She had her new fiance, Joe Manganiello, her parents Margarita and Julio, as well as her 22-year-old son Manolo, were in the audience too.
Also at the morning event were three of her Modern Family co-stars including Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet and Ed O'Neill and assorted family members with her for support.
Thursday morning she gave what she says will be her last interview about her battle with Loeb over their embryos.
While her pre-taped interview aired on Good Morning America, Loeb was live on Today explaining why he wants their two female embryos to raise on his own as a single father. He later gave an interview to CNN, he told Alisyn Camerota that if he started a relationship now, his new girlfriend would have to accept he had two other children, his embryos.
The pretty star and her ex Loeb are
locked in a legal dispute over frozen embryos they created together
under a signed agreement stipulating that both parties must consent to
any action taken utilizing them to produce children.
The embryos were created six months
before they broke up - around this time last year - and Nick wants to
the right to use them by himself.
Sofia had her chance to speak out about
the situation on Good Morning America which aired on Thursday - moments
after Nick gave his side of the story in a talk with the Today Show.
The banking heir insisted his intentions
had nothing to do with the actress - and dismissed suggestions he was
taking her to court because he could not get over her.
'It has nothing to do with a baby or her baby,' he said. 'Lives were created.
'I don't hate her at all,' he said. 'I have tremendous respect for Sofia.'
Sofia and Nick split up a year ago after dating for approximately four years and engaged for two.
The actress hit back at her former
flame's legal action and said on Good Morning America: 'I've been
working very hard for 20 years to get to this point where I am, enjoying
my movie,' she said.
'I promote all my movies, all my work,
but I don't like promoting my private life and I don't understand why
this person... I don't want to allow this person to take more advantage
of my career and try to promote himself and get press for this.'
She also dismissed his likelihood of
being able to take the female embryos, which he wants to take to full
term by using a surrogate, and bring up the children.
'There's papers signed. There is a court date,' she said. 'He shouldn't be creating something so ugly out of nothing.'
He told the Today show that he has told
Vergara that she can waive all financial responsibility and he will
bring up the children alone.
'I can give these children a wonderful
life,' he said. 'These girls will be raised knowing that they have a
father who fought for them.'
But he also said that he would be happy
for Vergara and her fiance Manganiello to take the embryos and bring
them to full term, 'as long as I was involved in the process'.
Hian! Is it by force??
The case will be in court on May 22.
