Eric Stonestreet claims Sofia Vergara dated a Chiefs icon before alleged romance with Tom Brady

Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara reportedly enjoyed a dinner date together a few months ago. While there hasn't been any confirmation regarding their actual relationship status, Brady wasn't the only NFL player Vergara has been romantically connected with.

Eric Stonestreet, Vergara's close friend and “Modern Family” co-star, claimed that she dated retired Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Tony Gonzalez. While Stonestreet didn't know about Vergara's romance with the Patriots legend, he shared multiple details about her relationship with Gonzalez.

"Well, really? I mean, I can find out, I guess," Gonzalez said [Timestamp: 49:26]. "I don’t know. You know, she dated Tony Gonzalez years ago. That’s a great story. So when we first started hanging out, she's getting to know me, and I’m wearing a lot of Chiefs stuff. She goes, ‘Eric, are you a Kansas fan?’ And I said, ‘Yeah.’ [She said], ‘I used to date a Chief.’"

Stonestreet explained how he had no idea who Vergara was when she dated the ex-Chiefs tight end. Thus, it was hard to connect the dots of their relationship timeline. Concluding his statement, the "Domino Masters" star said:

"And I’m like, who? She’s like Tony Gonzalez, dummy.’ I had no idea. I didn’t know who Sofia Vergara was when Tony Gonzalez was a Chief. I didn’t know that. But yeah, she used to date Tony Gonzalez way back."

When it comes to Tom Brady's alleged romance with Sofia Vergara, there were previously speculations around the Patriots Hall of Famer having an issue with the six-year age gap between them. However, a report dismissed those speculations, claiming that Brady has no issues with the age gap.
