The Modern Family star says that photos of Manganiello checking out her backside during the White House Correspondents Dinner in May was the actual "ice breaker" for their relationship. The couple has been dating since early this summer.

According to Us Weekly, Vergara told Meredith Vieira on her talk show Wednesday, "It was really funny because I didn't know that had happened until I started really going out with him. Somebody sent me the pictures and I confronted him about it and he was like 'Yeah, I can't excuse myself. I was there.'"

Earlier this month, Vergara's ex-fiancé Nick Loeb allegedly insulted the actress by insisting that she doesn't dress "classy."

Speaking to The New York Post, Loeb potentially hinted that one of the reasons why the ex-couple called it quits is because of Vergara's sexy style and fashion choices.

He told the website, "I'm sort of conservative, so I like a girl to dress a little classier. I've always sort of liked the more classic, elegant look on a woman."

Loeb also interestingly added his two cents about Manganiello.

When asked what he thinks about Vergara dating the True Blood hunk, Loeb said he can see why the two make a stunning-looking pair. Vergara and Manganiello began dating earlier this summer as the Hollywood actress broke off her on-again and off-again engagement to Loeb.

He said, "He's a great-looking guy. I guess if I was a girl, I'd be dating him, too."
