The teasing started after 12-year-old ventriloquist Brynn Cummings took the stage and had Heidi Klum help her puppet Penelope pick a new boyfriend.
Afterward, Howie quipped, “I have one word of advice. If you’re looking for eligible bachelors, you should have talked to Sofía, because she’s in the market right now.”
Vergara didn’t seem to mind the joke, yelling, “Yes!” and laughing.
Joe and Sofía announced their split in July, telling Page Six, “We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
The exes started dating in 2014 and got engaged that Christmas Eve. They wed in November 2015 in Palm Beach, Florida.
