Sofía Vergara Feels Empowered By Truth Behind Joe Manganiello Split

Sofía Vergara expressed how empowered she feels after sharing why her marriage to Joe Manganiello came to an end. The ‘Modern Family’ star’s marriage to Manganiello ultimately ended as he wanted to have a child together and she did not. Recently speaking with People, Vergara said, “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. Nowadays, thanks to science, women can actually have babies older. Before, nature for some reason tells your body at 50 you are in menopause,” Vergara told People. The actress has a 32-year-old son, Manolo, from a previous relationship and she welcomed him when she was 19. Vergara “totally” respects anyone who wants to become a mother after 50, but due to her career and how she lives, it wasn’t “fair” to have a baby. “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger. He wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom,” she told El País in January.
