It's official. Sofia Vergara is dating Joe Manganiello and the new couple celebrated Vergara's 42nd birthday on Thursday, July 10.

The "Modern Family" actress looked happy and relaxed sitting alongside the "True Blood" actor at the Japanese restaurant Nobu Malibu.

Vergara's niece instragrammed a snap of the pair in front of a chocolate cake topped with red roses and candles.

A source told Us Weekly that the relationship is still "very, very new" but they are "having fun and getting to know each other." The lovebirds first met during the White House Correspondent's Dinner back in May, but Vergara was still engaged to on-again, off-again boyfriend Nick Loeb. Photos recently surfaced from the event of Manganiello sneaking an admiring peek at Vergara's backside.
