Sofia Vergara, well-known for her marriage to Magic Mike actor Joe Manganiello, made headlines when news of their split surfaced. Following their separation, Manganiello appeared to re-enter the dating scene swiftly.
Now, it appears that Vergara is also back on the market and has already found a new companion. Read on to discover the identity of her rumored beau!
Recently, Sofia Vergara has been garnering attention due to her role in the latest series, Griselda, where she portrays a formidable Colombian businesswoman who establishes one of the most successful cartels in history.
In her personal life, the actress made waves a few months ago following her high-profile split from actor Joe Manganiello. It appears that Vergara is now ready to move forward, sparking speculation about a new romantic interest.
Last October, Vergara was photographed heading out to dinner with Dr. Justin Saliman, an orthopedic surgeon. Dressed in a black corset paired with purple suede pants and black heels, she was spotted in Beverly Hills alongside her date. However, Vergara has remained tight-lipped about the nature of their relationship and whether it is serious.
Dr. Justin Saliman, a graduate in sports medicine from Stanford, has an impressive professional background. He has provided care for athletes from the San Francisco 49ers and Stanford during his time at Stanford University. Later, he obtained his medical degree from the University of Colorado School of Medicine and currently practices at the renowned Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Additionally, he completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center of Columbia University in New York City.
Beyond his medical career, Dr. Saliman is also an inventor, credited with developing the NovoStitch Pro Meniscal Repair System. This innovative technology was acquired by medical technology company Smith & Nephew in 2019 for a substantial $105 million. Notably, Dr. Saliman continues to utilize the device for knee joint repairs and is recognized as a leading authority on meniscus tear repair.
Regarding his relationship with Vergara, just a month after their initial sighting together in October, a source informed ET that things were progressing well and that Vergara was taking a cautious approach to their relationship.
