Sofia Vergara sparks laughter on "The Talk" as she reveals she's "recycled" a tattoo she once had for her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello, to match the initials of her new boyfriend, Dr. Justin Saliman.
Sofia Vergara made a candid appearance on "The Talk," where she shared the quirky reason behind altering a tattoo she previously had in honor of her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello.
During the show, Vergara explained that she initially got an "R" tattoo on her left wrist to commemorate her late brother, Rafael. However, she later added a "J" to her right wrist for Manganiello, referencing his nickname, Joe.
With her and Manganiello's marriage dissolved, Vergara found herself with an "unused" tattoo. Enter her new love interest, Dr. Justin Saliman, who conveniently shares the same initial as Manganiello.
"This was Joe Manganiello's initial, but now he's gone," Vergara said as the audience erupted in laughter. "So, now my new ... how lucky can I be that the guy I'm going out [with] has the same initial," she said, referring to Dr. Saliman. "The new guy. So I'm like, 'Recycle. Recycle!'"
Vergara's decision to "recycle" her tattoo sparked amusement among the "The Talk" co-hosts and viewers alike. She emphasized that she's aiming for practicality and efficiency in her life.
Vergara and Manganiello announced their separation in July 2023 after seven years of marriage. The decision was reportedly amicable, with both parties citing "irreconcilable differences."
Since the split, Vergara has been romantically linked to Dr. Justin Saliman, a doctor who specializes in reconstructive surgery. The couple went public with their relationship in April 2023, after Vergara shared a photo of Saliman caring for her following major knee surgery.
In an interview with People magazine, Vergara opened up about the challenges of dating in the public eye. She expressed frustration over how certain aspects of her personal life get exaggerated or misconstrued.
Despite these challenges, Vergara remains optimistic about finding a meaningful and fulfilling relationship. Her priorities are clear: health, financial stability, and sharing life with someone who respects her boundaries, particularly her decision to have no more children.
With her characteristic humor and practicality, Sofia Vergara is navigating her new chapter in life with style and grace. Her "recycled" tattoo serves as a reminder that even in the midst of change, there's always room for creative solutions and a bit of laughter.
