Sofia Vergara’s New Relationship: It’s Instagram Official
According to E! News, Sofia posted a story on her Instagram page that showed a man standing next to her bed.
He was dressed in surgeon’s clothes, and he was assisting Sofia with her leg, which was wrapped in bandages.
Sofia captioned the story by saying that if you ever get major knee surgery, make sure you have a handsome doctor who will sleep with you that night.
She then sent her love to the man in the picture and tagged him in it.
Who is Sofia’s Mystery Man?
The man in question is Justin Saliman, an orthopedic surgeon.
She and Justin first sparked rumors that they were dating back in 2023.
They were seen having a night out together, and then, in early 2024, they were also spotted having dinner together.
According to US Weekly, friends of the couple started to speak out and say that Sofia was very happy with Justin.
They started their relationship off slow, but over the months, they’ve been growing closer and closer.

Part of the reason Sofia has been falling for Justin is because of how he treats her.
Friends call him a gentleman who has a lot of respect for Sofia.
They also said that his humor and intelligence are two things that Sofia loves about him.
More importantly, Justin isn’t worried about Sofia’s celebrity status.
Since he’s a surgeon, he already has his own business to focus on.
They’re not two people who have to share the spotlight.
Why Did Sofia and Joe Get Divorced?
Justin is also closer to her age, which might be another reason things are working out.
Sofia said that the major reason she and Joe divorced was because of the age difference between them.
They were at two different points in their lives.
Joe wanted to have children, in particular, and Sofia didn’t want any more children.
She already had a child with a former ex-husband, and since he was an adult, she was more focused on grandchildren than children.
That reason, along with their different lifestyles, eventually led the pair to divorce.
When it came to their lifestyles, Joe preferred to stay at home.
Sofia preferred to go out.
The incompatibility was another factor that led to the end of their relationship.
Justin seems to enjoy going out since the paparazzi have captured him and Sofia together out in LA many times.
Justin and Sofia weren’t total strangers when they first started dating, either.
They ran in the same circle for years, so they knew of each other.

Joe has moved on from Sofia, too.
He was first spotted with Caitlin O’Connor back in September.
They were working out together at a gym before they left in the same car.
She has also joined him for a few red carpet events.
Friends of the couple have said that they’re very happy together and are even considering getting married soon.
They both want to have children and seem to share the same goals, interests, and lifestyles.
As for Sofia, her Instagram post has introduced her relationship to the public, and it seems they’re going strong.
