Sofia Vergara on her son, the sacrifices and being a single mother

Actress Sofia Vergara feels her sacrifices were "worthwhile" when people praise her son for the way she has raised him as a single parent.

The 43-year-old actress split from first husband Joe Gonzalez in 1993, the year after their child, Manolo, was born, and she has always done her best to raise him to be kind, polite and well-behaved, so is thrilled when the young man's temperament is complimented, reported People magazine.

Every time people compliment me about my son, Manolo, it is very rewarding. I was really young when I divorced his father, so I raised him trying to set the best example and give him the best that I could. When people compliment me on him, on how well mannered, how charming, funny and well-behaved he is, it makes all the sacrifices worthwhile."
