Sofia Vergara is having the time of her life surrounded by her loved ones following her divorce from Joe Manganiello, and her recent split from orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. The Colombian icon was recently in New York City partying with country singer Boone and Nicole Scherzinger, with her fans wondering why Justin is not in the picture anymore.

The 'Griselda' star finished her 7-year marriage with Manganiello in the summer of 2023 and started dating Saliman in October of the same year. She was photographed going on romantic dates with the orthopedic surgeon in Beverly Hills and confirmed their relationship after sharing photos of him while vacationing with her family around Europe.

Sofia also met Justin's family and the pair seemed to be going strong. However, the former couple seems to be in different life chapters, as a source revealed to OK Magazine.  “Sofía’s all about spontaneity and having fun, and Justin’s a professional with a schedule; he can’t jet off at the last moment,” this insider shared.

Sofia is spending the holidays in Los Angeles with her inner circle and her adorable pup Amore, after spending a tropical getaway with her family in Casa Chipi Chipi, which is believed to be in Colombia.
