America’s Got Talent had its first live show of Season 18 on Tuesday, bringing 11 contestants to the stage.

However, only two were chosen to continue in the competition: Adrian Stoica and his dog, Hurricane, and Heidi Klum’s Golden Buzzer winner, singer Lavender Darcangelo.

“Amazing night!!! see u next Tuesday!! @agt,” Sofia, 51, wrote after the airing.

The AGT judge’s post contained two photos, with the first showing her posing alongside Adrian and his puppy after they were sent through to the next round.

The second shot showed Sofia’s rarely-seen son, Manolo, 31.

Manolo took a selfie with the talented pup, smiling in the side of the frame as Hurricane’s face took center stage.

Sofia’s son seemed to be wearing a beige T-shirt with a navy blue button-up, although not much of his outfit could be seen in the close-up shot.

The Modern Family actress shared another rare photo of her son while backstage on Tuesday as well.

After the episode was over, she uploaded a photo to her Instagram Stories that showed her posing alongside her Manolo and her niece Claudia.

Both of them, especially Claudia, looked excited to be at the taping of the television show.

Sofia captioned the photo: “My faves” with several pink heart emojis.

HOWIE’S SLAM

During Tuesday night’s airing, fellow judge Howie Mandel, 67, seemed to knock his co-judge Sofia down a few pegs.

During one act, the performer asked Heidi Klum, 50, for help in finding a “bachelor” for her puppet.

Howie joked: “If I have one word of advice. If you’re looking for eligible bachelors, you should have talked to Sofia because she’s in the market right now.”

Host Terry Crews, 55, exclaimed: “No! No! We are not doing that,” as the audience gasped.

Sofia however, raised her arms in the air and shouted: “Yes!” before laughing.

After complaints online, Howie gave an insight into his joke and Sofia’s take on the controversial moment.

“I was helping Sofia!” he revealed to ET.

“I just thought, ‘Oh my god. Using Heidi to find an eligible bachelor? Hello! Who’s right here? Sofia is on the market, ready and eager!” he continued.

“And then online people said it was too soon and it was tasteless. It’s not too soon! It’s too soon when she’s still married. Last season was too soon. Even if she saw it coming. I don’t think she did. I’m just saying, that was too soon.”

SOFIA’S DIVORCE

Last month, it was revealed that Joe Manganiello, 46, filed for divorce from Sofia.

The U.S. Sun reported how Sofia’s love of partying was reportedly one of the factors in her split.

Joe would often stay away from his wife when she went out or had friends over at their $44million Beverly Hills mansion.

Joe, who is sober, “found it challenging to be surrounded by potential temptation,” according to a source.

The insider shared that Sofia and Joe experienced a “tricky past couple of years.”

Joe also rarely visited his wife on the set of AGT during the live shows.
