— -- A "Modern Family" co-star has weighed in on the hottest new romance between Joe Manganiello, 37, and Sofia Vergara.

Julie Bowen, who plays Vergara's stepdaughter on the show, said she's never met Manganiello, but that "I saw him certainly and he does not hurt my eyes."

About the hot couple that were first spotted out in New Orleans weeks ago and most recently together for Vergara's 42nd birthday last week, Bowen joked that the two together might be too hot.

"You know it almost is like a genetic explosion and there might not be enough diversity in the gene pool because they are just too good looking," Bowen told ET Canada. "But ya know, God bless her. She's amazing and if he's nice to her, I am all for it."

Vergara and Manganiello met in May at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and rumors broke after the two were together in New Orleans at Li'l Dizzy's Cafe.

"They sat together and were definitely friendly," cashier Kathy Larsen told ABC News.

Vergara announced her split from former fiancé Nick Loeb at the end of May.
