Let me tell you something about Sofía Vergara. On the surface, 2024 was a blockbuster year for her. She starred in the Netflix sensation Griselda and lent her voice to the global box office hit Despicable Me 4. Not to mention, her thriving business ventures kept growing. But here's the twist—a source close to the star revealed exclusively to Closer that Sofía feels underappreciated and unsure about how to ascend to true A-list status in Hollywood's competitive world.
Here's what the insider had to say: “Sofía had an incredible year, and yet, there’s this hollow feeling around her that no one seemed to care or even notice. She was part of some major hits in 2024.” It's like she was delivering knockout performances, but somehow, the world didn't seem to take notice.
According to the insider, Sofía's downward spiral began in September, specifically at the Emmys. “It all started there,” the friend says, “where she was a shoo-in and left feeling like an also-ran.”

Sofía, now 52, was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Griselda, but she lost to the legendary Jodie Foster. After the ceremony, the Modern Family alum joked that she felt "robbed," and guess what? The source confirms there was more truth to that than just a playful remark.
Losing an award can sting, but for Sofía, it went deeper. This disappointment began to seep into other areas of her life, affecting her self-confidence. “This gloomy cloud has also messed with her personal life,” the insider shares, adding that her current state of mind has left her feeling single again.
In early October, Sofía dropped a hint about her relationship status, sparking rumors that she might have parted ways with Dr. Justin Saliman, the orthopedic surgeon she's been linked to since October 2023. Speaking to Us Weekly, the mother-of-one said, “Now I’m single—kind of single,” when asked about her preference for dating in New York City versus Los Angeles. While her statement was vague, it definitely suggests that things aren’t rosy with the good doctor.
Overcoming Challenges: A New Chapter for Sofía
The insider insists that, despite being single, Sofía doesn't lack for admirers. But right now, she's letting these setbacks get to her, and that's a significant change. The dream of becoming a true Hollywood A-lister has been weighing heavily on her since the Emmy snub.
“Sofía has achieved so much, but reaching that next level—where she doesn’t have to fight for every opportunity—has been elusive,” the source explains. “Sofía’s not done with Hollywood—she still has big dreams—but the momentum seems to have slowed down a bit.”
A Glimmer of Hope on the Horizon
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Griselda still has a shot at more awards, which could lift Sofía's spirits and reignite her confidence in both her career and personal life. She’s currently working on more voice projects, and there are still chances for significant televised awards, especially at the upcoming Golden Globes and the 2025 SAG Awards.

However, having been disappointed once, the insider notes that Sofía isn’t getting her hopes up this time. “She’s not at the point where she’s picking out dresses,” the source reveals.
