Vergara, wearing not much, shows why the rest of us should never get in a bikini, while fiance Loeb looks on suitably smug. "Nothing like Mexico!!" says Vergara. Vergara and her businessman fiance became the subject of break-up rumors after the couple spent Thanksgiving apart and she was later spotted out and about sans engagement ring. The couple got engaged in 2012 while celebrating Vergara's 40th birthday in Mexico, but have yet to set a date. Speaking in a recent interview, Vergara said she's in no rush head down the aisle. I was thinking the other day that Americans take engagements like, 'OK, we're engaged. It means let's plan weddings.' But for a couple of Latin Americans, you get engaged, but it's like another stage in your love life. It doesn't mean, "OK, let's immediately call the flower place.' It's like another period," she said. (Vergara was previously married at 18 to her childhood sweetheart, Joe Gonzalez, and gave birth to a son, Manolo, now 21, at age 19. She and Gonzalez split up in 1993 after two years of marriage.) And if Vergara's love-life is sizzling, her career is smoking hot; Forbes magazine recently named her the highest paid actress on television, estimating that she pulled in close to US$40 million ($44.7 million) over the past year. Aside from her role on the hit television show, she's set to star in two films scheduled for release in 2014. First up is the drama Heat, alongside Jason Statham, while she also stars in the comedy Chef alongside Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Dustin Hoffman and John Leguizamo.
