Sofia Vergara unveils real reason for refusing to have children with ex Joe Manganiello

Sofia Vergara has lifted the lid on the reasons she opted against having children even after this decision sparked her recent divorce.

The actress who split from Joe Manganiello in July 2023, believes it wouldn’t be “fair” to welcome another child into her life.

The Griselda star is already a mum to her son Manolo and admitted: “I think now that I'm older, it's great because you know exactly what you like.”

Although she had him at 19, Sofia appreciates their close bond: “It is great that I had him young, because now I’m going to be 52, and he’s 32.

“I wish I was older sometimes, because I would’ve been more mature, more prepared to be a mother, but that was what I got and what happened,” she added to People.”

The Modern Family star explained: “So I just kept going and try not to look back at it, because it is what it is. But it is fun because I kind of grew up together with my son.”

As for her decision against more kids, Sofia told the outlet: “There’s things in life that might sound like good ideas, but they’re not.

“I was a mother already. I know what it means to be a good mother or to try to be the best mother that you can, and that takes a lot of sacrifices, takes a lot of energy.”

Now, “thanks to science, women can actually have babies older,” she added.

Sofia continued: “Before, nature for some reason tells your body at 50 you are in menopause, it’s time for you to be done with that There is a reason why nature is doing that.

“But that’s for me, and I totally respect where anyone wants to be a mom after 50.

“I didn’t think because of my career, the way I live my life, the way my marriage was, that it was fair to bring a kid to this world, and I’m not going to be able to give 100 percent.”
