'If u ever get a mayor (sic) knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night!!!!' the America's Got Talent judge wrote in an Instagram story with a picture of her boyfriend standing by her bed. 

'Luv u Dr @jdsaliman,' she said, completing the posting with a red heart. 

The snap shows the Modern Family star's knee wrapped up in a bandage between a splint on the bed and the good doctor, who is wearing navy blue scrubs,  is smiling down on her with his hand on her leg.

It's unclear how the Griselda star hurt her knee of if the orthopedic surgeon is the one who performed the undisclosed procedure. 

According to his website, Saliman is the inventor of the Novo Stitch Pro Meniscal Repair system, which allows a surgeon to repair meniscus tears rather than remove the damaged area.  

The couple have been dating since October 2023, but they have mostly steered clear of talking about the other on social media.

Saturday's post gave an indicator of how far the relationship has come in the last six months.

Last week she thanked boyfriend Dr. Justin Saliman for taking care of her after the procedure via a post in her Instagram Stories

Vergara finalized her divorce from ex-husband Joe Manganiello, 47, earlier this month. 

Court papers obtained by Page Six, indicate the dissolution of the Vergara-Manganiello marriage was made in accordance with the pre-nuptial agreement the couple made prior to their November 2015 marriage. 

The documents indicated he received all of his 'earnings and accumulations' from the date of their separation, July 2, 2023 in addition to his clothing, jewelry and 'miscellaneous personal effects.'

The pair noted they never had 'any community property' between them.

Vergara's settlement was similar, providing her with her own belonging, jewelry and earnings since the separation.

The original reason for the divorce was 'irreconcilable differences' but Vergara later revealed in an interview with El País  the fracture was over whether or not to have children. 

'My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom.'

She explained to the outlet, 'I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore. I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things,' she stated.
