Sofia Vergara Hilariously Reveals How She 'Recycled' Tattoo Honoring Ex-Husband Joe Manganiello

The 'Modern Family' star opened up on 'The Talk' about how she was able to 'recycle' a 'J' tattoo on her wrist in hilarious fashion.

Actor SofĂ­a Vergara explained how her tattoo of the letter "J" that was a nod to ex-husband Joe Manganiello was "recycled" after her son Manolo put her on the spot about it.

The Modern Family star and Manolo, whose father is Vergara's first husband, Joe Gonzalez, were guests on the May 31 episode of The Talk when the topic of her son's 34 tattoos came up.


When Vergara, 51, seemed to take issue with her son's body being covered in ink, he argued that his tattoos were like "a journal" of his life.

"Stop it," Vergara bemoaned and told the studio audience:

"I gave him this beautiful 
 Latin dark skin and now you can't see anything."

"You can't see it," she continued, slightly peeved. "It's just these little things there."

Manolo countered:

"She has two tattoos herself."

Vergara defended herself by explaining that the "R" tattoo on her left wrist honored her late older brother Rafael and a tiny "J" on her other wrist was a nod to Joe Manganiello.

She and Manganiello, who is known for appearing in Max's True Blood playing werewolf Alcide Herveaux, were married for seven years until he filed for divorce in 2023.

However, instead of removing the homage to her ex the way many would after a breakup, she kept the "J" tattoo because her new beau's first name conveniently shared the same letter.

“How lucky can I be that the guy that I’m going out [with] has the same initial,” she beamed, referring to her new boyfriend, Justin Saliman.

Saliman is a Beverly Hills-based sports medicine and arthroscopy-trained orthopedic surgeon who operates out of Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

Vergara then addressed the audience and encouraged them to "recycle."

A source told People that the America's Got Talent judge was "dating and having fun."

The insider added:

"She is enjoying life. She seems positive and full of energy."
"Sofia has been handling the divorce well. It wasn’t an easy decision, but she is doing great now."

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled JD Vance Over Tariffs With An AI Video About Couches

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Vice President JD Vance—and his love of couches—with an AI-generated video to troll him over the rising costs of goods due to President Donald Trump's retaliatory tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump announced new tariffs: 10% on softwood timber and lumber, and 25% on “certain upholstered wooden products,” set to take effect October 14. The move follows Trump’s announcement last week of additional tariffs on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and other upholstered products, which will take effect October 1.

College Announcer Apologizes After Sparking Outrage With Body-Shaming Comment About Plus-Size Dance Team

In the United States, there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—schools founded when segregation laws and racist policies kept Black men and women from higher education. The schools developed their own unique culture and customs around stepping, marching band, drum majors, and majorettes.

HBCU majorettes march with the band, dance, and have stand battles during games. The dance style and moves are unique to Black culture, but have spread beyond the HBCUs to high schools and dance schools across the country.
