"I didn't want to be an old mom." Sofia Vergara said she divorced Joe Manganiello because he wanted children and she didn't.

Sofia Vergara said in an interview with the Spanish publication El País that the reason for her divorce from her husband Joe Manganiello was her reluctance to become a mother after 50 years. But her 47-year-old ex-husband, who is four years younger than her, wanted to be a father.

"My marriage ended because my husband was younger than me, he wanted to have children, and I didn't want to be an old mother. I think it's unfair to the child. I respect those who do it, but it's not for me anymore." me,” she explained, “I’m almost menopausal, it’s the natural course of things.”

Vergara is ready to communicate with children, but only as a grandmother if her adult son Manolo has children. “I gave birth to my son at 19 years old, now he is 32, and I am ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if he finds love, he can come to me with his children. And then I will give them back to him and continue to live with your life."

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello announced their divorce after seven years of marriage last July. After this, the media began to discuss various reasons: among the assumptions was also that Sofia Vergara did not want to lead a quiet family life, but sought publicity and wanted to make a career.

Shortly after her split from Manganiello, she began dating a doctor named Justin Saliman, and Manganiello began dating actress Caitlin O'Connor.
