Sofia Vergara makes shocking confession about Joe Manganiello’s tattoo

Sofia Vergara recently opened up about how she gave new meaning to a tattoo previously dedicated to her estranged husband Joe Manganiello.

During an appearance in the last episode of The speech on May 31, Modern family one alumna revealed she had two tattoos on each of her wrists, one honoring her late brother and the other, a “J” she got for Joe.

Sofia, who split from Joe in July 2023 after seven years of marriage, said: “That was Joe Manganiello’s initial, but now he’s gone so…”

The actress admitted that the situation worked in her favor.

“How lucky am I that the guy I’m dating has the same initial,” she remarked, referring to her new boyfriend, orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman.

Sofia added that she plans to “recycle” the tattoo.

In another interview with PEOPLE For her Beautiful Issue cover story, Sofia opened up about what she wants in a new relationship.

“Health. Money. Fun. With kids. That’s it,” the 51-year-old said.

Sofia also told the outlet that she hadn’t planned on having more children, saying, “There are things in life that might seem like good ideas, but they’re not. “

“I was already a mother. I know what it means to be a good mother or to try to be the best mother you can be, and it takes a lot of sacrifice and a lot of energy,” she added.
