The Modern Family star, who plays foxy, lively housewife Gloria Delgado Pritchett on the Emmy-winning series, says she isn't bothered by the extra attention she gets for owning her sex appeal.

Sofia Vergara, 39, talking to FOX News further said, “"I love it. Of course, it's great at my age. It's fantastic.”

Vergara’s next role, a real life role, may be a politician’s wife as her boyfriend Nick Loeb is considering running for a U.S. Senate seat from Florida next year.

Nick Loeb, a banking heir and environmental consultant, said about his potential campaign, "The Emmys are September 18 and I'll probably make a decision after that." Glad he's got his priorities straight!
