Sofia Vergara wasted no time re-entering the dating scene after her split from Joe Manganiello. In October 2023, she was spotted hanging out with Justin Saliman, a renowned orthopedic surgeon based in Beverly Hills. He’s no stranger to Hollywood, though, having been previously married to actor Bree Turner.
It turns out that Vergara and Saliman aren’t exactly newbies to each other’s worlds, either, with a source telling Us Weekly that they have a lot of common friends. “He’s run in similar circles as Sofia for years, so her celebrity status isn’t something that intimidates him whatsoever,” they dished. “Sofia is attracted to his sense of humor and his intelligence. Plus, he’s a total gentleman and treats her with nothing but respect. She’s excited to see where things go.” Even her friends are shipping them, with another source piping in, “They have amazing chemistry, and her friends think they make a wonderful couple.”
However, their romance was short-lived, with the “Griselda” star sharing in a January 2024 appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that she is playing the field again — and in the Big Apple, no less. “Who doesn’t love New York City? The people; it’s the energy. I think that you have more options with men also,” she said. “I’m single now, so in New York, there are more people. There’s not only actors or writers or directors.”
