Sofia Vergara, renowned for her recent role in the series “Griselda,” where she portrays a formidable Colombian businesswoman, has been making waves not only on-screen but also in her personal life. After her widely-publicized split from actor Joe Manganiello, Vergara seems to have found companionship once more, and her new suitor might ring a bell for some.
In October of last year, Vergara was spotted enjoying dinner in Beverly Hills with a dashing gentleman, Dr. Justin Saliman, an orthopedic surgeon. Clad in a striking ensemble of a black corset paired with purple suede pants and black heels, Vergara kept the details of their outing low-key, leaving fans to speculate about the nature of their relationship.
Dr. Saliman, a Stanford graduate in sports medicine, has tended to athletes from the San Francisco 49ers and Stanford University. His medical journey continued at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, culminating in his current practice at the prestigious Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Beyond his medical expertise, Dr. Saliman is recognized for his innovative contributions, notably the NovoStitch Pro Meniscal Repair System, a groundbreaking technology acquired by Smith & Nephew in 2019 for a substantial $105 million.
Despite their discreet beginnings, Vergara and Dr. Saliman’s relationship has evidently blossomed over time. Just a month after their initial public appearance, sources revealed to ET that things were progressing positively, with Vergara taking a deliberate approach to their budding romance.
Fast forward five months, and Vergara’s affection for Dr. Saliman appears to have deepened. In a heartfelt Instagram story, she shared a glimpse of her vulnerable post-surgery moment, with Dr. Saliman by her side. Accompanied by a photo of her doctor tenderly attending to her, Vergara expressed her gratitude and affection, playfully quipping, “If u ever get a [major] knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night!!!! Luv u Dr @jdsaliman.”
For Vergara, this public declaration marks a departure from her typically private stance on matters of the heart, especially following her recent divorce from Manganiello. With their divorce finalized just this month, Vergara’s newfound happiness with Dr. Saliman signals a promising chapter in her romantic journey.
As fans speculate and celebrate Vergara’s newfound love, one thing is clear: the actress has found solace and companionship in the company of a man whose professional accomplishments are matched only by his devotion to her well-being.
