Sofia Vergaramay be dating again, but she’s doing it the old-fashioned way!
Six months since her split from exJoe Manganiello, theGriseldastar (who loves nothing more than “eating, shopping and talking s—”) is opening herself up to fun, she revealed in a new interview withThe Daily Mail.
When asked if she has hit the dating apps since her breakup, whichPEOPLE confirmedlast July, Vergara, 51, told the outlet, “No, I wish!”
“I’m bad with technology, so I’m sure I would click on the wrong ones. I’m open to having fun and meeting people,” she continued, adding, “It’s only been six months.”
“It’s weird, because I’ve now lived longer in the United States than I lived in my country [Colombia]. But I’m still very Latin. I work out to Latin music. In my car, it’s Latin music. My friends — my close friends — are either my cousins or the ones I met at kindergarten," Vergara then told the outlet.
“So now I need a husband!” she added, before clarifying: “No, I don’t need a husband, I want one.”
“It doesn’t even have to be a husband. A partner,” she continued.

“Joe was four years younger than me, and he’d never had kids,” she said of theMagic Mikestar, 47.
Vergara, who shares sonManolo, 32, with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez, continued: “He decided he wanted kids and I didn’t want them. It was like: ‘Imagine, when this child would be 10 years old, I’ll be 60-something. That’s a grandma!’ ”
“I know the sacrifices you need to make to be a good mother. You have to be present. And my career is important to me. I cannot disappear. A lot of people rely on me,” she continued.
But, becoming a grandmother is a different story, Vergara told the outlet. “I’m 51, my son is 32. I’m ready to play with my grandson and then when I’m done it’s: ‘Okay, take it. It’s yours!’” she said.
