5 Things to Know About 'Selling Sunset' Newbie Sandra Vergara ...Middle East

Sofia Vergara’s cousin and adopted sister Sandra Vergara is poised to make a splash as she joins the cast of Selling Sunset.

Sandra signed up as the newest recruit at The O Group for Selling Sunset season 9 in July 2025 and later insisted she was a natural fit on the drama-filled reality series.

“I’ve always had an eye for design and a love for people, so combining that in real estate just clicked,” she told Tudum in October 2025. “I’d seen [Selling Sunset] and always thought the women were incredibly dynamic. But being on the inside now, it’s a whole different level of excitement.”

Prior to joining Selling Sunset, Sandra had an established career in Hollywood with supporting acting roles in daytime soap The Bold and the Beautiful and 2011 horror movie Fright Night. Sandra rose up the ranks in the entertainment industry by modeling for major publications and has worked as a beauty expert on numerous talk shows as well.

Keep scrolling for an explanation on Sandra’s relationship with adopted sister Sofia, plus more about her life and career.

1. Sandra Was Adopted By Cousin Sofia’s Family

While Sandra is technically Sofia and her sister Veronica’s cousin, E! News confirmed in 2011 that Sandra was adopted by Sofia’s parents, Margarita Vergara de Vergara and Julio Enrique Vergara Robayo, when she was just a year old.

Sandra spoke in the past about rooming with Sofia when she first arrived in Hollywood. However, Sandra told HuffPost in 2011 that Sofia never really helped with her career.

“There’s really not much anyone can do to help another person. For me, leveraging is a myth. She did it on her own. I’ll do it on my own,” Sandra insisted. “That’s how it is. As much as Sofia can say to someone, they have to be impressed by you. There’s too much competition, too many girls that are much prettier than I am. There are times when one could land a role by pure luck. And sometimes it’s the color of your hair or your height doesn’t work, and neither do you.”

Looking back on her childhood, Sandra insisted that she “never felt out of place” with her adopted parents or siblings.

“My mom always made me feel like I was one of her daughters,” she insisted. “The same goes for my dad, rest in peace. I always felt that way.”

Asked about her relationship with Sofia at the time, Sandra insisted: “My relationship with Sofia is normal. She’s helped me out in a number of other things. She invited me to live with her in Los Angeles, and that’s where I started to take off and choose what I wanted to do — and for that I’m grateful to her for everything.”

2. Sandra Is a Successful Actress and TV Host

Like Sofia, Sandra got her start in the entertainment industry as a model in campaigns for Maxim and Esquire. She made her big screen debut in the 2004 Peruvian drama Days of Santiago, before landing supporting roles in Hollywood’s 2011 remake of horror classic Fright Night and comedian Bobcat Goldthwait’s 2011 political satire God Bless America.

Sandra continued to act in Peru as she established herself in the U.S., and appeared in 40 episodes of the soap opera Chico de mi Barrio. One of her longest running English-language roles was playing femme fatale Theresa Corazon in The Bold and the Beautiful in 2013.

In recent years, Sandra has shifted from acting to TV hosting, including a stint with RuPaul and Dr. Terry Dubrow evaluating celebrity plastic surgery on E!’s talk show Good Work. She also served as a beauty expert and offered lifestyle tips on Yahoo’s digital series Hook’d in 2019.

3. She Has Been Linked Romantically to ‘The Boys’ Alum Antony Starr

Sandra was at The Boys actor Antony Starr’s side for numerous Hollywood events in 2024, including walking the red carpet at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles that September.

Starr and Sandra were also photographed arm-in-arm attending the Venice Family Clinic’s Inaugural Heart Gala in May 2024, though neither has spoken publicly about their relationship.

4. She Promotes Herself as a ‘Brain Coach’

Aside from her acting and TV work, Sandra described herself via Instagram as a “brain coach” and frequently dishes out lifestyle and sexuality tips via social media.

“Things I wish I knew when I was younger that I know now,” she began in one June 2025 self-help video. “One is to not walk through the world looking for evidence that I don’t belong because I’ll find that evidence!”

She went on, “Secondly, if I say, ‘I feel like the world’s against me,’ that’s not a feeling! That’s a belief. If you have that belief, it’s because at some point you had that experience. But you’re not having that experience right now! That experience was out of a child who was helpless and alone. In the present — no matter what happened then — is the only time we can heal. Are you willing to consider that healing is possible?”

In another video, she likened “hot and cold” romantic relationships to the high one gets from gambling.

“I don’t know if you know this … but when someone runs hot and cold with you, your brain actually releases more dopamine trying to ‘win’ them,” she explained. “That’s not love, that’s a slot machine. Intermittent reinforcement keeps you gambling every time you pull the lever.”

Another popular subject for Sandra is her criticism of “cancel culture,” which she has suggested wrongly “demands perfection from the imperfect.”

“Under the standards of Cancel Culture, almost everyone has done something that could lead to their cancellation,” she insisted via Instagram in June 2024. “You’re better off being a criminal, with the right to due process, than a public figure who faces the modern-day public trial where your very existence can be obliterated without a chance to defend yourself.”

5. She Joined Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset’ Season 9

Netflix announced in July 2025 that Sandra was joining The O Group as part of a cast overhaul for the long-running real estate docuseries. The streamer hinted that “new faces will bring new feuds into the Los Angeles real estate market. As the pressure turns up in their personal and professional lives, some might not have what it takes to keep their seat at the brokerage. As the landscape in Los Angeles quickly changes, everyone will have to adapt to a new reality.”

“The O Group felt like the perfect fit,” Sandra told Tudum in October 2025. “[The agency has] sharp, high energy, and full of people who are at the top of their game.”

Sandra teased via Instagram ahead of season 9’s premiere that she brought “a bit more sparkle, depth, and mischief” to The O Group. In Netflix’s trailer, Sandra found out that friendship is a “loose term” in the cut-throat world of L.A. real estate.

“[It’s] sink or swim, baby,” she said with a laugh.
