Sofia Vergara, famously known for her role as Manny Delgado’s mother on “Modern Family,” has a son named Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, born in 1991 to her ex-husband, Joe Gonzalez. Their close age difference has fostered a tight bond. Together, they created a food brand called Toma, with Manolo sharing insights on its authenticity and accessibility. He said, “We aimed to create something true to us that’s also easy to enjoy.” They made empanadas the focus, feeling that the market already has plenty of tacos.

Manolo mentioned the collaborative aspects of their work, noting his mother’s impressive creative vision while he focused on the culinary side. Aside from this venture, Manolo also shares his mother’s passion for acting.
