Joe Manganiello is setting the record straight on claims made by ex-wife Sofía Vergara regarding their divorce. While Vergara stated in a recent interview that Manganiello's desire for children played a role in their split, he denies that this was the primary reason. In a candid interview with Men’s Journal, Manganiello revealed that they did try to start a family initially, but ultimately two individuals grew apart. He emphasized that he never gave Vergara an ultimatum and that their separation was not due to a midlife crisis. The couple announced their divorce last July after seven years of marriage but continue to maintain mutual respect and privacy. Both Vergara and Manganiello have moved on to new relationships, with Vergara dating orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman and Manganiello seeing actress Caitlin O’Connor.
