"Motherhood takes a lot of energy." Sofia Vergara explained why she didn't want to have children with ex-husband Joe Manganiello

Sofia Vergara, in an interview with People, explained why she did not want to have children with her ex-husband Joe Manganiello: according to rumors, this was the main reason for their divorce, in addition to her desire to concentrate on her career.

According to her, the idea of ​​having children in this marriage could not be called the right decision. "There are things in life that may seem like good ideas, but they aren't," the 51-year-old actress said.

"I've been a mother before. I know what it means to be a good mother or to try to be the best mother, to give everything you can, and that requires a lot of sacrifice, takes a lot of energy," she said.

At the same time, the actress said that she respects the desire of other women to have children after 50 years, but believes that this is not her path. “I completely respect the desire to become a mother after 50. But because of my career, my lifestyle and the way my marriage was, I didn’t think it would be fair to bring a child into this world because I wouldn’t be able to give 100 percent.” "Vergara explained.

Vergara has previously said she doesn't want to be an "old mom." "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. I'm almost menopausal, it's the natural course of things." At the same time, she is ready to communicate with children, provided that they are her grandchildren - the children of her son from her first marriage with Joe Gonzalez, 32-year-old Manolo.

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.
