Nicholas Mears Loeb (born August 2, 1975) is an American businessman and actor. He is known for his work in business, his political activities, and his roles in movies.

Early Life and Education

Nick Loeb was born in 1975. His father, John Langeloth Loeb Jr., was a former United States Ambassador to Denmark and also served as a representative to the United Nations. Nick has one half-sister, Alexandra Loeb Driscoll.

When Nick was one year old, his parents divorced. He was raised by his father in New York City. He went to the Collegiate School and Loomis Chaffee School. He also lived in Denmark for three years when his father was working there. In 1998, Nick graduated from Tulane University with a degree in management and finance.

Career and Business Ventures

After college, Nick Loeb worked in the film industry. He worked with director Mike Nichols on the movie Primary Colors. He also produced and acted in a movie called The Smokers. He was also a producer for a PBS documentary series called The Living Century.

Later, Nick moved to Florida. He worked with Lehman Brothers, a financial company. He then started his own company, Carbon Solutions America. This company helps other businesses and governments with advice on climate change. He even helped create the country's first carbon neutral wine, which means its production had no net impact on the environment.

In 2006, he started Loeb's Foods. In 2011, he founded the Crunchy Condiment Company. This company sells a popular fried onion topping called Onion Crunch. You can find their products in many stores across the country.

Political Activities

Nick Loeb has also been involved in politics. In 2005, he ran for a position on the city commission in Delray Beach, Florida, but he did not win.

In 2008, he helped with Rudy Giuliani’s campaign for president. In 2009, he planned to run for a state Senate position as a Republican. However, he decided not to continue his campaign. He made sure to pay back all the people who had donated money to his campaign.

In 2011, Nick decided not to run for the United States Senate. This was because he had serious injuries from a car accident in 2010. Nick describes his political views as being like "Teddy Roosevelt Republican," which means he believes in strong government regulation and conservation.

Personal Life and Family

Nick Loeb was married to a model named Anna Pettersson, but they later divorced. He then became engaged to the actress Sofía Vergara, who is famous for her role in the TV show Modern Family. They were together for two years before getting engaged in 2012. However, in May 2014, they decided to end their engagement.

Legal Discussions About Embryos

After their engagement ended, Nick Loeb and Sofía Vergara had a legal disagreement about some frozen embryos they had created together. Nick wanted to use the embryos, but Sofía wanted them to remain frozen. They had signed an agreement earlier that said nothing could be done with the embryos without both of their permission.

Nick argued that this agreement should not be valid because it didn't clearly state what would happen if they separated, which is a requirement under California law. In 2016, Nick dropped his case in California. However, he refiled the case in Louisiana, with the embryos listed as the plaintiffs (the ones bringing the lawsuit). In August 2017, a judge in Louisiana dismissed the case. The judge said that the court in Louisiana did not have the power to decide on the case because the embryos were created in California.
