Step aside, Patrick Dempsey: There’s a new McDreamy making rounds and his name is Dr. Justin Saliman, a.k.a. Sofia Vergara’s boyfriend. The actress confirmed she’s officially dating the hot orthopedic surgeon with a spicy post on Instagram.
On Saturday, Vergara made her relationship with Saliman social media official while infusing her signature sense of humor in the process. In a photo shared to the Griselda star’s Instagram Story, Saliman was spotted smiling, dressed in his scrubs as he tended to Vergara’s bandage-wrapped leg. “If u ever get a [major] knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night!!!!” Vergara jokingly wrote alongside the snap, adding: “Luv u Dr @jdsaliman.”

While Vergara and Saliman have been romantically linked for months now, this is the first time the Modern Family alum has publicly acknowledged her relationship with the sports doctor — much less, professing her love for him.
The couple first sparked dating rumors after they were spotted together at Kim Kardashian’s 43rd birthday party in October 2023, and again, a few weeks later at the opening reception for Salma Hayek’s brother Sami’s art show titled Frequency at Christies in Beverly Hills.

The timing of Vergara’s post couldn’t be better. Earlier this month, she and her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello, were both declared legally single less than a year after filing for divorce. According to court documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight, the pair’s marriage was dissolved and their single statuses were restored.
