Meet Sofía Vergara’s lookalike cousin and adopted sister Sandra Vergara, who just joined Selling Sunset

Everyone’s favourite real estate reality show, Selling Sunset, is back on Netflix. The show’s ninth season premiered on October 29 – and the Oppenheim Group is busier than ever, with multimillion-dollar properties on the line and tensions rising between cast members Chrishell Stause, Nicole Young and more. To shake things up even further, a new agent has joined the team: Sandra Vergara.

As for how she decided to join the hit Netflix show, Sandra sought advice from Sofía’s son, Manolo. “I only asked Manolo, and I did it. And then after I did it, I told everybody, and everybody’s [been] very happy and supportive,” she revealed in an interview with Fox News Digital.

Vergara may be a newcomer on Selling Sunset, but she’s no stranger to the entertainment industry. She has been acting since 2001, appearing in shows like CSI: Miami, The Bold and the Beautiful and Dos Hermanas. She also had a supporting role in 2011’s Fright Night. She previously hosted Good Work with RuPaul, worked as a People correspondent and, per her Instagram, is a painter and mind coach.

The Vergara sisters recently celebrated Sofía’s beauty brand Toty in Miami, later posting snaps from the trip on their Instagram accounts. The event was a true family affair, with their mother Margarita Vergara Dávila de Vergara, sister Veronica Vergara, niece Claudia Vergara, and cousins Rosa Vergara and Gloria Luque also present.
