The world of luxury Los Angeles real estate has a glamorous new face, and she comes with a seriously famous family connection. Sandra Vergara, the 37-year-old sister of global superstar Sofia Vergara, has joined the cast of Netflix's hit reality series Selling Sunset for its ninth season. While Sofia found fame as a beloved sitcom star and movie actress, Sandra is now carving her own path in the spotlight of reality television.
From Screen Siren to Sunset Strip
Sandra Vergara is no stranger to the camera, boasting an extensive acting resume that includes roles on shows like The Bold and the Beautiful and CSI. However, her latest role sees her navigating the high-stakes world of LA property as a real estate agent on the popular Netflix show. She announced her new position enthusiastically on social media, hinting at bringing "sparkle, depth, and mischief" to the famous Sunset Strip.
Her older sister, Sofia Vergara, 53, is of course best known for her eleven-season run on the award-winning sitcom Modern Family, which launched a thriving film career featuring work with stars like Sharon Stone and Reese Witherspoon. Sofia has also earned critical acclaim for roles such as a drug lord in a Netflix series and currently serves as a judge on America's Got Talent.
A Rare Family Appearance in Miami
Despite their separate career paths, the sisters recently made a rare and stunning public appearance together. They attended the Toty party in Miami last month, posing for photographs with other family members including Veronica Vergara and Rosa Vergara. Sofia captivated in a low-cut coral gown, while Sandra glowed in a pale pink strapless dress. Both shared images from the event on Instagram, with Sofia simply captioning one shot "Family!"
Interestingly, reports from outlets like E! note that Sandra is technically Sofia's cousin, but was legally adopted by Sofia's family as a child and raised alongside her. This close bond has endured, even as they maintain distinct professional lives.
Life on the Sunset Strip
On Selling Sunset, Sandra joins a formidable lineup of agents including Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan, and the Oppenheim twins, Jason and Brett. The show's synopsis for the new season promises high drama, stating that as pressure mounts in personal and professional lives, not everyone will keep their seat at the brokerage. Sandra's arrival adds a new dynamic to the established group.
While Sandra immerses herself in the competitive LA property market, Sofia has spoken about learning to prioritise time off. In a recent interview, she revealed she is now better at allowing herself to enjoy vacations, a balance she finds important despite the fears common among actors about missing opportunities.
With Sandra Vergara now a fixture on one of Netflix's most-watched reality shows, the Vergara family's presence in the entertainment industry continues to expand, proving that talent and striking presence run in the family.
