Sofia Vergara Relationship
Nick was engaged to "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara from July 2012 until May 2014. In April 2015, "The New York Times" published an op-ed penned by Nick in which he argued that he should be allowed to use the frozen embryos he and Sofia created while they were still together via in-vitro fertilization. They had both previously agreed to a contract that said the embryos could only be used if both partners agreed. The case was dismissed in August 2017.
