Recent reports claim that Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara has just begun to date True Blood actor Joe Manganiello. While rumors state that the two have only formed a relationship within the last month, witnesses already claim to have seen them kissing and holding hands.

Additional sightings mention that the 37-year-old actor Manganiello visited the 41-year-old Colombian actress over the 4^th of July weekend, and last Sunday, the two were spotted in Louisiana City, at the Li'l Dizzy's Café.

A witness told US Magazine that, "They were very friendly and took pictures with other diners," the eyewitness says, adding that they shared a table with some regular patrons since the restaurant was so crowded. During the meal, "they held each other and kissed several times."

Reports say that the two met for the first time last May during the White House Correspondents Dinner, but Vergara found no interest in Manganiello since she was there with her "then-fiance" Nick Loeb. According to rumors, since then, the True Blood actor has had an eye for Vergara and when Manganiello visited the female actress last July 4, a deep connection developed.

Some sources of US Magazine even say that Maganiello had an interest in Vergara for years, "Sofia is Joe's dream girl! He's been smitten with her for years. He's always had a huge crush on her. Things are going well for them so far. Sofia had no idea that he had been crushing on her for a while," the sources explained.

Although there is still no official confirmation that the two are actually dating, but there had been some clues left for rooting fans. Last July 9, Vergara's co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson in Modern Family jokingly posted "All these rumors are crazy... Here's the truth: I'M actually dating @SofiaVergara...it happened after @JoeManganiello & I broke up," Ferguson wrote on Twitter.

It got even funnier when another co-star of Vergara, Eric Stonestreet tweeted as well saying, "@jessetyler @SofiaVergara oh okay. that's cool. Well, now @JoeManganiello and I are dating. Sooooo. Yaaaaaa."

Meanwhile, Vergara retweeted Ferguson's post saying, "what????!!!!"

So far, no official statements have been released by Vergara or Manganiello, but their numerous public appearances and with several witnesses to validate their new blooming relationship, it is safe to say that the two are surely dating.
