The 'Modern Family' star opened up on 'The Talk' about how she was able to 'recycle' a 'J' tattoo on her wrist in hilarious fashion.

Actor Sofía Vergara explained how her tattoo of the letter "J" that was a nod to ex-husband Joe Manganiello was "recycled" after her son Manolo put her on the spot about it.

The Modern Family star and Manolo, whose father is Vergara's first husband, Joe Gonzalez, were guests on the May 31 episode of The Talk when the topic of her son's 34 tattoos came up.


When Vergara, 51, seemed to take issue with her son's body being covered in ink, he argued that his tattoos were like "a journal" of his life.

"Stop it," Vergara bemoaned and told the studio audience:

"I gave him this beautiful … Latin dark skin and now you can't see anything."

"You can't see it," she continued, slightly peeved. "It's just these little things there."

Manolo countered:

"She has two tattoos herself."

Vergara defended herself by explaining that the "R" tattoo on her left wrist honored her late older brother Rafael and a tiny "J" on her other wrist was a nod to Joe Manganiello.

She and Manganiello, who is known for appearing in Max's True Blood playing werewolf Alcide Herveaux, were married for seven years until he filed for divorce in 2023.

However, instead of removing the homage to her ex the way many would after a breakup, she kept the "J" tattoo because her new beau's first name conveniently shared the same letter.

“How lucky can I be that the guy that I’m going out [with] has the same initial,” she beamed, referring to her new boyfriend, Justin Saliman.

Saliman is a Beverly Hills-based sports medicine and arthroscopy-trained orthopedic surgeon who operates out of Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

Vergara then addressed the audience and encouraged them to "recycle."

The insider added:

"She is enjoying life. She seems positive and full of energy."
"Sofia has been handling the divorce well. It wasn’t an easy decision, but she is doing great now."

Nancy Mace Gets Blunt Civics Lesson After Claiming Every Muslim Elected Official Is A 'Trojan Horse'

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out by CNN anchor Omar Jimenez for her lack of understanding of the First Amendment after she published a series of Islamophobic tweets, including one referring to every Muslim elected official in the country as a "Trojan horse."

Mace's posts came after Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. El-Sayed, a physician who campaigned on expanding healthcare access, strengthening the economy, and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel, became the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state carried by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He is set to face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in November.
