Sofía Vergara has confirmed that the divorce was caused by Joe Manganiello’s wish to start a family. “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom,” the actress, 51, recently told El País.
“I feel it’s not fair to the baby.” Although the “Modern Family” actress “respect[s]” those who choose to have children later in life, she has decided that this is “not for [her] anymore.”
She added that she is prepared to be a grandmother, not a mother, because she had a son named Manolo Gonzalez Vergara with her first husband, Joe, when she was 19 years old; Manolo is now 32 years old.
“I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things,” she said, adding, “When my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I’ll give it back to him and go on with my life; that’s what I have to do.”
Do not misunderstand; Sofía is receptive to love – provided her future lover has children of his own.
In October 2023, the relationship between the Emmy Award nominee and orthopaedic specialist Justin Saliman was revealed. Whether he has a family is unknown.
After seven years of marriage, Sofía and Manganiello, who is 47 years old, announced their separation last July on Page Six.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives,” the ex-couple told Page Six in an exclusive statement at the time.
The desire to become a father had always been there for the “True Blood” actor, according to a person close to him, but it had grown stronger over the years.
The media’s accurate portrayal of the couple’s breakup helped Sofía “overcome” her sadness, she confessed earlier this month on “CBS Sunday Morning.”
“It wasn’t terrible,” the stunning Colombian woman admitted.
“I have to say the press was very respectful and very nice. And I thought that they were gonna invent more things, and you know how it usually is.”
As for Manganiello, he has also progressed. In December 2023, the actor and his girlfriend, Caitlin O’Connor, an actress aged 33, made their red carpet debut.
