Sofia Vergara is in love with “a handsome doctor”.
O Griselda star took to her Instagram Story on Saturday and revealed a few things, including that she’s in love with Dr. Justin Saliman. Vergara also revealed that she underwent major knee surgery and that her handsome man is the one taking care of her.
In the photo she shared, Vergara is resting on the bed with her leg wrapped. Saliman is seen smiling as he wears his dark blue uniform and rests his hand on Vergara’s injured knee. In her caption, Vergara wrote, “If you ever get (major) knee surgery make sure you look for a good looking doctor who will sleep with you that night!!!!
It was in October, when the Modern Family star stunned in a black corset, purple suede pants and black heels while out for dinner with Saliman in Beverly Hills. The fact that Vergara made a big catch would be an understatement.
Saliman, for example, studied sports medicine at Stanford – where he cared for the San Francisco 49ers and Stanford athletes – before earning his medical degree at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. The Denver native, who practices at the famed Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at Columbia University’s St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City.
But wait, it gets better.
According to a Forbes report, Saliman is the inventor of the NovoStitch Pro Meniscal Repair System, which was acquired by medical technology company Smith & Nephew in 2019 for a whopping $105 million. According to your biographySaliman still uses the device to repair knee joints and is considered the leading medical expert when it comes to stitching meniscus tears.
Less than a month after they were first linked in October, a source told ET that things were “going really well” between the two, but that she was also “taking things slow.” Almost five months later, Vergara is now professing her love publicly.
The timing couldn’t be better. As E.T. previously reported earlier this month, Vergara and her ex, Joe Manganiello, were officially declared singlelegally speaking, anyway.
