Sofia Vergara has never been one to beat around the bush β so naturally, a few months after her divorce from Joe Manganiello was announced with a neutral joint statement last summer, she was candid in interviews about what she saw as the reason for their breakup. In a January interview with the Spanish-
language newspaper El PaΓs, she gave a simple, straightforward explanation, saying, βMy marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids, and I didnβt want to be an old mom.β Vergara is 52 and has a 32-year-old son, Manolo, from her first marriage, while Manganiello is 47 and has never had children.
However, it sounds as if Manganiello has a different version of events. βThereβs been a lot said in the press about me wanting a family,β he said in a Menβs Journal cover story, going on to confirm that he did, in fact, want to have kids. But, he said, he was βhurtβ by the way that fact was βdistorted.β To explain what really happened, he used a line most children of divorced parents may be familiar with. βItβs because two people grew apart, and sometimes that happens,β he said.
βWe did try to have a family for the first year and a half,β he told Menβs Journal. βAnd we had a huge conversation right out of the gate during the first month we dated. I said, βIf youβre done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me, and Iβll know what this is, and thatβs okay.β But that wasnβt the case with her. And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didnβt work out. And I didnβt.β
