Breaking News: Sofia Vergara claims she is ‘kind of single’ despite Justin Saliman romance for more than a year…

Sofia Vergara has claimed she is “kind of single” – despite dating orthopaedic surgeon Justin Saliman for more than a year.

In an October 13 interview with Us Weekly, the ‘Modern Family’ star gave a confusing update on her relationship status, and then days later, on October 20, she was seen out with her beau again.

When discussing New York being a great city for dating, she told the outlet: “Totally. Actually, I was talking yesterday about it because now I’m single so … kind of single. [Laughs.] Anyways.”

In August, the 52-year-old actress admitted she was “enjoying life” with Justin.

She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I’m enjoying life, I’m so grateful to the people around me.”

Sofia previously claimed that she can’t be too “picky” about who she dates.

The ‘Griselda’ star – who split from husband Joe Manganiello in 2023 – revealed that she was open-minded about who she dates.

Sofia told PEOPLE: “I mean, it’s already hard for a 50-something-year-old woman to find someone. I’m not going to be now picky about, ‘Oh, he can only be a doctor. Oh, he can only be an astronaut.’ No, I mean, I’m not that picky.”

Sofia has also learned that love can be a “tricky” thing.

The ‘Hot Pursuit’ actress – who married Joe in 2015 – explained: “You never know what the future is going to bring.

“You need to always give the best that you can, be the best person to the other person.”

Sofia had claimed that she split from Joe because he wanted children and she did not, but he has insisted that is not the case.

He told Men’s Journal: “That’s simply not true. We did try to have a family for the first year and a half. And we had a huge conversation right out of the gate during the first month we dated. I said, ‘If you’re done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me, and I’ll know what this is, and that’s okay.’ But that wasn’t the case with her. And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didn’t work out. And I didn’t.

“That wasn’t inevitably why everything ended. It’s because two people grew apart, and sometimes that happens.”

Sofia – who has Manolo, 33, with her first husband Joe Gonzalez – had told Spanish publication El Pais: “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom.

“I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore.

“I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I’m also in menopause – it’s the natural way of this.
