June 2014: Jesse Tyler Ferguson gives Sofía's number to Joe
Joe wanted to get to know Sofía better and it was the actress' ‘Modern Family’ co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson who passed on her number.
In an appearance on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’, Ferguson recalled: “When she broke up with her fiancé at the time, Joe - like, immediately, the moment it was out in the world - called me and was, like, 'I need her number.' And then I called Sofía and I was, like, 'Can I give Joe your number?' And she was, like, 'Ay, no!' ... but like, wanting me to give the number, 'Oh no, you go ahead, okay, okay.' And so, I did the number exchange and he took over from there."
