Sofía Vergara Clears the Air About Her Relationship Status
After months of speculation and media buzz, Sofía Vergara decided to set the record straight on her current relationship status. The beloved actress, known for her role in Modern Family, has been making headlines for her recent public appearances and comments about dating. In a candid conversation, she addressed her love life and her thoughts on the dating scene, especially in New York City.
Why New York City is Sofía's Go-To Spot for Dating
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Sofía revealed her thoughts on dating in the Big Apple. When asked about her previous comments on how NYC is the best place to date, she hilariously admitted, "Totally. Actually, I was talking yesterday about it because now I’m single so … kind of single." She let out a laugh before adding, "Anyways." Sofía, who turned 52 this year, wasn't shy about her feelings on the subject, and she even had her son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, by her side during the chat.
Manolo's Take on Dating
Manolo, 33, chimed in during the interview, offering his own perspective on love and relationships. "There’s good people everywhere," he said. "You’ve got to know where to look." His comment prompted Sofía to clarify her earlier remarks about the differences between dating in New York City versus Los Angeles. She explained, "I feel like there’s a more diverse group of people in New York than in L.A. because most of the people are in the entertainment business. Here, you have people from all over the world — architects, writers, actors, businesspeople. It’s a melting pot of personalities and professions."

Her Thoughts on Dating in NYC
Earlier this year, Sofía appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she opened up about her experiences with dating in New York. "I love it. Who doesn’t love New York City? The people, it’s the energy," she shared. "I think that you have more options with men, also." She elaborated on her preference for NYC, saying, "I’m single now, so in New York there are more people. There’s not only actors or writers or directors, I think there’s a bigger [pool]. I’m going to spend more time in New York."
Her enthusiasm for the city is clear, and it seems she's ready to explore the dating scene in a place that offers a wider variety of potential partners. For Sofía, the appeal lies in the diversity of the city and the endless opportunities it presents.
Dr. Justin Saliman: A New Chapter?
Sofía's recent public appearances with Dr. Justin Saliman have sparked plenty of curiosity. She first introduced him to her followers in April via her Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of him after knee surgery. "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," she humorously captioned the photo. Sources close to Sofía say she's been in great spirits since recovering with Dr. Saliman by her side.
"Sofía’s living her best life," an insider told Life & Style in August. "She’s spending time with her friends after being stifled in a relationship with a largely unsupportive partner." Sofía married Joe Manganiello in 2015, but the couple announced their split in July 2023. The reasons behind the breakup were discussed in an interview with El País, where Sofía explained, "My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore."
Reflecting on her past, Sofía added, "I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things. When my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I’ll give it back to him and go on with my life; that’s what I have to do."
