Actress Sofia Vergara, 53, confirms dating 39-year-old US businessman

53-year-old Colombian/American Actress Sofia Vergara has confirmed her new romantic relationship with a 39-year-old U.S. businessman, Douglas Chabbott.

The announcement comes after several months of speculation fuelled by multiple public sightings, INDIA TODAY reports, adding that a recent social media post has ended rumours about her personal life.

Vergara reportedly shared a photograph with Chabbott taken at a restaurant accompanied by the message “Te amo (I love you).”

The post provided clarity following weeks of public curiosity and media reports linking the two since mid-2025.

Chabbott, 39, reportedly serves as vice president at Dasan Inc., a company specialising in luxury jewellery and high-end design. He has maintained a relatively private profile, primarily appearing in business and philanthropic circles.

The pair were first linked after several public appearances earlier in the year, including an event in Pasadena and a birthday celebration in Cerdea.

The events contributed to increased speculation about the nature of their relationship before Vergara’s public confirmation.

The actor’s relationship history has frequently attracted media attention. She married actor Joe Manganiello in 2015, with their marriage lasting nearly a decade before they divorced in 2024.

Following her divorce, Vergara was reportedly briefly involved with Dr Justin Saliman, an orthopaedic surgeon based in Beverly Hills. Their romance was also shared with the public through Instagram but reportedly ended earlier in 2025.

Around the same period, rumours circulated regarding other potential relationships, including with NFL player Tom Brady, but these were dismissed by entertainment sources.
