Sofia Vergara was spotted lovingly bonding with her new boyfriend Justin Saliman as they stepped out for another date night in Los Angeles on Monday.
The 51-year-old Modern Family alum, who had met the orthopedic surgeon for dinner in Santa Monica a few days earlier, linked arms with her new beau as they grabbed a bite to eat at Pace Restaurant.
The couple, who first became romantically involved in October last month, opted for monochromatic ensembles for the evening.
The actress wore a short-sleeved black shirt and loose-fitting black pants for a casual look.
She slipped on a pair of black open-toe heels and carried a crossbody bag over her right shoulder to store items she might need during the special outing.

Her long tresses were parted in the middle and flowed effortlessly right over her shoulders.
Justin also dressed modestly, wearing a short-sleeved black T-shirt and dark blue pants. He put on a pair of black shoes and placed a black coat over his left arm in case he got cold later that night.
Vergara and Saliman were seen leaving the restaurant and getting into a sleek black vehicle as they headed off together.
At one point, the Hot Pursuit actress had a big smile on her face while sitting in the passenger seat.
The two recently had fun on another date when they enjoyed an Italian dinner at celebrity hotspot Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica on Saturday over the weekend.

A source exclusively told that the star has already “fallen in love” with the orthopedic surgeon – just three months after her shock split from her ex Joe Manganiello after seven years of marriage.
“Sofia has broken up with Joe and would be happy never to see him again. “Her relationship with Justin has resulted in her never looking back.”

“Justin is absolutely charming and handsome and does an incredible job.” “He’s not an actor and he’s very confident and she eats it all up,” the insider continued.
“She’s very attracted to him and things are moving quickly.” This is much more than a rebound. They bonded over lost love and just have a lot of fun together.”
On Thursday, the two attended the opening reception for Salma Hayek’s brother Sami Hayek and his new show: Frequency, held at Christie’s in Beverly Hills.
The Colombia-born star beamed wearing a reddish dress that featured ruffled details around the waist and fell to her ankles.
She also wore a pair of open-toe silver heels and accessorized her ensemble with silver sparkly earrings. For a luxurious appearance, the actress carried a light blue Chanel handbag.
Both Vergara and Saliman were spotted in the same vehicle as they appeared together at the glitzy event.
The new couple were first introduced to each other in October last month when they had a date at Funke restaurant in Beverly Hills. At the time, a source told People magazine that the beauty wanted to “go out and have fun.”

In July, Sofia and Joe announced their shocking split after tying the knot in 2015, and just days later the Magic Mike actor filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.”
At the time, a source told People, “He really wanted to have a baby with her, but she wasn’t interested and they had an argument.”
However, another insider also told the outlet that there was “no drama” between the former couple.

While Vergara has begun to put the past behind her with her budding romance with Saliman, Joe has also moved on after dating actress Caitlin O’Connor in September.
Justin was previously married to Grimm actress Bree Turner from 2008 until their split in 2018 after ten years of marriage.
She filed for divorce and also requested joint custody of their two children: daughter Stella and son Dean.
