Sofia Vergara’s ex Nick Loeb's final appeal over embryo rights rejected Entertainment Thu, Apr 01, 2021 Nick Loeb, who is Sofia Vergara's ex, had his final objections rejected by a Los Angeles court over the rights to use the frozen pre-embryos that they created when they were together. The two had called it quits in their engagement in May 2014, a year prior to undergoing IVF treatments. The Modern Family star, who has a son Manolo, later tied the knot with Joe Manganiello in November 2015. Sofia, in 2017, filed documents hoping to prevent her ex from using the pre-embryos without her written consent.
