David Schwimmer’s ex-wife Zoe Buckman finds love again eight years after their split as she unveils romance with Sofia Vergara’s former flame

David Schwimmer’s British ex-wife Zoe Buckman has found love again eight years after their split – and her new beau also has a famous dating roster. 

Artist Zoe, 39, took to Instagram on Wednesday to make her new relationship public with a slew of loved-up snaps. 

Zoe split from Friends star David in 2017 and her new partner, orthopaedic surgeon Justin Saliman, has also dated in celebrity circles – after being linked to Sofia Vergara just last year. 

She made their relationship Instagram official as she shared an intimate photo of herself being held by a shirtless, smiling Justin. She captioned it coyly: ‘It’s spring.’

Zoe and David, 58, began dating in 2007 after meeting in London while he was directing the Simon Pegg film Run, Fat Boy, Run and she was working at the Cuckoo Club as a waitress.

The pair married in 2010 and later welcomed their daughter, Cleo, in 2011 before announcing their separation in 2017. The pair have maintained a very close co-parenting relationship.

The former couple shared a joint statement announcing their split at the time, which read: ‘It is with great love, respect and friendship that we have decided to take some time apart while we determine the future of our relationship.

‘Our priority is, of course, our daughter’s happiness and well being during this challenging time, and so we ask for your support and respect our privacy as we continue to raise her together and navigate this new chapter for our family.’

In 2020, David and Zoe put on a united front as they marched together at a Black Lives Matter protest in New York.

The former couple each held flowers in their hand as Zoe placed her arm on David’s shoulders while walking among the crowd of thousands.

The Friends star posted the powerful image with a lengthy message explaining that they had come together for social justice, reform, black lives lost due to racial violence, and for the sake of their daughter. 

Meanwhile Justin was previously married to American film star Bree Turner – with whom he has two children – and dated Modern Family star Sofia for a year before splitting in 2024.

Justin was married to Bree – who starred in Just My Luck with Lindsay Lohan and The Ugly Truth alongside Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler – for ten years until 2018.

He began dating Sofia in late 2023 following her divorce from Joe Manganiello.

Meanwhile Justin dated Modern Family star Sofia for a year before splitting in 2024 and the pair are seen at the actress’s 52nd birthday 

Sofia and Justin were first linked back in October of that year when set up on a blind date by mutual friends. 

At the time, an insider told Life & Style that Justin impressed Sofia by showing up to their first date with flowers and her favourite champagne.

Their relationship became public in April 2024 when she posted a photo of him assisting her during knee surgery recovery. 

However, by January 2025, Sofia confirmed their split during the Golden Globes, expressing her desire for ‘health, money, a boyfriend – or a lover’ in the new year.

An acclaimed artist, Zoe is renowned for her politically charged sculptures and installations that explore themes of feminism, identity, and mortality. 

Her notable works include Every Curve, which juxtaposes rap lyrics with vintage lingerie, and Present Life, featuring a preserved placenta encased in marble.

Zoe’s work is currently being shown at the National Portrait Gallery in London and has been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Norton Museum of Art.

Justin, who is from Denver, Colorado, is a prominent orthopaedic surgeon based in Beverly Hills. 

He earned his medical degree from the University of Colorado, completed his residency at Mount Sinai in New York City, and pursued a fellowship at Stanford University.

He is the founder of Ceterix Orthopaedics and the inventor of the NovoStitch Pro Meniscal Repair System.
