Get ready for a dose of drama, romance, and behind-the-scenes gossip straight from the life of the one and only Sofia Vergara! The 53-year-old Colombian-American bombshell has been making headlines lately with her recent divorce from Joe Manganiello, but it seems like she's already moved on – or at least, that's what she wants you to think!

A Blast From the Past: Sofia's Sweet Throwback

That's right, it's Sofia Vergara! The star regularly shares glamorous pictures of herself on social media

Last week, Sofia treated her fans to a heartwarming throwback picture of herself as a child in Barranquilla, Colombia. The nostalgic snap showed a young Sofia with a dark blonde bob – a far cry from her signature luxuriously glossy long brunette curls we see today! Captioned simply "#tbt Barranquilla," the post got us wondering: who's this adorable little girl?

Fast-forward to the present, and we're met with the same woman who has become one of the highest-paid stars on TV. With a knee-replacement surgery under her belt (yes, you read that right – twice!), Sofia has been keeping busy with her medical recovery.

The Drama Between Sofia and Joe Manganiello: A Tale of Two Divorces

As many of you might know, Sofia finalized her divorce from Joe Manganiello earlier this month. The split was a result of the couple's prenuptial agreement, which stated they wouldn't have any community property between them. But here's the twist: the original reason for their breakup was "irreconcilable differences," with Sofia later revealing in an interview that it was actually due to their differing views on having children.

Sofia's Thoughts On Love and Relationships

Fast-forward to her latest chat with a popular outlet, where she dished out some juicy details about what she looks for in a partner. It turns out, this stunning beauty wants someone who's as financially independent as she is – talk about setting the bar high! According to Sofia, "I want somebody that has as much money as me or more, because if not, it's a nightmare. They end up resenting you."

But don't worry, folks – we won't leave you hanging! In an earlier interview with the Today show, Sofia shared her thoughts on love and relationships at 53: "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]?'"

It was a second operation on her knee which the Colombian siren had worked on for the first time last year. 'It's done! Round 2 ¿¿¿¿#knee,' wrote the brunette as she was seen in a gown while in a hospital bed with a patch and brace on her leg
