Sofía Vergara revealed why she split from Joe Manganiello during an interview with Spanish newspaper El País earlier this month.
“Well, I’m newly divorced from my second husband, who I was with for ten years. My marriage broke up because my husband was younger,” she revealed. “He wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom.”
Vergara said she didn’t have plans to have any more children, while Manganiello, 47, wanted to experience parenthood. (The actress welcomed son Manolo in 1991 with then-husband Joe Gonzalez. The former couple called it quits two years later.

Despite her second marriage coming to an end, Vergara said she is optimistic about the future, adding, “So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. 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 previously tell about their split. Us Weekly confirmed in July 2023 that Manganiello filed to end their marriage.
As she promotes her new Netflix series Griselda, Vergara has been asked about her high-profile divorce, but she doesn’t seem to mind. “You’re out there and people know that’s part of being a celebrity,” Vergara said on the January 14 episode of CBS Sunday Morning. “I knew it was gonna happen. You can’t hide those things.”
