Sofia Vergara said that when she revealed the reason for her divorce, she felt empowered. The Modern Family star is also considering whether she felt empowered when their marriage ended because he wanted a child and she did not, as she embarks on a new journey after divorcing Joe Manganiello.
Actress Sofía, who welcomed her son Manolo at 19, has admitted that being a mother is not always easy. She explains that being a good mother requires sacrifice and energy. Sofía, who is now 51, knew she didn't want to start her motherhood journey all over again. She is the mother of 32-year-old Manolo, from a previous relationship.
"Nowadays, thanks to science, women can actually have babies older," she added. "It's time to let go of the menopause; nature tells your body, for some reason, that you are in it at 50. Nature is acting in that way for a purpose."
"But that's for me, and I totally respect where anyone wants to be a mom after 50," she said. "I didn't think because of my career, the way I live my life, and the way my marriage was, that it was fair to bring a kid into this world, and I'm not going to be able to give 100 percent."
Sofía's comments come less than four months after she first detailed the reason for her split from Joe.
Magic Mike actor and Griselda star Sofía Sofía announced their breakup last summer after nearly eight years of marriage. Sofía is playing coy about her relationship status, despite appearing to go Instagram official with Justin Saliman. She knows how difficult having a relationship in the public eye can be, as everything gets exaggerated and sometimes misinterpreted. She added that life is already hard, having relationships is hard, and problems are hard. When she sees her relationship change in the public eye, she wants to be like, "What is going on?' But you just get used to it. It's what it is. It comes with being famous, so you can't complain that much."
She has, however, stated clearly what she is seeking in a partner, telling the source that she is in her late 40s to early 50s, has their own children, and has "health, money, and fun." And over the years, Sofía has gained a lot of knowledge about love.
It's difficult, she said. "You can never predict what the future holds. Always try your hardest and be the greatest person you can be for the other person. When they most need you, during their darkest moments, be there for them. I hope you will receive that back at some point."
