Vergara later posted a snap of herself relaxing on a couch while clad in a bright pink bathrobe and holding a dog. The Colombia native wore a knee brace wrapped in gauze that had an attached monitoring device.

Last week, Vergara and her ex-husband Joe Manganiello finalized their divorce in a Los Angeles court. The "Magic Mike" star filed for divorce from Vergara in July after seven years of marriage.

"It was a very amicable divorce. The parties cooperated throughout the entire process. It was very simple, little drama," Vergara's representatives confirmed to Fox News Digital.

"She's very happy and everyone's moving on."

Vergara was first linked to Saliman in July when the pair were photographed on a dinner date in Beverly Hills. 

In February, Vegara shared an update on her love life during an interview with the Daily Mail.

The television personality told the outlet that she was not on any dating apps, but she was "open to having fun and meeting people."

"It’s only been six months," she noted at the time, referring to her split with Manganiello.

"It’s weird, because I’ve now lived longer in the United States than I lived in my country," Vergara continued. "But I’m still very Latin. I workout to Latin music. In my car, it’s Latin music. My friends — my close friends — are either my cousins or the ones I met at kindergarten."

"So now I need a husband!’" Vergara added before she clarified, "No, I don’t need a husband, I want one." 

Meanwhile, Manganiello also appears to have moved on from their marriage. The "True Blood" alum has been romantically linked to actress Caitlyn O'Connor, 33, since September.

The couple made their red carpet debut in December and went Instagram official over Valentine's Day weekend.
