“My marriage ended because my husband was younger, he wanted to have children and I didn’t want to be an old mother. I feel like it’s not fair to the baby. I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother,” Sofía Vergara told the outlet explaining the reason for the divorce.

The actress continued: “I’m almost in menopause, it’s the natural way of things. When my son becomes a father, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I will give him back and continue with my life, that’s what I have to do.” Sources close to Joe Manganiello stated that the actor always wanted to be a father and that little by little it became stronger.
After rumors that they were close to breaking up, in July last year, Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello published a statement reporting that they were separating. Close sources claim that the decision came from the actor as they had been distancing themselves for some time and soon after, the actor filed the request citing “irreconcilable differences”.
