Sofia Vergara is opening up to People magazine about raising her 23-year-old son, Manolo, on her own after splitting from her ex-husband, Joe Gonzalez, in 1993, and she can't help but gush about the young man he became.

"I was really young when I divorced his father, so I raised him trying to set the best example and give him the best that I could," Sofia told the magazine [1], which features her as one of 2016's most beautiful people [2]. "When people compliment me on him, on how well mannered, how charming, funny and well-behaved he is, it makes all the sacrifices worthwhile." How sweet is that?
