Sofia Vergara Spends Another Date Night with Orthopedic Surgeon in Santa Monica
The 'Modern Family' alum was first spotted with Justin Saliman on a night out in October
Sofía Vergara is getting to know a new man.
The 51-year-old actress — who announced her divorce from Joe Manganiello in July — was spotted on another dinner date with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman in Santa Monica on Saturday night.
The Modern Family alum walked side by side with Saliman as they arrived at Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi for a meal.
The pair were first photographed together last month, when they went out for dinner at Funke, an Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills. During the October outing, the duo was spotted both at the eatery and in a car driven by Saliman.

After the duo’s first dinner date, a source told PEOPLE that the America’s Got Talent judge is "dating and having fun."
"She is enjoying life. She seems positive and full of energy," the insider said, adding, “Sofia has been handling the divorce well. It wasn’t an easy decision, but she is doing great now."
Saliman is a Beverly Hills-based orthopedic surgeon, who operates out of Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, per his website. He previously worked with the San Francisco 49ers along with several university athletic teams as part of a sports medicine fellowship at Stanford University.

Vergara's night out with the surgeon comes months after she announced her divorce from Manganiello, 46, after over seven years of marriage.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” Vergara and Manganiello shared in a joint statement to Page Six at the time. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”
The actor filed for divorce from the Chef actress two days later, citing “irreconcilable differences” in divorce documents obtained by PEOPLE. They did not have a prenup.

At the time, a source told PEOPLE that the couple — who made their last public appearance at Vanity Fair's Oscar party in March — had been going through "ups and downs for a long time," though they "always put on a good front publicly."
Despite their shared mutual love and respect, the insider added they "differ immensely in style and what they like to do, although during the marriage, each tried to put the other’s interests ahead of their own to make it work.”
Saliman was previously married to Grimm actress Bree Turner, who filed for divorce from the surgeon in 2018 after a decade of marriage.
In her filing, Grimm star, 46, cited “irreconcilable differences,” and requested joint legal custody of their two children, daughter Stella Jean and son Dean.

Manganiello has also started dating since announcing his split from Vergara in July.
In September, a source revealed to PEOPLE that the Magic Mike star was casually dating Caitlin O'Connor.
The insider said that Manganiello first crossed paths with the Winning Time actress, 33, at a small, "unofficial" after party for the HBO drama, noting that they met “in the hot tub” and “were talking the whole time!"
Later that month, a source close to O'Connor confirmed to PEOPLE that the two are officially “dating,” and spent some time “out of town together.”
“They’re both really funny together,” the insider told PEOPLE. “He laughs at her a lot because she’ll crack these witty jokes. She’s really witty. So sweet and smart. And he’s cool. He’s cool as s---.”
