Sofia Vergara has been seen for the first time in public without her wedding ring since she announced she was divorcing husband of seven years Joe Manganiello.
The 51-year-old Modern Family veteran appeared to be in great spirits as she smiled while in Los Angeles on Monday, even flashing a thumb's up to let everyone know she is fine.
The Colombia native was dressed down for comfort in a casual gray shirt with blue Nike sweatpants and sneakers as she carried a white woven purse crossbody style.
Eyes were not on her attire, however, but rather on her left hand as she did not have on her huge diamond wedding ring from the 46-year-old Magic Mike actor.
The two announced their split earlier this month, then she was seen living her best life while in bikinis in Italy. Now she is finally back to reality in LA.

Nude hand: She had no rings on at all
The star had on no rings at all.
And she did not try to hide her left hand as she had it in full view.
The diamond engagement ring was quite the showstopper.
Joe proposed to Sofia on Christmas Eve in 2014 with a massive diamond.
It was a vintage-style platinum halo ring with a large cushion cut center diamond.
Jewelers have guessed it to be between 5 to 7 carats at a cost of $500,000 or more.
She used to wear it all the time, whether she was shopping with pals in Beverly Hills, shooting her TV show or hitting a red carpet.
But now it appears to be off for good.
Also absent on Monday was her sexy attire. Sofia made the rare move of covering up her dynamic figure. Usually she is seen in skintight jeans and tank tops with platform heels or mini dresses. But on this day she covered up quite a bit.
Her dark gray top was long sleeved with a round neck and plenty of material; in other words it did not hug her famous shape.
Her sweatpants were oversized as well as they fell off her hips and completely covered her sculpted legs. Even her shoes were not the norm; instead of heels the TV star wore white chunky sneakers.

Her glam was pretty, however, as she wore her long highlighted hair down over her shoulders, adding pink tinted sunglasses and mauve rose colored lipstick.
And there was added sparkle with gold earrings.
She was seen walking through a parking lot and then to a store.
It was claimed last week that Sofia is in good spirits these days. She is doing great after feeling 'stifled' in her relationship with Manganiello, it was alleged.
A close friend of the now-single actress told Page Six that she is, 'living her best life. She's spending time with her friends after being stifled in a relationship with a largely unsupportive partner.'

The source further informed the outlet, 'Sofía was always there to take care of Joe, while his career was never what it was when they met.
'I think he’s been threatened by her success and joie de vivre,' which means an exuberant enjoyment of life.
It was added that Joe 'always loves being out and about and just having a good time. And then when it is time to be serious and when it is time to get to work, he turns on that part of himself, but he is always ready to live life to the fullest and go out and just be fun and have fun.'
PageSix also alleged that the actor was yearning to have kids and it was only getting worse as he approached 50.
The site added that is 'unclear' where Vergara 'stood on the subject when they wed in 2015.'
In an interview from 2016 the siren from Colombia said that Joe wanted kids and she was open to more children but it was not going to happen 'naturally.'
The beauty is already mom to 31-year-old Manolo with her first husband, Joe Gonzalez.

It seems as if she did want a second child at some point in her life. In 2016 she told The Edit Magazine that kids were a possibility with Joe.
'I wouldn't mind another child,' she said. 'He wants kids.'
She also noted that she and Joe were trying to sort what to do. 'The idea of doing it all again doesn't scare me. But, hey, it's not like it's going to happen naturally, is it?'
And she talked her age as well. 'Back in my mom's era, 40 was considered old, but now I don't think it is,' she said at the time when she was 43.
And she may have wanted kids before she met Joe, when she was with her former fiancé Nick Loeb. That is why she frozen embryos from her 2013 IVF treatments.
The two have had a massive court battle over ownership over the embryos. A judge ruled in her favor in March 2021.

Manganiello officially filed for divorce from Vergara citing 'irreconcilable differences'. The former couple are said to have a prenuptial agreement in place that will see them keep the assets they have accumulated during their union.
According to TMZ, Joe's lawyer Laura Wasser filed the divorce documents on Wednesday, with the date of separation listed as July 2, 2023.
Sources told the website that Sofia will not contest it, and the star and America's Got Talent judge are set to fork out for their own legal fees.
What's more, the former couple are said to have had differing opinions about having children.
Sofia and Joe - who married in a lavish, star-studded Palm Beach ceremony in November 2015 in front of 400 guests - confirmed this week they have made the 'difficult' decision to split.
They said in a statement: 'We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.'
The pair met through the actress' former co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in 2014, when she was engaged to businessman Nick Loeb.
Manganiello asked for the actress' number a few weeks later when she split with Loeb.
He PEOPLE in 2020: 'I knew pretty quickly that I could trust her, and she knew pretty quickly that she could trust me. And we're both the kind of people who are capable of putting the other person ahead of ourselves. I was capable of putting her wishes ahead of mine, whatever they were, and she was capable of doing the same. Once you have that, you don't let go of it.'
