Sofía Vergara and Lionel Messi are dining out with friends.
On Sunday, the actress, 51, was pictured at Papi Steak in Miami Beach, Florida alongside the Inter Miami CF player, 36, and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, 35 and lots of their other soccer pals.
The party also included some of Messi’s Inter Miami teammates like Luis Suarez, 36, and his wife Sofia Balbi, 34.
˹It is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ calls back the souls ˹of people˺ upon their death as well as ˹the souls˺ of the living during their sleep. Then He keeps those for whom He has ordained death, and releases the others until ˹their˺ appointed time. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.(The Quran - Chapter Az-Zumar : 42)
Inter Miami midfielder Sergio Busquets, 35, and his wife Elena Galera, 33, were also in attendance for the group dinner, as well as defender Jordi Alba, 34, and his wife Romarey Ventura, 34.
Vergara wore a black lace, strapless corset with a matching peplum leather midi-skirt for the sporty night out, while Messi opted for a black jacket, Nike trainers and an illustrated white t-shirt.
The gang appeared to be in great spirits as they gathered for a group photo in front of the restaurant’s bar.
“Miami❤️,”Vergara wrote in her Instagram caption as she shared a carousel post of her time in the city.
In the following snaps, the star posed for all ladies’ group photos while posing by her table in the Miami hot spot.
Newly single Vergara’s Miami outing comes after she recently revealed she wants to spend more time in New York City due to having more options with men there.
“Who doesn’t love New York City?" Vergara told host Jimmy Fallon, 49, on Wednesday’s episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
"It’s the people, it’s the energy. I think that you have more options with men also. I’m single now!,” she said. “I’m going to spend more time in New York.”
“And also there’s great food here in New York, too,” Fallon added, to which Vergara replied, “There’s great food for when you go out on dates. It’s better, yes.”
In July, the Griselda star and her ex-husband Joe Manganiello, 47, announced their intention to divorce after seven years of marriage.
And the America’s Got Talent judge revealed in an interview on CBS Sunday Morning earlier this month that she had expected the media whirlwind that came when the news of their separation broke in June 2023.
“You’re out there [in the public eye] and people know that's part of being a celebrity,” Vergara shared. “I knew it was gonna happen. You can’t hide those things.”
She added, "I have to say the press was very respectful and very nice. I was surprised and, you know, they, they kind of just said what it was and, and that was it."
