Sofia Vergara Reveals Differing Views on Parenthood Led to Divorce from Joe Manganiello

Vergara, ready to be a grandmother, not a mother, states future partner must come with his own children.

Sofia Vergara revealed in an interview with El País that the reason for her divorce from Joe Manganiello was due to their differing views on having children. Manganiello wanted to expand their family, but Vergara, already a mother to a 32-year-old son, did not want to have more children.
Vergara stated that she is ready to be a grandmother, not a mother, and that any future love interest would need to come with his own children.
Manganiello and Vergara announced their divorce in July 2023 after seven years of marriage. The divorce was filed citing 'irreconcilable differences'.
Since the divorce, both Vergara and Manganiello have moved on. Manganiello is currently dating actress Caitlin O'Connor, while Vergara has been seen on dates with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman.
Vergara expressed her surprise at the press' respectful and accurate coverage of her divorce, stating that the media did not invent more things and simply reported the facts.
