Julie Bowen Clears Feud Rumors With 'Modern Family' Co-Star Sofia Vergara; Actress Says Nothing But Love Is Between Them

Actress Julie Bowen has taken matters into her own hands with regards to her alleged feud with "Modern Family" co-star Sofia Vergara, deciding to set the record straight with Ellen DeGeneres.

In an episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that aired on Wednesday, Julie Bowen addressed rumors about the two "Modern Family" stars, who have worked together on the show for eight seasons in a row, allegedly feuding with one another. But Julie Bowen swears there is nothing but love between her and her Modern Family co-star Sofia Vergara.

"Every now and again I get a call or you get an email that says, 'Well, so and so trash mag will be running a story that you - and this week it was - are icy to Sofia Vergara because you're jealous of her fame,'" she told the talk show host, according to People.

"So I email her last night and then we talk and I'm like, 'What should I say?' because we're friends. I'm like, 'What should I say? You're funny.'" And Sofia Vergara, she says, simply responded by lending Julie Bowen one of her blouses, which the 41-year-old ended up wearing during her guest appearance on the talk show.

In the same interview, Julie Bowen also revealed that she nearly did not go through with the "Modern Family" show at all because she was pregnant with her twins, who are now seven years of age, at that time.

"We are so, so lucky [to be on Modern Family] and to think I almost didn't do it. I wanted to but I was so, so pregnant with the twins," she said.

"I'd go home and cry and think I'm never going to get this - the greatest job in the world - so I took myself out of first place for it, because there was another job that was auditioning where the lady was pregnant," Bowen continued. But when she realized how wonderful the opportunity could be on "Modern Family", she did "some scrambling to get the job back."

"I don't know what my life would be like right now," the actress said of the thought of not taking on her ABC character.

Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara's "Modern Family" is an American family mockumentary comedy series that airs on ABC.
