LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sofia Vergara has made some plans for 2025, after ending her marriage with Joe Manganiello in 2024 and dating Justin Saliman for a few months.

Sofia Vergara divorced Joe Manganiello as she didn't want to be an 'old mom'

“As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives,” they added.

Also, during a January 2024 interview with Spanish newspaper El País, Vergara shared, “I’m newly divorced from my second husband [actor Joe Manganiello], 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.”

The ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge frankly asserted at the time that she was now ready to become a grandmother and not a mother.

“I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things,” Vergara explained.

She even added, “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.”
