Modern Family star Sophia Vergara has revealed she is thinking about freezing her eggs so she can have a child with her partner Nick Loeb as she approaches 40.

The model and actress already has a grown-up son from her first marriage to her childhood sweetheart Joe Gonzalez in the early 90s.

But she has been in a serious relationship with Nick since 2010, and is clearly hoping to add to her family with the environmental businessman.

Sofia, 39, told In Style magazine: 'I guess I am going to think about freezing my eggs.'

And it is clear from the way she talks about the entrepreneur, whose father is a former US ambassador, how smitten she is with him.

Talking about why she was first attracted to him, she said: 'The most important thing was that he was very handsome.

'But he was also very funny, talking s*** to me like a normal person.'

The duo have already been through a lot together, and Sophia helped nurse him back to health following a serious car crash in 2010.

But that is not the only trauma she has had to come through in her private life.

Her brother Rafael was kidnapped and killed in 1998 in her homeland.

She had already moved from Colombia to the U.S. at the time, and relocated some of her family to live with her in Miami.

And the star, who was named AskMen's most desirable woman of 2012, credits them for helping her through tough times.
