Following her divorce, Sofía Vergara, 52, didn’t remain single for long. She’s been in a relationship with Dr. Justin Saliman for several months and recently posted vacation pictures from their trip to Italy.
Sofía and Joe Manganiello ended their marriage of seven years, citing irreconcilable differences. Nonetheless, Sofía later revealed that the real reason for their split was Joe’s wish to have a child together. She explained, “My marriage fell apart because my younger husband wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an older mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect those who choose that path, but it’s not for me anymore.”
At 51, Sofía has found love with 49-year-old Dr. Justin Saliman. Following a major knee surgery, Dr. Saliman supported her both medically and emotionally. Sofía expressed her gratitude on social media, writing, “If you ever get major knee surgery, make sure you have a handsome doctor who will stay with you that night!!!”
The couple first captured the public’s attention in October 2023, and their relationship has continued to thrive. Well-known for her vibrant personality and successful career, Sofía has found a partner who isn’t fazed by her fame. Dr. Saliman, familiar with the celebrity world, admires Sofía for her wit and charm. Friends of the couple are thrilled, noting the joy in Sofía’s eyes and the respectful way Dr. Saliman treats her.
In July 2024, the couple holidayed in Italy. Sofía shared photos and excited comments about the trip, captioning one set of pictures with “I’m staying.” In the first photo, Sofía was seated in a stunning yellow sundress, looking as beautiful as ever.
The second photo featured her boyfriend lounging on the sofa. People started commenting on the post, all noting the same thing—that Justin is the ideal match for Sofía. One commenter said, “This one [boyfriend] is more elegant.” Another wrote, “Very handsome man, happy for you, Sofía!” Another commenter pointed out, “We approve of the new guy!”
