FOLLOWING her divorce from Joe Manganiello, Sofia Vergara moved on with Justin Saliman.
Unlike the Modern Family actress, the latter does not work in entertainment.
Who is Sofia Vergara’s boyfriend, Justin Saliman?
Justin Saliman is an orthopedic surgeon from Denver, Colorado.
A doctor who specializes in sports medicine, Justin practices at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California.
A University of Colorado School of Medicine graduate, he previously worked for the San Francisco 49ers.
Justin is the founder of both Ceterix Orthopaedics and the NovoStitch Pro Meniscal Repair System, two inventions that specialize in joint preservation.
For his innovation in medicine and technology, Justin was also profiled by Forbes.
While discussing his contributions to the field, he told the outlet: “I can have more of an impact on humanity by solving a need in the MedTech space than I ever could treating individual patients.
“If I didn’t do your knee surgery, then someone else would. But if I didn’t build Ceterix, I didn’t believe anyone else would.
“The reason I chose to combine business and medicine is I knew I wanted to be able to make a positive health impact on a macro level.
“I realized building med tech companies was my way to do it.”
In October 2023, he and Sofia Vergara sparked dating rumors after the two were spotted on a dinner date in Beverly Hills.
