood star - who was married to actor Joe Manganiello between 2015 and 2024 - shared: "I've been single now for a year and a half, and I kind of panicked once I got divorced. I was like, 'I'm 52, what's gonna happen? Where am I going to find [someone]?'"

    Despite this, Sofia is still in no rush to find love.

    She said: "I'm not really in a hurry anymore."

    Last year, Sofia claimed that she can't be too "picky" about who she dates.

    The brunette beauty finalised her split from Joe in 2024, but she remains open to the idea of dating another celebrity.

    Sofia told People: "I mean, it's already hard for a 50-something-year-old woman to find someone. I'm not going to be now picky about, 'Oh, he can only be a doctor. Oh, he can only be an astronaut.' No, I mean, I'm not that picky."

    Sofia has learned that love can be a "tricky" thing.

    The actress explained: "You never know what the future is going to bring.

    "You need to always give the best that you can, be the best person to the other person. Be there for them when they need you, when they're going through the hardest time. Hopefully that will one day come back to you."

    Sofia feels she's gained a lot of "knowledge" because of everything she's been through in her life.

    Asked what she appreciates about being in her 50s, Sofia shared: "It's all the knowledge. That's all. I've never really cared that much about what people think. But now I really care less."
