Sofía Vergara was recently spotted enjoying a date night with her rumored new boyfriend, Justin Saliman, following her ex-husband Joe Manganiello's public display of affection with Caitlin O’Connor. The pair were seen leaving Cipriani’s in Beverly Hills, Calif., after a late-night dinner. Vergara looked stylish in a black mini skirt and lace top, complemented by a white blazer.
Vergara and Saliman went public with their relationship in October last year, shortly after her split from Manganiello. Sources close to Vergara revealed that she is growing more attached to Saliman as they spend more time together, citing their amazing chemistry and compatibility as a couple.
Saliman, an orthopedic surgeon, was previously married to actress Bree Turner, with whom he shares two children. Vergara and Manganiello announced their separation in July 2023 after seven years of marriage, stating that they had made the difficult decision to divorce and requested privacy during this transition.
Reports suggest that the couple had been drifting apart for some time, with Manganiello's desire to have children being a significant factor in their split. Vergara, who is already a mother to her 32-year-old son Manolo, expressed her reluctance to become a mother again at her age, citing concerns about being an older parent.
Meanwhile, Manganiello has moved swiftly in his new relationship, recently going Instagram-official with O’Connor and reportedly moving in together. Vergara, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying her time with Saliman, with friends and family noting that she appears particularly happy since they started dating.
Vergara's past experiences with motherhood and relationships have shaped her perspective on starting a new family. She emphasized her readiness to embrace the role of a grandmother rather than becoming a mother again at this stage in her life.
