Who Is Sandra Vergara? All About the New Face Joining Selling Sunset

Sandra Vergara, the newest addition to Netflix’s acclaimed reality series Selling Sunset, is both the cousin and adopted sister of celebrated actress Sofia Vergara. Beyond her familial ties to Hollywood royalty, Sandra has carved out a multifaceted career spanning acting, modeling, and television hosting, earning recognition across different entertainment platforms.

Early Life and Adoption

Born as the biological cousin of Sofia and Veronica Vergara, Sandra was adopted by Sofia’s parents, Margarita Vergara de Vergara and Julio Enrique Vergara, when she was only one year old. Her adoption intertwined her life with one of Latin America’s most famous entertainment families.

Acting and Modeling Career

Sandra made her acting debut in 2004 with the Peruvian drama Days of Santiago. Her early ventures into acting were soon complemented by a thriving modeling career, featuring in publications like Maxim and Esquire. Over time, she transitioned into Hollywood, landing roles in films such as Fright Night and God Bless America.

In 2013, Sandra gained further prominence with her portrayal of Theresa Corazon in the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. Alongside acting, she expanded her portfolio by co-hosting the television talk show Good Work, highlighting her versatility as a performer and presenter.

Joining Selling Sunset

Netflix officially confirmed on July 9, 2025, that Sandra Vergara would be joining Selling Sunset as part of a cast refresh for the upcoming season. She now works with The Oppenheim Group, the show’s luxury real estate firm.

In her Tudum interview in October 2025, Sandra expressed that the transition into real estate was natural for her, explaining,

“I’ve always had an eye for design and a love for people, so combining that in real estate just clicked.”

Ahead of Season 9’s premiere, she took to social media to share her excitement about stepping into Los Angeles’ competitive high-end property scene.

Insights Into Her Journey

In a 2011 HuffPost interview, Sandra revealed that Sofia Vergara did not influence her career path, emphasizing the competitiveness of the industry. She stated,

“As much as Sofia can say to someone, they have to be impressed by you. There’s too much competition, too many girls that are much prettier than I am. There are times when one could land a role by pure luck.”

Sandra lived with Sofia in Los Angeles during her early years in the entertainment business, building her portfolio independently through modeling and acting work.

Personal Life and Online Presence

Since 2024, Sandra Vergara has been spotted at red carpet events alongside actor Antony Starr, though neither has confirmed their relationship status. Outside of entertainment, Sandra identifies as a “brain coach” on her social media platforms, where she shares insights on mindset, lifestyle, and sexuality.

In one of her videos, she reflected on emotional awareness, saying,

“If I say, ‘I feel like the world’s against me,’ that’s not a feeling! That’s a belief. If you have that belief, it’s because at some point you had that experience. But you’re not having that experience right now! That experience was out of a child who was helpless and alone.”

With her blend of acting experience, public engagement, and motivational outreach, Sandra Vergara brings a unique dynamic to Selling Sunset—one that fuses Hollywood sophistication with heartfelt self-expression.
