From 2015 to 2017, Vergara was involved in a legal dispute regarding the future of two fertilized embryos produced by in vitro fertilization while she was still in a relationship with Loeb; the embryos were placed in storage in cryopreservation at a California medical clinic.After the couple separated in 2014, Loeb sued a California court for custody of the embryos, but she later dropped the suit after the court demanded that Loeb identify two women who had abortions after he became pregnant with them. In December 2016, a right-to-life lawsuit against Vergara was launched in Louisiana with Vergara's embryos as plaintiffs.
The embryos were named "Emma" and "Izabella" in the lawsuit, and their "trustee" was listed as James Charbonnet, a New Orleans resident with no relation to Vergara. The lawsuit aimed to give the embryos a chance to develop further using a surrogate carrier, therefore being born and benefiting from an inheritance trust that was created for them and administered by Charbonnet. Loeb wrote in a 2015 op-ed in The New York Times, "Keeping them frozen forever is tantamount to killing them." The lawsuit also sought to terminate Vergara's parental rights because she allegedly abandoned and neglected the embryos by keeping them in cryopreservation at a medical clinic. In August 2017, a Louisiana judge dismissed the case on the grounds that the court had no jurisdiction over the embryos that were conceived in California.
