Sofía Vergara has shed more light on the reason she and her ex-husband Joe Manganiello parted ways after seven years of marriage.
In an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Pais, the Modern Family star admitted it was because of their differing opinions on having children.
Vergara, who welcomed her son at age 19, said she wasn’t willing to have another child in her 50s, while she claimed Manganiello did want kids.

“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mum,” the Colombian-born actress revealed.
“I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore.”

Vergara, 51, said she was at the stage of life where she was ready to be a grandmother, not a mother again, as her son Manolo is now aged 32.
She explained her body also likely wasn’t biologically to have more kids, too. Manganiello, meanwhile, has no kids of his own.

“So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children,” Vergara continued.
“I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things. 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.”
Vergara and Manganiello, 47, announced their shock split in July 2023 after seven years of marriage.

They announced the news they were divorcing via a joint statement issued to 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 statement read.
Just two days later, Manganiello filed for divorce and cited “irreconcilable differences” for the reason behind their split.
The former couple married back in November 2015. The pair became engaged a year earlier after dating for just six months. They first met through Vergara’s Modern Family co-star, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who played Mitch.
