Sofía Vergara is famous for her role on 'Modern Family.'

The duo were first spotted on October 20 when they grabbed dinner at Funke in Beverly Hills.

“They were introduced by mutual friends, so Sofía didn’t go in totally blind. He was vetted, so to speak,” the insider spilled. “Justin impressed her right off the bat by showing up to their first date with flowers and her favorite champagne.”

The 51-year-old’s new relationship came just months after she and Manganiello announced their divorce. Despite the quick turnaround, the doctor has seemingly made the Modern Family star fall head over heels for him.

“Justin hasn’t just charmed Sofía,” the source added. “He’s met a bunch of her family and friends, and they’ve all given him the thumbs up. Sofía seems very happy.”

"Joe wants the divorce to go as clean as possible. He would love as little drama [as possible] to come from it. Joe is ready to date, ready to move on, ready to have fun again and fall in love with someone," they divulged at the time.

"He never wanted to be single, he thought Sofía was the one, but he knows that since it didn't work with Sofía he is getting to a better place within himself to move on to make someone else happy, which in turn will make him happy," the insider added.

"Joe will never dodge an opportunity if the opportunity is right. He does that with his work, he does that with his relationships," they explained. "But when it happens, don't expect him to shove it down our throats [because] he would like to move into a new relationship with little to no reaction. He doesn't want to be tied into a situation where people are judging his relationships in the future. He just wants to live a happy life."
