What seemed like a rebound fling may actually be love. That’s right, mere months after Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello called it quits, both were seen out and about with new flames. Soon after their divorce announcement, Manganiello was seen with actress Caitlyn O’Connor, and while things are quite private with them, things may be heating up exponentially with Vergara and her reported boyfriend, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Justin Saliman.

Insiders told DailyMail that the Modern Family alum and Salisman are “moving fast,” and she may be “falling in love.”

“Sofia has moved on from Joe and would be happy to never see him again. Her relationship with Justin has made her never look back,” the insider said. “Justin is absolutely charming, and handsome, and has an incredible job. He isn’t an actor and is very confident and she is eating it all up.”

They added that Vergara is “very attracted to him” and “he’s way more than a rebound. [They’ve] bonded on love lost and are just having a complete blast with each other.”

Vergara and Salisman have been seen on numerous dates together since early Oct 2023, and this past week, they were seen at an A-list-packed event: the Frequency Exhibition at Christie’s, which was hosted by Salma Hayek’s brother Sami Hayek.

It’s unclear how they met, but they were first seen together going to dinner in Beverly Hills, Calif, and most recently, were seen having dinner at the “celebrity hot spot” called Giorgio Baldi, an upscale Italian restaurant in Santa Monica.
