Sofia Vergara accepts a rose from a fan as she leaves romantic dinner with her boyfriend Justin Saliman in LA
Sofia Vergara and her new boyfriend Dr. Justin Saliman were spotted leaving Cipriani in Beverly Hills after dinner on Friday.
As the happy couple left the celebrity hotspot together, the 51-year-old Modern Family alum graciously accepted a single red rose from a fan, an eyewitness told DailyMail.com.
Then the actress and orthopedic surgeon, 49, got into their car and drove off for the next part of their romantic evening.
The America’s Got Talent judge looked stunning as usual in a short black mini skirt, which she wore with opaque black tights and a black shirt with lace detailing at the neckline.
The Griselda star had a white double-breasted jacket thrown over her shoulders and carried a large white handbag.

Fans gathered outside the new hotspot for a celebrity dinner and one fan presented the Modern Family alum, 51, with a rose which she graciously accepted, an eyewitness told DailyMail.com
Her long, brunette hair fell in loose beach waves and she wore black pumps on her feet.
Saliman cut a chic yet casual figure in a gray T-shirt with a navy blue suede goat and black jeans.
Sofia recently posted her first photo of her husband on Instagram earlier this month, following the finalization of her divorce from Magic Mike star Joe Manganiello, 47.
She shared a photo with Saliman from her neighbor’s lavish Super Bowl party. In the group photo, Justin towers over the other four people in the photo.
“Sofía didn’t want a divorce, it broke her heart, but she says that’s life,” an insider said Life and style.
‘She has done her best to move on and will come back. Friends say she seems happier than ever, and the secret is her positive and upbeat attitude.”
Sofia and Joe’s seven-year union reportedly ended because he changed his mind and decided he wanted children after all.
‘My marriage failed because my husband was younger; he wanted to have children and I didn’t want to be an old mother,” she said in an interview with the Spanish-language publication El Pais while promoting her Netflix series Griselda.
She explained to the outlet, “I don’t think it’s fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore.’
She named her son Manolo from her first marriage to high school sweetheart Joe Gonzalez, noting, “I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother.” So when love comes, he must come with (his own) children.”
‘I’m almost in menopause; it is the natural order of things,” she stated candidly.
But when it comes to getting married again, Sofia admitted: ‘I don’t need a husband. I want one. It doesn’t even have to be a husband. A partner.’
It looks like her blossoming romance with her new boyfriend could be just that.
Saliman is father to Stella, 13, and Dean, 11, with his ex-wife, Grimm star Bree Turner, 46.

In November 2023, a source exclusively told DailyMail.com that Vergara is already “falling in love” with the orthopedic surgeon.
“Sofia has said goodbye to Joe and would like to never see him again. Her relationship with Justin has ensured that she will never look back,” the insider said.
‘Justin is absolutely charming and handsome, and has a great job. He’s not an actor and has a lot of self-confidence, and she’s eating it all up.”
The insider continued, “She is very attracted to him and things are moving quickly. This is much more than a rebound. They bonded over lost love and are just having a great time together.
