Sofia Vergara is not a fan of wasted space.
During an appearance on Friday’s episode of “The Talk,” the “Modern Family” alum explained why she decided to “recycle” her tattoo originally dedicated to ex-husband Joe Manganiello, and her reasoning had the audience chuckling.
Vergara first displayed a tattoo on her left wrist with the initial “R” in honor of her late brother, Rafael. Then, she showed the camera her right wrist, which showed the letter “J.”
“This was Joe Manganiello’s initial, but now he’s gone,” she said as the audience laughed. “So, now my new … how lucky can I be that the guy I’m going out [with] has the same initial,” she said, referencing her new love interest, Dr. Justin Saliman. “The new guy. So I’m like, ‘Recycle. Recycle!’”

“Everything [is challenging],” the 51-year-old said when it comes to dating in Hollywood. “Because everything gets so exaggerated. Everything sometimes gets not interpreted the right way. So life is already hard. Having relationships is hard. Problems are hard. And then to see it out there and be completely changed, you want to be like, ‘What is going on?’ But you just get used to it. It comes with being famous, so you can’t complain that much.”

As for what she wants in a relationship, Vergara says she’s not asking for much.
“Health. Money. Fun. With kids. That’s it. That’s all I want,” she said.
But the one deal-breaker? “No more kids,” she said.
