Sofía Vergara, the 53-year-old star of ‘Modern Family,’ has undergone a second knee surgery and shared her recovery journey on Instagram, offering fans an intimate look into her health. In a July 25 post, the actress posted photos from the hospital, which included images of her bandaged knee and a brace on her leg. She captioned the post with an emotional message, expressing gratitude for her recovery process: “Its done! Round 2 🙏🏼❤️❤️#knee.”

This is not the first time Vergara has needed a knee surgery. In April 2024, she had previously undergone a procedure, and she shared the update with her Instagram followers, reassuring fans she was in safe hands. During that time, she humorously referred to her then-boyfriend, orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, by saying, “If you ever get a [major] knee surgery, make sure you get a handsome doctor who will sleep with you that night… !” She added, “Luv u,” indicating her affection for him.
Following her breakup with Saliman, Vergara has been in the spotlight for her potential new relationship with retired football player Tom Brady. The two have been seen together on the Ritz-Carlton yacht during a cruise through Europe, and they have reportedly been spending quality time in Ibiza, Spain. According to Page Six, the situation is being described by insiders as a “summer romance,” with a source stating that Brady recently switched seats to sit next to Vergara during a dinner. These developments have kept Vergara in the public eye, even as she focuses on her health and recovery.
Vergara’s recent health updates and personal life continue to attract attention from both her fans and media outlets. As she navigates her recovery from the second knee surgery, fans remain hopeful for her full recovery, with many expressing their continued support and admiration for her openness in sharing her journey with the public.
