Sophia Vergara from ‘Modern Family’ recently hit the internet with a funny little revelation about her tattoos. In a lighthearted segment on ‘The Talk,’ Sofia shared an amusing story about her wrist tattoos. Turns out one of them keeps a part of her romantic history.
Sofía Vergara jokes about “recycling” her tattoo of her ex-husband’s initial:
“This was Joe Manganiello’s initial but now he’s gone so… How lucky can I be that the guy that I’m going out [with] has the same initial! Recycle!” PIC.TWITTER.COM/IYME10OEOD

On her right wrist, Sofía has the letter ‘J.’ It is for Joe Manganiello, her former husband. They spent seven years in wedlock before they split. In her excellent humor, Sofía reportedly boasted, ‘This was Joe Manganiello’s initial, but now he’s gone!’
But here is where the story takes one very clever turn. Sofía’s new boyfriend, Justin Saliman, had a name that started with the letter ‘J.’ So this was for her just ‘recycling’ her tattoo. ‘How lucky can I be that the guy I’m going out with has the same initial!’ she giggled.
Her son, Manolo, also got in on the fun. He appeared on the show and admitted he had 34 tattoos. Sofía jokingly added that she gave him that beautiful dark skin but only saw his little inked designs. It looks like tattoo love is in the family.
They finalized their divorce early this year. Part of the reasons was reportedly Joe’s will to be a father. Already a caring mother of Manolo, Sofía felt it would not be fair to bring another child into this world without being able to give her everything. And now, with her new bf, an orthopedic surgeon, it seems she has finally found a shoulder to lean on by someone who deeply understands her and, as she mentions it, someone who ‘ticks all the boxes’
Justin Saliman Sofía’s new love interest is a well-regarded Beverly Hills orthopedic surgeon with an impressive background with the San Francisco 49ers and several university athletic teams during his sports medicine fellowship at Stanford University. The two have been spotted dating in public since late 2023, romping around Los Angeles. They have been seen at dinner, once at Los Angeles restaurant Pace and more recently at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. The two started quietly, but Sofía and Justin’s romance has since become something of a lovefest on social media.
Sofia’s goofy attitude towards her tattoo and now her being open about her love life have got followers in love with her. The fact that she finds humor in her own experiences and then expresses them through sharing with others reveals excellent affection in her. Life, love, and tattoos can find their way to meet in the weirdest circumstances, which seems to be that way for Sofía Vergara.
From her tattoo stories to her blossoming new romance, Sofía continues to captivate us with her charm and wit. Her jocular way of encountering life reminds us that we should find happiness and humorous moments in every activity. So here goes, Sofía Vergara style: recycling tattoos and finding love again!
