Okay, fam, things just got real in the Joe Manganiello Sofía Vergara divorce saga. Joe is speaking out, and he’s not holding back, addressing Sofia’s claims about why their marriage ended.
In a recent interview with Men’s Journal, Joe addressed Sofía’s claims about their split, specifically her statement to El País in January where she attributed their divorce to his desire to have children. Sofía stated, “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger. He wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom… So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children.”
Joe directly refuted Sofía’s claims, stating, “There’s been a lot said in the press about me wanting a family,” and continued, “That’s simply not true.” He revealed, “We did try to have a family for the first year and a half. And we had a huge conversation right out of the gate during the first month we dated. I said, ‘If you’re done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me, and I’ll know what this is, and that’s okay.’ 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.”
Joe Manganiello Denies Sofía Vergara Ultimatum
Joe firmly denied giving Sofía an ultimatum about having children, expressing frustration at how he’s been portrayed in the media regarding the Joe Manganiello Sofía Vergara split. “To be painted as if I had some sort of midlife crisis, and after nine years, turned to somebody and gave them an ultimatum of, ‘Do this potentially unhealthy thing to your body, or else I’m gone’? That’s never who I was.”
