Sofía Vergara Opens Up About Motherhood, Divorce, and Dating in Candid Interview

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, actress Sofía Vergara got real about the challenges of motherhood, divorce, and dating in the public eye. The 51-year-old star reflected on her past marriage to Joe Manganiello, explaining that “relationships are hard” for her, especially when everything gets “exaggerated” and misinterpreted in the media.

Vergara’s marriage to Manganiello ended because he wanted children, but she didn’t want more. The Modern Family alum shares a son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, with her ex-husband Joe Gonzalez. When asked about her decision not to have more children, Vergara emphasized that some ideas may sound good but are not always practical.

The actress also discussed the sacrifices and energy required to be a good mother, noting that she didn’t feel it was fair to bring a child into the world given her career and lifestyle at the time. Vergara and Manganiello finalized their divorce last year, with Manganiello moving on to a new relationship while Vergara has been dating Justin Saliman since the end of 2023.

When it comes to what she looks for in a relationship, Vergara prioritizes qualities like health, financial stability, and fun, but she is firm on not wanting more children. Despite the challenges she has faced, Vergara remains candid and open about her experiences, offering a glimpse into the complexities of navigating relationships in the spotlight.
