Joe Manganiello is sharing his side of the story when it comes to his divorce from Sofía Vergara.
While the Modern Family actress claimed the couple split in 2023 after seven years of marriage because Joe wanted children and she did not, the True Blood star said the narrative was “simply not true.”
“We did try to have a family for the first year and a half,” Joe explained to Men’s Journal in an interview published July 16. “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.'”
The 47-year-old added, “And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didn’t work out. And I didn’t.”
According to Joe—who recently debuted his romance with Caitlin O’Connor—the real reason the couple split actually boiled down to the fact that “two people grew apart, and sometimes that happens.”
