It centers around his desire to have a baby, and her belief that having a baby at the age she is now, 51, is not fair on the baby and their upbringing.
“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom,” the actress, 51, recently told El Pais.
“I feel it’s not fair to the baby.”
The “Modern Family” star made sure to note that although she “respect[s]” those who wish to welcome children later in life, the path is just “not for [her] anymore.”
“I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother,” she explained of Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, whom she shares with her first husband, Joe Gonzalez.
“I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things,” she said, adding, “When my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I’ll give it back to him and go on with my life; that’s what I have to do.”
Vergara’s new love
Manganiello is four years younger than Vergara and they had reached different stages in their lives at the wrong time.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives,” the former couple told Page Six in an exclusive statement at the time.
She is open to being in love again, though, and it is known that she is in a relationship with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. It is not clear whether he has already got children or not.
