Sofia Vergara, the beloved Modern Family alum, has been spotted on a date night in Los Angeles with her new rumored beau, Justin Saliman. However, it seems that Justin’s past is not as squeaky clean as one might hope.
According to reports by the U.S. Sun, Justin’s divorce from his ex-wife Bree Turner was far from amicable. The couple ended their almost 10-year marriage in a messy court battle that left both parties bitter and seeking their own interests.
Bree, known for her role in The Ugly Truth, requested the court to terminate Justin’s right to alimony and also demanded shared legal and physical custody of their two children. However, Justin didn’t back down and retaliated by asking for spousal support from Bree and even wanted the court to terminate her right to alimony as well.
The court proceedings dragged on, but in June 2018, a decision was made. Justin was ordered to pay temporary spousal support to Bree in the amount of $4,571, along with $3,183 in child support for their kids. While it seemed like a victory for Bree, the battle was not entirely won.
It wasn’t until November 2019 that the former couple finally came to an agreement. They decided to share joint physical and legal custody of their daughter and son, putting an end to their tumultuous legal entanglements.
While Sofia and Justin have been enjoying their time together, it begs the question of whether Sofia is aware of the complicated past of her new beau. The 49-year-old surgeon might have to deal with some skeletons from his previous relationship as he embarks on this new chapter with Sofia.
As for Sofia, she recently announced her split from her husband Joe Manganiello in July. The couple, who had been married for several years, released a joint statement asking for privacy as they navigate this difficult time.
Only time will tell if Sofia and Justin’s relationship can withstand the challenges posed by their respective pasts. Regardless, fans are curious to see how this new romance unfolds and whether Sofia is truly aware of the stormy path that Justin has left behind him.
