Sofia Vergara, 51, reveals why she did not have a child with ex Joe ... trends now
Sofia Vergara has shared why she decided to not have more children after welcoming her son Manolo 32 years ago.
The 51-year-old told the digital issue of People that it just was not the right time to have a baby with husband of seven years, Magic Mike star Joe Manganiello.
'There's things in life that might sound like good ideas, but they're not,' she explained to the site.
'I was a mother already,' she said. Vergara has son Manolo, 32, with her first husband, Joe Gonzalez.
'I know what it means to be a good mother or to try to be the best mother that you can, and that takes a lot of sacrifices, takes a lot of energy,' she shared.
And she described how she felt: 'I totally respect where anyone wants to be a mom after 50. I didn't think because of my career, the way I live my life, the way my marriage was, that it was fair to bring a kid to this world, and I'm not going to be able to give 100 percent.'
Vergara split from Joe last year and they finalized their divorce this year.

The siren did not touch on her lengthy legal battle with ex Nick Loeb who has threatened to use their frozen embryos which were created in 2013.
Sofia did talk about being very close to her son. 'It is great that I had him young, because now I'm going to be 52, and he's 32,' she said.
'I wish I was older sometimes, because I would've been more mature, more prepared to be a mother, but that was what I got and what happened,' she noted.
'So I just kept going and try not to look back at it, because it is what it is. But it is fun because I kind of grew up together with my son.'
She had her boy in her teens: 'It happened to me very, very young. I was not even 20 years old, so I don't even remember that much of my life without being a mother.'
Sofia also said that motherhood 'changes you, and it's very rewarding and gives you a lot of headaches too.'
But she is more than ready for grandkids.
'I already kind of like what he does with me. Manolo has a dog, and on the weekends he just drops the dog at my house. And I used to drop him at my mom's house during the weekend so that I could at least go out every once in a while.'
She also said she is doing fine after her divorce from Manganiello.
'Life has not always been easy . . . but I've never felt stronger,' she told the site.
