Sofía Margarita Vergara Vergara was born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia. Her mother, Margarita Vergara Dávila de Vergara, is a housewife. Her father, Julio Enrique Vergara Robayo, provides cattle to the meat industry. She has five siblings. She was educated at a private bilingual Spanish/English school. She then went on to study pre-dentistry. However, Sofía was discovered by a photographer, whilst at the beach, and this led to various jobs in modeling and television. At age 23, she was a runway model. From 1995 to 1998, she co-hosted a travel show, Fuera de serie (1995), which gave her exposure in the United States.

Already a prominent celebrity in her native Colombia, in 1994 and 1995, she was a guest host at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, one of Latin America's most important music competitions.

Gave birth to her first child at age 20, son Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, on September 16, 1992. Child's father is her now ex-husband, Joe Gonzalez.

While still living in her native Colombia, Sofía used to watch the Spanish-dubbed version of Married... with Children (1987) featuring her co-star-to-be Ed O'Neill. After she landed the role as Ed's wife Gloria on Modern Family (2009), she was disappointed to learn that Ed 'spoke' no Spanish.

Her son is named Manolo after the character of the same name from Scarface (1983).
