Sofia Vergara’s Ex-Husband Joe Manganiello Breaks Silence on Their Divorce

Sofia Vergara’s ex-husband Joe Manganiello has denied claims they divorced after a disagreement over children.

The 47-year-old actor appeared in a recent interview with Men’s Journal and responded to Vergara’s claims regarding the dissolution of their marriage after seven years.

It is relevant to mention that during an interview with The country THE Modern family The star said Manganiello’s desire to expand his family was the reason for their shocking divorce.

She told the outlet at the time: “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have children and I didn’t want to be an old mum.”

However, in the latest report, the True Blood A former student said Vergara’s claims were “simply not true.”

“We were trying to start a family for the first year and a half. And we had a long conversation right from the beginning, within the first month of dating,” Manganiello told the outlet.

He added: “I said to her, ‘If you’re done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me and I’ll find out what it is, and it’ll be fine.’ But that wasn’t the case with her. And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didn’t work out. And I didn’t.”

He then explained, “It’s because two people have grown apart, and sometimes that happens,” adding how this false framing affected the perception of his character.

“To be portrayed as if I had some sort of midlife crisis and then nine years later I turned to someone and gave them an ultimatum like, ‘Do something potentially unhealthy for your body or I’m gone’? I’ve never been like that,” Manganiello added.

The couple’s divorce was confirmed by People magazine in July 2023.
