Joe Manganiello denies Sofia Vergara’s claim marriage ended because he wanted a baby: ‘Simply not true’
In January, the ‘America’s Got Talent’ host said her marriage to the ‘True Blood’ alum imploded because he was younger and wanted kids, and she didn’t want to be an ‘old mom’

Nearly a year after filing for divorce from Sofía Vergara, Joe Manganiello is denying her claim their relationship imploded because he wanted a baby.

“There’s been a lot said in the press about me wanting a family,” the “Deal or No Deal Island” host told Men’s Health in a piece published Tuesday. “That’s simply not true.”

In January, Vergara, 52, told El País her marriage “broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel it’s not fair to the baby.”.

Vergara has a 32-year-old son named Manolo from her first marriage.

Manganiello, 47, however, told Men’s Health the former couple did attempt to get pregnant in the beginning.

“We did try to have a family for the first year and a half,” he revealed. “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 OK.’ But that wasn’t the case with her. And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didn’t work out. And I didn’t.”
