Joe Gonzalez: 1991–1993
Sofía married her high school sweetheart Joe and they welcomed their son, Manolo, when Sofía was 18 years old. The couple’s relationship didn’t last, and they ended up divorcing in 1993.
As Sofía told Us Weekly in 2025, “He was my high school sweetheart. We got divorced, but we were always good friends. He lived in Colombia, so it was difficult for him to see Manolo a lot, but he’d make the effort [and they’d] see each other at least once or twice a year.”
She added, “He’s always been there, and he has a great relationship with Manolo.”
Chris Paciello: 1999
Sofía and Chris Paciello dated in the late ’90s, and the New York Post reported that “they seemed very much in love.” And that's all we know about that!!
Tom Cruise: 2004
