Vergara Reportedly Had Knee Surgery In 2024
(Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)This isn’t the first time the actress has faced a knee procedure in 2024. Earlier this year, Vergara reportedly underwent a similar surgery around the time she was linked romantically to orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. Although the actress hasn’t confirmed details of that relationship, fans were quick to point out the timing.
The “America’s Got Talent” judge shared a cheeky Instagram Story wearing a strapless white dress, her leg propped up to show the healing wound. In the post, she credited her then-boyfriend, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Justin Saliman, for supporting her through the recovery.
“If u ever get a mayor [sic] knee surgery, make sure u get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night!!!!” she joked, alongside a photo of Saliman standing by her hospital bed.
The pair have since split, though Vergara never publicly revealed how the injury occurred.
