For the past decade, Sofía Vergara has been a beloved figure for her role as the hilarious Gloria in “Modern Family,” which concluded in 2020. However, her personal life, particularly her relationship with True Blood star Joe Manganiello, has also been a subject of great interest.
The two tied the knot in 2015 in a beautiful Palm Beach ceremony. Manganiello, when not in the limelight of television and film, garnered attention for his high-profile Dungeons & Dragons group with fellow Hollywood stars. After seven years of marriage, the couple decided to part ways, with the announcement of their divorce being exclusively revealed by Page Six in July 2023.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
Since the separation, Vergara has been active on social media, signaling a fresh start from her previous marriage. Given her high-profile status, her romantic life has always been a topic of speculation. This interest has surged even further as she has been seen with a rumored new romantic interest, sparking assumptions about her dating life.
Recent reports from People suggest that Vergara was spotted with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman at Funke restaurant in Beverly Hills. The outing has been characterized as a romantic date, leading to speculation that Saliman is Vergara’s new suitor. While some may be hearing his name for the first time, it’s worth noting that Saliman has previously been linked with Hollywood actor Bree Turner. They were married until their separation in 2018. Turner is known to fans of the supernatural mystery show “Grimm” for her role as Rosalee Calvert. Saliman and Turner share two children, Stella Jean and Dean. At the time of their divorce, the children were 5 and 7 years old, respectively. Saliman practices at Cedars-Sinai Hospital and has previously held a fellowship at Stanford University.
Although there has been no official confirmation regarding the nature of Vergara and Saliman’s relationship, insiders have reported that the two are enjoying their time together.
“She is enjoying life. She seems positive and full of energy. Sofia has been handling the divorce well. It wasn’t an easy decision, but she is doing great now.
