Sofía Vergara Shares Intimate Video Collage of Home Movies & Photos for Her Son's 30th Birthday

Sofía Vergara's son, Manolo, just reached a major birthday milestone, and the Modern Family actress marked the occasion by pulling out some rare family photos and home movies.

Vergara is often nostalgic on Instagram and digs up plenty of iconic modeling throwbacks from the ‘80s and ‘90s, but this time around, she offered an intimate glimpse into her life as a mother.

The actress posted a special video collage and wrote, “Happy 30th bday to the best son in the world!! You r smarter than u think, stronger than u seem and braver than u believe!!! Keep the good work Manolo!! Stay sexy!! love u @manologonzalezvergara.”

The video starts with a clip of Vergara holding a toddler-aged Manolo in her lap while he plays with a Barney stuffed animal. This is followed by a series of photos featuring the pair, including Vergara feeding him as a baby, the two snuggling in bed, playing on the playground, riding on boats and so much more. The new 30-year-old responded to his mom's post in the comments, saying, “I love you ☺️!!!!”

While the video collage was solely shots of Manolo as a young child, Vergara also shared a snap to her Instagram story, where her son is seen all grown up and smiling with his mom on the red carpet. She wrote, “Happy Birthday,” over the post and added a sticker of colorful candles.

Vergara also held a party for her son in her lavish backyard, which she shared in another post that said, “Happy bday Manolo!!”

And the America's Got Talent judge was certainly enjoying herself at the festivities.

Happy birthday to Manolo!
