Sofa Vergara Reacts After Joe Manganiello Contradicts Her Version Of Why They Divorced

The "Griselda" star has said publicly that the "True Blood" actor's desire for children ultimately led to their split.

Sofa Vergara  is sharing her thoughts after her ex, fellow actor Joe Manganiello , publicly pushed back on her account of what led to their divorce. 

Manganiello declared in an interview last month that it was simply not true that his marriage to Vergara had ended because he wanted kids and she didnt even though thats what shed previously told Spanish newspaper El Pas

During an interview with Variety  posted on Wednesday, Vergara cast doubt on whether those were his actual words. At the end of the day, you never even know if thats what he said for real, she said. Ive read a lot of things that Ive said that Im like, Huh? What am I gonna do, call him? I dont know if he even said that.

Vergara and Manganiello wed in 2015 and announced their decision to divorce last year. She shared with El Pas in January that her marriage to Manganiello, 47, broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didnt want to be an old mom. 

The Griselda star, 52, already has a son, Manolo, 32. 

But Manganiello had a different view of their breakup. The True Blood star told Mens Journal in a profile published in July that Vergaras version of what led to their divorce is simply not true.

We did try to have a family for the first year and a half. And we had a huge conversation right out of the gate during the first month we dated. I said, If youre done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me, and Ill know what this is, and thats okay, he said. But that wasnt the case with her. And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didnt work out. And I didnt.

Manganiello later explained to Mens Journal that he was frustrated since he believed he was being portrayed in the media as having some sort of midlife crisis and that he gave his then-wife an ultimatum about having kids. 

Thats never who I was, he said. 

Following their split, Vergara and Manganiello have both been romantically linked to other people. 

Manganiello has been dating TV host Caitlin OConnor since last year and Vergara has been seeing Justin Saliman, an orthopedic surgeon. 

Vergara didnt divulge too much information about her new romance during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, but she said she was enjoying her time with Saliman and enjoying life.

Im so grateful to the people that are around me, she said.
