Modern Family star Sofia Vergara celebrated her birthday with her new boyfriend, Joe Manganiello, 37. He plays a werewolf on HBO’s True Blood. The Columbian beauty turned 42 in style with dinner at Nobu Malibu on Thursday. The couple looked very cozy with beaming smiles at the chic sushi restaurant. Tabloids broke the story of the new couple last week.

According to sources, the two first met at the White House Correspondents Dinner in May. Vergara attended with then fiancé Nick Leob wearing a stunning strapless gold gown. Days later, she announced their split on Twitter. Manganiello was apparently an admirer. Us Magazine reports, “Sofia is Joe’s dream girl! He’s been smitten with her for years. He’s always had a huge crush on her. Things are going well for them so far”.

Vergara has become a Hollywood bombshell since the debut of her hit show Modern Family on ABC. Already a successful soap opera star in her native Columbia, she has forged a successful career in the U.S. Known for her comic wit and sensual curves, Vergara has caught the attention of many admirers. She was previously engaged to boyfriend Nick Leob, but called it off in May. Currently, she is filming Don’t Mess with Texas with Reese Witherspoon in Louisiana. The couple was previously spotted sharing a meal in New Orleans.

Manganiello plays the werewolf Alcide Herveaux on True Blood. He split from his girlfriend Brigit Peters in March. Since then, he has been called one of the hottest bachelors in Hollywood. Now that he is dating Vergara, the two are seen as entertainment’s hottest new couple. She returned to Los Angeles where they celebrated her birthday with family, enjoying company with cake, drinks, and balloons. With Vergara’s vivacious personality, this couple looks like they are having fun.
