Actress and entrepreneur Sofia Vergara stuns on the September cover of Women’s Health, baring it all for the magazine’s global “Naked Issue,” which will appear on stands across 5 continents, in 15 countries this fall.
Inside, the 45-year-old Modern Family star gets real about her diet (Thursday cheat days!),
her “no abs” body, and why she lives for the side hustle (like her hot new underwear line, EBY).

QUOTES FROM INSIDE THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF WOMEN’S HEALTH
On how representation of women in media has changed:
“Here’s a woman, 45, being able to show her body. It’s not like before, when it was just young girls who would make the cover of a magazine.”
On aging:
“People say, ‘Oh, you look like you’re in your twenties.’ Well, it’s not true. Our skin is different. I had never thought of the word pore, then I’m like, ‘Sh-t! What do I do with these?”
On how her body is changing:
“I’m 45. Even if you want to, at this time in your life, you can’t be perfect. It’s not that you hate it, or that you’re upset about it, but it is our reality. We’re changing. I see it happening to me. I want to look my age, but I want to look great. I think if you are obsessed with this ‘I want to look younger’ thing, you’re going to go crazy.
On her put-together look:
“One of the first things Joe told me when we started dating was, ‘I like how you’re always very well put together.’ He said, ‘I’ve had girlfriends that are all day long prancing around the house in sweats, no makeup…’ I’m not saying that’s bad; it’s great. For good or worse, it’s the way I grew up: Accept yourself but also be better than yourself.”
On her new underwear line, EBY, in which 10 percent of sales go towards microfinancing loans for women looking to start small businesses around the world:
“In countries where there is a lot of poverty, women are such an important force for the family. And sometimes they have to endure horrible things because they don’t have the means to just pack up and leave. I want to give them something to be able to help themselves, to save some money, to be able to have more control of their lives.”
“I love underwear! I won’t sell something I don’t believe in. It has to be good, and it has to be something I really use.”
On her weekly exercise routine:
Sofia exercises three or four times a week with a trainer, incorporating the Megaformer and routines that combine cardio, strength, balance and flexibility. “Joe built a very nice gym in the house, so I don’t have any excuses.”
And while Joe, a lifelong athlete, enjoys his daily sweat sessions, Sofia says, “It’s like torture for me. I’m in a bad mood two hours before, I’m in a bad mood while I’m doing it, I’m in a bad mood at the end because I have to schedule the next class.”
On wanting to be strong as she ages:
“I don’t know if I’m strong. I have bad knees and very thin bones; I can barely do a pushup. I wish I could be a little more athletic, but when you’re born with these gigantic boobs…I’ve had them since I was 13, and then they got bigger when I was pregnant and had the baby.”
“It’s not about having muscle or cut abs. I don’t have abs because I’m not ‘I need to be like a fit model with a perfect body.’ That would take too much effort!”
On the work ethic that’s made her one of the most sought-out stars in Hollywood:
“Often I haven’t been the youngest or most intelligent girl in the room, but I always am the hardest working one. Dreams don’t happen if you just sit down and accept things.
