Sofia Is Currently In Recovery Mode

While the throwback clip celebrated her modeling heyday, the “America’s Got Talent” judge has also kept fans looped in on her current health journey.

On July 25, Vergara revealed she had undergone a second knee surgery. Sharing a post-op photo with the caption, “It’s done! Round 2 🙏🏼❤️❤️ #knee,” she received love from fellow AGT star Terry Crews, who wrote: “❤️❤️❤️ proud of you!”

How Sofia Is Staying Positive Through Recovery

Despite the procedure, Vergara hasn’t let her spirit dim. Days later, she shared a poolside snap with friends, her knee brace in view, flashing her signature smile. This marks her second knee operation in less than a year. Back in April, she charmed fans by posing with her adorable pup, whom she called her “recovery nurse.”

Sofia Vergara’s Personal Life Update

Just months after her split from husband Joe Manganiello, Sofia Vergara sparked romance rumors with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. Vergara and Saliman appeared together in several social media posts before she publicly confirmed her “luv” for him in an April 2024 Instagram Story.

However, by January 2025, the Colombian-born actress appeared to confirm the end of the relationship at the Golden Globes, telling Access Hollywood that she was manifesting “health, money, a boyfriend” in the new year. “Or a lover, maybe,” she added with a smile.
