Sofía Vergara is matching with her new man.
Vergara, 51, and her new boyfriend, Justin Saliman, were seen in matching looks on a dinner date at the Los Angeles restaurant, Pace, on Monday night.
The Modern Family alum embraced her new beau while they matched in casual looks.
The actress wore a loose black t-shirt, black wide-leg trousers and bronze open-toed high heels, while she wrapped her arm around Saliman’s arm.
The orthopedic surgeon sported a pair of dark wash straight-legged jeans, a fitted black t-shirt, and black loafers while carrying a black coat.
The pair were first photographed together last month when they went out for dinner at an Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills for Kim Kardashian’s birthday celebration. Their recent outings follow Vergara’s recent divorce from Joe Manganiello.
During the couple’s first public outing, they were spotted both at the Italian eatery, Funke, and in a car driven by Saliman. Since their first dinner date, a source told PEOPLE that the America’s Got Talent judge is “dating and having fun.”
“She is enjoying life. She seems positive and full of energy,” the insider said. “Sofia has been handling the divorce well. It wasn’t an easy decision, but she is doing great now.”
Vergara’s new boyfriend is a Beverly Hills-based orthopedic surgeon, who operates out of Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, per his website. He previously worked with the San Francisco 49ers along with several university athletic teams as part of a sports medicine fellowship at Stanford University.

Saliman was previously married to Grimm actress Bree Turner, who filed for divorce from the surgeon in 2018 after a decade of marriage.
In Turner’s filing, she cited “irreconcilable differences,” and requested joint legal custody of their two children, daughter Stella Jean and son Dean.
