Unfortunately for Mandel \u2013 and the audience \u2013 she refused to answer the question and, instead, took the arm cuff off and walked back to her seat at the judge\u2019s table.<\/p>\n<p>Howie Mandel is receiving a lot of backlash online as a result of his question, especially since it comes just a few weeks after he made a similar joke about her being single. It happened last month when Brynn Cummings (a 12-year-old mentalist and ventriloquist) was looking for an eligible bachelor for her puppet.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"12-year-old ventriloquist Brynn Cummings follows in Darci Lynne&#039;s footsteps | Auditions | AGT 2023\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TNCAC1b27As?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\">\n<div id=\"M907228ScriptRootC1509442_0c127\">\n<div id=\"AdskeeperComposite1509442_0c127\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox\">\n<div class=\"mgline teaser-14623614 type-w\" data-i=\"Xz2syM-OQ7XaCxgEJ2OY9jY6ZBaABrSUume-2UzE8k5ecaAwThXzwFJe6KG8hFaoQ-1N3L8UZpDKmnVTFtS-Dw**\" data-observe-time=\"0\" data-observe-start=\"0\" data-observing=\"yes\">\n<div class=\"image-with-text\">\n<div class=\"text-elements\">\n<div class=\"text_on_hover\">\n<div class=\"mctitle\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>After the puppet flirted with both Mandel and Heidi Klum, Mandel offered some words of advice. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for eligible bachelors, you should\u2019ve talked to Sof\u00eda because she\u2019s in the market right now,\u201d he said. While Sofia Vergara appeared to laugh at the joke, her fans online didn\u2019t take the joke very well.<\/p>\n<p>The backlash prompted Howie Mandel to defend himself in an interview with Extra. While people online were saying the joke was \u2018too soon,\u2019 Mandel didn\u2019t think so. \u201cI think as soon as you\u2019re available, it\u2019s never too soon. She\u2019s fresh, people,\u201d he said \u2013 adding that he wouldn\u2019t have said it if he knew it offended her.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Howie Mandel DEFENDS Joke About Sof\u00eda Vergara\u2019s Single Status (Exclusive)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/41T50rYGzvg?feature=oembed\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople thought that was mean and insensitive.

While their joint statement didn\u2019t provide any exact details of the divorce, they shared that it was a mutual decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have made the difficult decision to divorce,\u201d the July 17 statement read \u2013 court documents revealed that the separation date was listed as July 2. \u201cAs two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The couple had a prenup in place and the split came just one week before Vergara celebrated her 51st birthday. Several sources speculated that Joe wanted a divorce because Vergara didn\u2019t want children. \u201c \u201cHe really wanted to have a baby with her and she wasn\u2019t interested and it caused a rift,\u201d one source said.<\/p>\n<p>The former couple originally met in May 2014 at a White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner and went on their first date the following month. Joe proposed on December 25, 2014 and they officially tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida on November 22, 2015. Sofia has one child from a previous relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While recording the most recent edition of America\u2019s Got Talent on Wednesday, September 13, Sofia Vergara participated in a lie-detector exam, and the judges made the most of the chance.
