Hold up, did Sofía Vergara lie about what led to her divorce from Joe Manganiello? That’s what he’s now claiming!
When the news broke of their 7-year marriage coming to an end, one of the most widely reported reasons for the split? Joe wanted to have children while Sofía was a hard NO! She’d been there, done that, and didn’t want to do it again! Especially not at 52 years old!

The Modern Family alum eventually confirmed the reports herself! Multiple times! She told El País earlier this year she and the Magic Mike hunk broke up since they were never on the same page when it came to having children, saying:
“Well, I’m newly divorced from my second husband, who I was with for 10 years. My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore.”
It makes sense then why Joe was the one to file for divorce (and started dating a younger woman)… if that was the case! But according to Joe in a new interview with Men’s Journal, her claims to El País are “simply not true!” What?!
In fact, the True Blood alum says he and Sofía “did try to have a family for the first year and a half,” but it just didn’t happen for them:
“And we had a huge conversation right out of the gate during the first month we dated. I said, ‘If you’re done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me, and I’ll know what this is, and that’s okay.’ But that wasn’t the case with her. And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didn’t work out. And I didn’t.”
While Joe did want children, he insisted their differences over the matter “wasn’t inevitably why everything ended.” Instead, the Deal or No Deal Island host said what really happened was that “two people grew apart, and sometimes that happens.” And it hurt him that the accusations from Sofía impacted what people thought of his character now:
“To be painted as if I had some sort of midlife crisis, and after nine years, turned to somebody and gave them an ultimatum of, ‘Do this potentially unhealthy thing to your body, or else I’m gone’? That’s never who I was.”
Hmm. Well, Sofía seems to think otherwise!
We wonder what the America’s Got Talent judge has to say about her ex-husband basically calling her a liar! What are your reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.
