Vergara is married to Magic Mike actor and Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast Joe Manganiello but announced that they separated earlier this year. They were married for seven years, but the actress reportedly left the relationship due to his desire to have kids.
She has one son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, 32, with high school sweetheart Joe Gonzalez.
Saliman was previously married to actress Bree Turner, known for the TV show Grimm and rom-com classic The Ugly Truth.
According to People, they broke up in 2018 when Turner filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences" after being married for ten years and sharing two kids with each other.
Manganiello cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the split. It was later reported that he wanted kids and she didn't.
Saliman is the first man that we know of with whom Vergara has been romantically linked to following her divorce from Manganiello.
"We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives," Manganiello and Vergara said in a joint social media message following their breakup.
According to sources at the time, the couple had been struggling for a while.
