Sofia Vergara says she's 'kind of single' even though she has been linked to orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman for over a year.
The America's Got Talent judge, 52 — who recently put on a busty display in New York City — got candid about her relationship status during an interview with US Weekly on Thursday.
When asked if she still thinks New York City is the best place to date after making the remark earlier this year, the starlet immediately agreed.
'Totally. Actually, I was talking yesterday about it because now I’m single so … kind of single. Anyways,' she laughed.
The Modern Family star's remarks come as a surprise as she had recently been seen with her supposed boyfriend while out a drive on Sunday in Los Angeles.

The duo was first linked back in October 2023 when set up on a blind date by mutual friends. At the time, an insider told Life & Style that the orthopedic surgeon impressed Vergara by showing up to their first date with flowers and her favorite champagne.
They were spotted for a second time a month later in Santa Monica, leading fans to speculate they were in a relationship.
Another one of their first dates took place at Beverly Hills' Funke, with another source telling People that Sofia was 'dating and having fun.'
Weeks after, the Griselda star confirmed their relationship by posting photos of them together while on a family vacation in Italy.
Prior to their relationship, Sofia had been married to actor Joe Manganiello, 46, for eight years before calling it quits last July.
Saliman is no stranger to dating actresses. He wed actress Bree Turner, 47, in 2008. They have a daughter, Stella, 14, and a son, Dean, 12.
Turner filed for divorce in 2018, citing irreconcilable differences.
Saliman — who grew up in Denver, Colorado — got his MD at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and embarked on a sports medicine fellowship at Stanford University.
While in that position he worked with the San Francisco 49ers and the athletic teams at Stanford and Santa Clara University, per his website.

The source also noted that she is 'very attracted to him and that 'his is way more than a rebound.'
They had reportedly 'bonded on love lost and are just having a complete blast with each other.'
