Colombian-born Sofía Vergara honed her TV presence as a Univision host in Miami, capitalizing on the city's role as a gateway for Latin talent to U.S. audiences. Her portrayal of Gloria on Modern Family delivered Emmy nods and secured her as one of TV's top earners for years. She has since diversified into fashion, fragrances, and beverages, with recent high-visibility campaigns like Skechers' 2026 Super Bowl spot. Vergara stays linked to South Florida via real estate holdings and star turns at Miami galas. At 53 in 2026, she captivates in new projects while dazzling at events like the Women's Cancer Research Fund gala.
