The “Modern Family” actor opened up about introducing the couple during a 2015 episode of CBS’s “The Late Late Show With James Corden.”
Ferguson said, “I knew Joe sort of through people. We’d done benefits together. I knew Sofia from working with her. We were at a party together, and I introduced them. I said, ‘Have you ever met Sofia?'”
He continued, “When she broke up with her fiancé at the time, Joe immediately — the moment it was out in the world — called me and was like, ‘I need her number.’ And then I called Sofia and was like, ‘Can I give Joe your number?'”
Although Ferguson said the actress acted bashful at first, he added that she did grant him permission to pass her number along.
“I did the number exchange, and he took over from there,” Ferguson said.
The couple wed in 2015.
