“That they had a special time together partying within the Hollywood Hills and having a blast. Sofia wasn’t really giving out the signals back then that she wanted anything long-term, so it petered out in a completely amicable fashion and so they remained friends,” the insider further alleged.
“It’s all the time eaten away at Tom that he dumped Sofia and selected Katie.”

“She was fundamentally fearful of Scientology,” certainly one of Vergara’s friends told Morton. “She sincerely believed that she could be struck down by God and burn in hell if she joined.”
The reported romance subsequently ended.
