Sofia Vergara reveals she's found love with orthopaedic surgeon

Sofia Vergara has confirmed her new beau is a surgeon who is helping her recover from "major knee surgery".

The 51-year-old actress finalised her divorce from ex-husband Joe Manganiello on 4 April, having announced they were to split last summer.

The Griselda star has been rumoured to be dating orthopaedic surgeon Justin Saliman, a romance she confirmed in a post on Saturday that also detailed her leg injury.

"If u ever get a (major) knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night... ! Luv u," the Griselda star wrote on a photo of Saliman that she shared on her Instagram Story alongside another image of her recovering.

In the first image, the doctor was seen wearing dark blue scrubs and smiling as he rested his hand on Vergara's knee while she lay on a couch. Vergara then posted a snap of herself in a knee brace relaxing on a couch with a dog.

Vergara and Manganiello cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce. She was first linked to Saliman last July after they were photographed on a dinner date in Beverly Hills.
