LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During a tease for an episode of 'The Talk' featured on TikTok, Sofia Vergara joked about the idea of recycling her 'J' letter tattoo, which originally symbolized her ex-husband Joe Manganiello's initial. 

It seems Vergara is moving on after her split from Manganiello last summer following a seven-year marriage. The 'Modern Family,' alum made headlines after the tattoo on her wrist came under public scrutiny. Vergara, 51, recently made waves by discussing her views on cosmetic enhancements and aging.

In 'The Talk' teaser Vergara joked that she could simply “recycle” the tattoo. She was joined by her 32-year-old son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, her co-star on 'Celebrity Family Food Battle.' Vergara showed off her two tiny wrist tattoos in the TikTok teaser.

After Manolo mentioned he had “like 34” tattoos, he pointed out that his famous mom had two of her own. “This is … look how little,” the 'America’s Got Talent' judge said, displaying an “R” for her late brother, Rafael, on one wrist and a “J” on the other. 

She joked, “This was Joe Manganiello’s initial, but now he’s gone,” making the audience and 'The Talk' co-hosts laugh. The 'Griselda' star added while her son covered his face with his hands, “How lucky can I be that the guy I’m going out [with] has the same initial, the new guy!" 

Co-host Akbar Gbajabiamila joked that her boyfriends “have to start with a J,” prompting Vergara to make a clever remark, “recycle!” If things work out with her new beau, Dr Justin Saliman, Vergara might not even need to remove her tattoo tribute to ex Joe Manganiello
