Let’s talk about Sofía Vergara, the queen of confidence. The beloved Modern Family star isn’t holding back when it comes to embracing her post-surgery journey. Just five months after undergoing knee surgery, Sofía posted a stunning Instagram photo, showing off her legs—and yes, that includes the scar from her knee procedure. Talk about owning it!
On September 30, Sofía, now 52, gave her followers a peek into her glamorous world with a behind-the-scenes shot from what looks like a photo shoot in Madrid. She’s rocking a chic white gown with a sweetheart neckline and chain-link straps, paired with silver heels. But here’s the kicker: she’s proudly extending her leg, bandage and all, to show off her progress. That’s what we call confidence, folks.
Behind the Scenes of Sofía’s Recovery
Back in April, Sofía spilled the beans on Instagram about her knee surgery. She wasn’t shy about sharing her recovery process either, crediting her boyfriend, the talented orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, for being her rock during this time. In a playful post, Sofía captioned a photo of Justin in scrubs, saying, “If u ever get a [major] knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night… ! Luv u.” Talk about keeping things light during a serious situation.

Sofía and Justin’s romance has been heating up since they started dating in 2023. Since then, she’s been showcasing their love story on Instagram, posting sweet photos of them together and being spotted out and about in public. It’s clear that Justin is not only her partner but also her biggest supporter.
A Match Made in Heaven
So, how did Sofía and Justin’s love story begin? Well, according to an insider, they were introduced by mutual friends, meaning Sofía wasn’t stepping into this relationship blindly. “He was vetted, so to speak,” the insider shared. “Justin impressed her right off the bat by showing up to their first date with flowers and her favorite champagne. You know, the little things that make a big difference.”
In May, Sofía appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where she opted for a pair of white sneakers instead of her usual heels, still in the midst of her recovery. She joked about her footwear choice, saying, “Sorry I’ve come to your show in tennis shoes. I don’t even want to look down. Tennis shoes are only for sports activities and touristy activities.” But it’s clear that Sofía’s healing journey has been smooth sailing, as she’s been sharing photos of her travels on Instagram, from Paris to Spain. In some of these snaps, she’s sporting a black corset with flared black pants, and her fans can’t get enough of her glamorous style.
Embracing Life with Open Arms
The Griselda actress recently opened up about the importance of embracing life as we age. “When you reach a certain age, you know life more,” she told E! News in June. “That’s one of the fun things about getting older: you start to realize what’s truly important in life and what isn’t.”
“I’m in a business where we’re always being looked at, and now the cameras are high definition,” she continued. “It’s different to age as a normal woman in a normal job, but to age in front of a camera is a whole other story. All of our insecurities seem to grow as we get older, but I’ve learned to embrace them.”
Sofía also shared her positive outlook on aging and feeling confident. “I want to feel good—not because of what people think of me, but because it’s for me,” the Emmy nominee explained. “I want to feel fresh, not exhausted. You have to accept that you’re going to change, but I’m never afraid to do the best that I can. If there’s something I can do to feel better without going overboard, why not?”
