Vergara stated she didn’t have plans to have any longer kids whilst Manganiello, 47, sought after to enjoy parenthood. (The actress welcomed son Manolo in 1991 with then-husband Joe Gonzalez. The previous couple referred to as it quits two years later.)
“I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore,” she persevered. “I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother.”
Regardless of her 2nd marriage coming to an finish, Vergara stated she is constructive concerning the long run, including, “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. 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.”

You can’t hide those things.”
On the time, Vergara admitted she was once “surprised” via how the inside track was once coated, sharing, “It wasn’t bad. I think, you know, I have to say the press was very respectful and very nice. … They kind of just said what it was and, and that was it. And, you know, I’ve been moving on.”
