Joe Manganiello has finally broken his silence in a candid interview with Men’s Journal. The “True Blood” star set the record straight about his divorce from Sofía Vergara, denying her claim that their split was solely due to differing opinions on having children.
Despite confirming that they tried to conceive for about a year and a half, Manganiello revealed that their breakup was simply a result of growing apart, as happens with many couples. He emphasized that they both tried to start a family during the first year and a half of their marriage, and even had a deep conversation about children early on in their relationship.
Vergara previously stated in an interview with El País that the couple parted ways because Manganiello wanted children and she did not. However, Manganiello explained that he never gave her an ultimatum, as she implied, and expressed frustration at being painted in that light.
The former couple announced their divorce in July 2023 after seven years of marriage, citing a mutual decision to part ways. Sources close to them revealed that they had been growing apart for some time before their breakup.
While Vergara has chosen not to have more children due to her age and career, Manganiello has moved on with television reporter Caitlin O’Connor. Speculation about their engagement and starting a family has surfaced.
In the end, it seems the former couple is moving forward in their own separate ways, both with potential plans for the future. Stay tuned for more updates on this Hollywood saga.
