The True Blood actor says Sofia was not single at the time, but he couldn't stop checking her out nonetheless. "C'mon, you can't put that in front of me. What am I supposed to do? I'm not going to apologize; I totally got busted," Manganiello said while dishing on his first meeting with the Columbian beauty.

Playing by the idyllic dating decorum, Manganiello waited till Vergara was a single lady to ask her for a chance, and the opportunity knocked sooner than the True Blood actor had expected. The pair started dating in August 2014, which was not long after Sofia had called it quits with her then-fiancee Nick Loeb. The actor later reveals that The Modern Family star was persistent in pushing him away, but he wasn't the one to give up either.

"Our first date was her giving me every reason why it would never work out," Joe said, adding, "Like, 'You're too young, you're an actor, you're this, you're that,' and she was just doing it to hear herself say it. She was trying to talk herself out of going there." Vergara confirmed her budding romance with Joe by saying, "You know, I'm just having a great time. It's a special time in my life, and I'm trying not to think too much about it."
