Last July, we were all shocked when Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello announced they are getting divorced. And we wondered what went wrong.
The actress opened up to El Pais and told them why they decided to end their marriage after eight years.
“I’m newly divorced from my second husband [actor Joe Manganiello], who I was with for 10 years,” the actress said. “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore. I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. 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.”
That was the long-suspected reason, and now we know it is true. Too bad it couldn’t work out for them.
