Sofía Vergara has confirmed her relationship with Dr. Justin Saliman by publicly expressing her affection for him. The 51-year-old actress praised Saliman, 49, for his support following a recent medical procedure she underwent. Vergara shared a photo on her Instagram Story showing Saliman holding her bandaged leg after the surgery, captioning it with a light-hearted comment about having a handsome doctor by her side.
Rumors of Vergara's romance with Saliman began in October 2023 when they were spotted together in Los Angeles. Sources close to Vergara revealed that the two share a strong attraction, with Saliman being described as her type due to his humor, intelligence, and respectful demeanor towards her celebrity status.
As their relationship progressed, it became evident that Vergara and Saliman were more than just a casual fling. Friends of Vergara noted that she appeared particularly happy and content with Saliman, appreciating his gentlemanly behavior and genuine interest in her.
Vergara's new relationship with Saliman comes after her separation from her second husband, Joe Manganiello, in July 2023. The couple, who had been married for seven years, officially divorced in February. Vergara cited differing desires regarding having children as a key factor in their split, expressing her readiness to embrace grandmotherhood rather than motherhood.
Manganiello has since moved on and is now dating actress Caitlin O’Connor. Prior to her marriage with Manganiello, Vergara was married to her high school sweetheart, Joe Gonzalez, with whom she shares a son named Manolo, aged 32. Saliman, on the other hand, was previously married to actress Bree Turner, with whom he has two children, Stella, 13, and Dean, 11.
