Sofía Vergara opens up about the life of a single lady!

The Griselda star, 51, said she hopes to “spend more time” in New York because she prefers the men there in Wednesday’s episode of the show The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

“I like it, who doesn’t like New York?” Vergara told host Jimmy Fallon (49).

“It’s people, it’s energy. I think you have more options with men too. Now I’m single!”

“So there’s not just actors or directors in New York, I mean… I’m going to spend more time in New York,” she added with a smile.

“There’s great food here in New York, too,” Fallon interjected.

“There is great food for going out on dates. It’s better, yes,” the actress agreed.

Vergara’s comments come amid her divorce from Joe Manganiello, 47, after seven years of marriage, which was announced in July.

And in November, it appeared the actress had already started dating as she was spotted out for dinner with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman in Los Angeles.

Elsewhere on the show, Vergara talked about her Modern family reunion in November.

“We haven’t seen each other in almost, I think it’s been four years since I did this at my house in November,” Vergara said of hanging out with her co-stars.

“It was weird, it was crazy because we were together for 11 years, five days a week. It was hard because we were always talking.”

Fallon then asked Vergara if she would be in favor of rebooting the series, which ended in 2020.

“It’s only been four years, it doesn’t seem right,” Vergara replied.

“I feel like we need a little more time…well, we don’t have much time because Eddie is old!” she joked about former colleague Ed O’Neil, who is 77 years old.
