No married man ? No problem .

After bigbreakups, it’s not uncommon for newly single people to removetattoosdedicated to their exes — although it sounds like Sofía Vergara has a better solution.

As you may know, Sofía andJoe Manganiellobroke up in July 2023after seven years of marriage. Joe was the one to file for divorce, and Sofía hassince confirmedthat the marriage ended because “he wanted to have kids, and [she] didn’t want to be an old mom.”

Now, appearing on the May 31 episode ofThe Talk, Sofía called out her son Manolo for getting too many tattoos — prompting him to point out that she has two of her own.

Defending herself, Sofía showed off the two small initials on each of her wrists and explained their meanings. On one side, she has an “R” honoring her late brother, Rafael, and on the other, a tiny “J” — a nod to her ex-husband.

But, instead of dwelling on the situation’s awkwardness, Sofía joked that the outdated tattoo now serves a new purpose in her love life.

“How lucky can I be that the guy that I’m going out [with] has the same initial,” she said, giving a cheeky shrug as she urged the audience to “recycle.”

Of course, Sofía was referring to her new boyfriend,Justin Saliman, whose convenient “J” initial gives a whole new meaning to her ink.

Sofía hasn’t publiclysaid a whole lotabout her new beau. However, she did make their relationshipofficial on Instagramin April by posting a sweet photograph of him to her story.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade — or get a boyfriend with the same initial as your ex. You can watch the clip ofSofía onThe Talkhere.
