The Real Reason Sofia Vergara Doesn't Like Sleeping With Joe Manganiello
Is there trouble in paradise for Sofia Vergara and her husband, "True Blood" actor Joe Manganiello? During an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday, June 3, Vergara admitted that she no longer sleeps next to Manganiello.
Vergara and Manganiello have been married since 2015, according to CNN. According to Vergara, her recent decision to adopt a Chihuahua named Bubbles has resulted in her nearly being kicked out of her own bed that she shares with her husband. Despite the fact that she adopted the dog to be her companion, it seems as though the dog has warmed up a bit more to Manganiello.
"She sleeps in bed with Joe, they sleep together and then I sleep on the other side," Vergara told host Ellen DeGeneres, per Daily Mail. "It has become something so weird. But I have to say it's not Joe's fault, it's her, she's obsessed with him."
Bubbles has become so attached to Manganiello that Vergara says the dog can't even enjoy time spent with the actress while her husband is away from their Los Angeles home. "If he has to go away for work and she knows she has to stay with me in the house and knows she has to deal with me, but won't do eye contact," Vergara explained. "She's always looking out, every little noise she's looking for, she can't enjoy the time with me."
Sofia is no longer a fan of her new dog
It seems as though Sofia Vergara has taken this slight from her new dog pretty personally, as she detailed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." While DeGeneres showed a photo of Bubbles to the audience, Vergara said, per Daily Mail, "Look at her — idiot."
Ellen DeGeneres also admitted to the fact that her three dogs prefer to spend time with her wife, Portia de Rossi. Though Bubbles did not take a liking to Vergara, she has still considered adopting another dog. "So I was thinking maybe I'd get another dog, but it could happen that they'd also fall in love with him and not with me," Vergara admitted.
Vergara also played a game on the show in which she had to answer a series of questions with quick responses, per E! News. During a segment called "Burning Questions," DeGeneres asked the star, "If Bubbles could talk, what would she say to you?" To which Vergara answered, "Can you bleep me, if I say a bad word? B****."
The actress also spoke about her dog troubles on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'
On Wednesday night, Sofia Vergara brought up the issues she faces with Bubbles on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." When asked about the newest addition to their family, Vergara admitted that Bubbles has even become aggressive with her on occasion. "She's after him all day long, harassing him," Vergara told host Jimmy Fallon, according to People Magazine. "It's an obsession this dog has with him. It's horrific, she hates me. She's super mean to me. She bites me! She's not that cute in person."
Despite these woes, Vergara explained to Fallon how she is attempting to make their relationship work to please her husband, Joe Manganiello. For her husband's latest birthday, Vergara made him a Bubbles-themed birthday cake. "I wanted to make him happy because, you know, that's his baby," Vergara told Fallon, according to People Magazine. "I have to say, he treats her like she's a little daughter he has."
Manganiello fell in love with Bubbles from the first moment he saw her
During an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in March, Sofia Vergara's husband, Joe Manganiello, confirmed the love shared between the "Justice League" actor and his new dog, Bubbles. Though the actor did admit that it was Vergara's idea to adopt Bubbles, it was Manganiello who formed an instant bond with the Chihuahua and Pomeranian mix. "I didn't want a dog, but of course I walked into the room, the dog perked up, looked at me, came running over at me jumping like 'pick me up, pick me up' growling at the people of the shelter like 'go away I found Da Da, so go leave' and that's how its been ever since," Manganiello told DeGeneres' cohost, Stephen "tWitch" Boss, according to Hola!.
According to Manganiello, at the time the couple adopted Bubbles from Dogs Without Borders in Los Angeles, she had 11 bladder stones and cysts that were believed to be cancerous. The day after the couple adopted Bubbles, they took the dog to a surgeon to remove the stones and cancerous tissue around the cyst. While she was in surgery, Manganiello signed the adoption papers.
Though Vergara might be struggling to get along with Bubbles, it's clear that the dog has made a positive impact on the couple's lives.
