It’s official, Sofia Vergara is in love again!

Soon after her divorce from Joe Manganiello, both were seen with new romances: Manganiello with actress Caitlyn O’Connor and Vergara with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Justin Salisman. Vergara and Salisman have been out and about for months now but have kept things majorly lowkey. However, it seems Verara and Salisman are quite serious—so serious that it seems that they said the “L” word.

On April 13, Vergara posted a few updates on her Instagram stories. Obtained by Entertainment Tonight, we can see the big photo that has people talking: one where Vergara is resting on her bed, with Salisman smiling above her, his hand on her knee.

She posted the photo with the caption reading, “If u ever get a [major] knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night!!!! Luv u Dr @jdsaliman.”

We know it’s “luv,” and not “love;” but jeez, it’s close; and it has fans talking!

Vergara and Salisman have been seen on numerous dates together since early Oct 2023, sometimes seen at A-list-packed events, and has appeared on her Instagram stories a few times now.

It’s unclear how they met, but they were first seen together going to dinner in Beverly Hills, Calif, and have been photographed numerous times since. Despite Vergara talking about enjoying her single life, it seems that after her divorce from Joe Manganiello was officially finalized after six months, she may be thinking about getting even more serious with Salisman.

And now, they’ve said “I love you!”
