‘HE WANTED TO HAVE KIDS’

In an interview with El País, Sofia candidly opened up about how her marriage ended because she did not want to be an “old mom”.

“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom”, Vergara shared.

The actress continued by noting how having kids at her age would have been extremely unfair towards the baby.

Sofia Vergara continued: “I feel it’s not fair to the baby”.

The actress further shared that she respects people who wish to have children later in life, however that was not an option for her anymore.

“I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother”, the actress explains.

Sofia Vergara also shared that although she might not have children, she has her 32-year-old son who might make her a grandmother. She also notes that she’s more than willing and comfortable with looking after her grandchildren, and living life.

“I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things,” she added.

Sofia notes: “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”.

 In July last year Sofia and Joe announced that they were divorcing after seven years of marriage.

“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.
