Sofía Vergara is embracing her journey of recovery and self-acceptance with confidence. The 52-year-old actress shared a striking new photo on Instagram while vacationing in Madrid, showcasing her knee surgery scar just five months after the procedure.
Stylish and Confident
In the snapshot, Sofía can be seen enjoying a beverage and sporting a chic white gown with a sweetheart neckline and chain link straps, paired with glamorous silver heels. The photo, taken during what appeared to be a photo shoot, highlighted her long legs and the bandage around her knee, a reminder of her recent surgery.
Back in April, Sofía had opened up about her knee surgery on social media, humorously noting the importance of having a good-looking orthopedic surgeon—her boyfriend, Justin Saliman—by her side during recovery. “If you ever get a [major] knee surgery, make sure you get a handsome doctor who will sleep with you that night…! Love you,” she quipped, sharing a photo of Justin in scrubs.
A Blossoming Romance
Sofía and Justin, who have been linked since 2023, were introduced by mutual friends. An insider revealed that he impressed her on their first date with flowers and her favorite champagne, setting a charming tone for their relationship.
Recovery Journey
Earlier this year, Sofía appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! wearing white sneakers instead of her signature heels as she continued her recovery. “Sorry I’ve come to your show in tennis shoes,” she joked, indicating her eagerness to return to her stylish ways.
Sofía has been active on social media throughout her recovery, sharing her travels from Paris to Spain, where she’s flaunted various glamorous looks, including a black corset and flared pants. Fans have responded enthusiastically, praising her beauty and style.
Embracing Aging
In a recent interview, Sofía reflected on the joys and challenges of aging in the public eye. “When you reach a certain age, you know life more,” she shared, emphasizing the importance of recognizing what truly matters.
She also acknowledged the unique pressures of aging as a public figure, saying, “To age in front of a camera is completely different. All of our insecurities become even bigger once you get older.” Yet, she maintains a positive outlook, focusing on feeling good for herself rather than for others.
“I want to feel fresh—not exhausted,” Sofía explained. “You have to accept that you’re going to be different, but also, I’m never afraid to do the best that I can.” Her journey of self-acceptance and confidence continues to inspire her fans as she embraces life after surgery.
