Sofía Vergara has professed her “luv” for her new beau, Dr Justin Saliman.

The former Modern Family star, 51, thanked the orthopaedic surgeon via her Instagram Stories on Friday while revealing she recently underwent knee surgery.

“If u ever get a mayor (sic) knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night!!!!” she captioned the snap of her smiling boyfriend who was standing near her bed while wearing blue scrubs.

“Luv u Dr @jdsaliman,’” she added with a heart emoji.

It’s unclear as to why the actress underwent surgery on her knee.

Reps for Vergara didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The Griselda actress went public with her new relationship with Dr Saliman last October, three months after she and her ex-husband Joe Manganiello split after seven years of marriage.

Dr Saliman was previously married for 10 years to actress Bree Turner, 47, with whom he shares two children. They divorced in 2018.

Page Six exclusively reported that Manganiello, also 47, and Vergara announced their separation last July.

“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the exes said in a joint statement at the time. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

We previously reported that the former lovebirds had been “growing apart for a while” and were “taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future”.

In January, the Colombian-American actress opened up about the divorce, telling El País that her marriage ended because “my husband was younger”.

“He wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mum,” she explained. “I feel it’s not fair to the baby.”

The America’s Got Talent judge is already a mother to 32-year-old son Manolo, whom she shares with her first ex-husband, Joe Gonzalez.

Manganiello has also moved on from the marriage.

The Magic Mike actor and his new girlfriend, Caitlin O’Connor, moved in together in February — the same month he and Vergara finalised their divorce.
