Sofia Vergara has continued to open up what brought her marriage with Joe Manganiello to an end listening to her excuses

Sofia Vergara has continued to open up what brought her marriage with Joe Manganiello to an end.The 51-year-old actor spoke candidly about breaking up with her husband of seven years during a recent interview withPeople, as she was featured on the cover of the magazine’s “Beautiful Issue.”

Her comments came months after she revealed her relationship ended because Manganiello wanted to have children and she didn’t, noting that she didn’t want to “be an older mom”.

Speaking to People, the Modern Family star acknowledged that when she publicly discussed what caused her split, it felt “empowering”. She also further explained why she doesn’t want to be a parent again. She shares a 32-year-old son, Manolo Gonzalez, with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez.

“There’s things in life that might sound like good ideas, but they’re not. I was a mother already,” she said. “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.”

She still went on to applaud how there are now opportunities for women to have children later in life if they want. “Nowadays, thanks to science, women can actually have babies older. 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,” she said.
