During their relationship, Sofia and Nick decided to freeze embryos in case they wanted to have children. The contract they signed states both parties must agree before the embryos can be brought to life. However, the two broke up in 2014 without ever having used the embryos.
In his lawsuits, he argued that he wanted to bring the embryos to life without Sofia’s consent and explained that he didn’t like the idea of his children sitting there without being brought to life. The judge found that Loeb actually breached a contract between the former couple when he set up a trust for the embryos under Louisiana law, and sued for custody there on the embryos’ behalf. Despite his efforts, Vergara was granted a permanent injunction, ruling that the contract they signed with a Beverly Hills fertility clinic in 2013 is still valid. A judge permanently blocked Nick Loeb from using them with a surrogate.
Now, if he wants to move forward, he would have to get Sofia’s consent for anything having to do with the embryos.
Sofia’s currently married to Joe Manganiello and only has one child to date from a previous relationship.
