Is “Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara engaged to boyfriend Nick Loeb?

The speculation was triggered by a Twitter photo of Vergara sporting a new large diamond on her left hand, notes the Hollywood Reporter.

Yahoo reports that Loeb, who works in business and mulled attempting to run for the state Senate in Florida in 2011, proposed to Vergara while the two were with a group of friends at Chichen Itza, the ruins of a Mayan city in Mexico. Vergara’s “Family” co-stars Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson were part of the group.

The trip to Mexico was to celebrate Vergara’s 40th birthday. Vergara and Loeb first met at a party after the Golden Globes in 2010.

Vergara's representative won't confirm the story.

The actress became known to American audiences through her role as Gloria Pritchett, one half of the May-December romance between Gloria and Jay Pritchett (Ed O'Neill), on "Modern Family." Vergara was born in Colombia and came to America to pursue acting and modeling opportunities as well as to leave the dangerous living situation in the country, bringing her mother, sister and son with her to the US.

Early in her career, she appeared in the films "The 24th Day," "Soul Plane" and "Four Brothers" as well as the Tyler Perry films "Meet the Browns" and "Madea Goes to Jail." After her breakout role in "Modern Family," Vergara has performed in the recent films "The Three Stooges" and "New Year's Eve" and has designed a line of women's clothing for Kmart.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
