Amidst a busy schedule promoting her latest film Hot Pursuit with Hollywood funny girl Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara took time out in between to mark yet another milestone in her American career – the unveiling of her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
She was joined by her son, Manolo Gonzalez-Ripoll Vergara, who was born on September 16, 1992. His father is Sofia’s high-school sweetheart, Joe Gonzalez, whom she married when she was 18. They divorced in 1993.

With her career breakout in Hollywood opening doors for her in film, television, endorsements, and even an upcoming Snapchat reality video series with her son, Manolo, we are not surprised that this hardworking woman has now become the first Colombian actress to make it to the walk of fame.
