Sofia reveals sad reason for divorce
Hutcherson lost out on ‘Home Alone’ role
SOFÍA Vergara is confirming that Joe Manganiello’s desire to have children led to their divorce.
“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mum,” the actress, 51, recently told
El País.
“I feel it’s not fair to the baby.”
The Modern Family star made sure to note that although she “respect[s]” those who wish to welcome children later in life, the path is just “not for [her] anymore.”
“I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother,” she explained of
JOSH Hutcherson lost out on a role in Home Alone. As a child actor, the Five Nights at Freddy’s actor auditioned for the film franchise but lost out to another kid, leaving him devastated.
He told Buzzfeed: “I was probably 11, I think, when I auditioned for it. It got down to me and the other guy. That was the first time that I tasted rejection, so that was really hard.”
Josh, 31, didn’t specify which movie in the franchise he auditioned for but it is likely to have been Home Alone 4 based on the timeline.
The first two movies in the series Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York starred Macaulay Culkin and were released in 1990 and 1992.
Hutcherson was born in 1992.
Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, whom she shares with her first husband, Joe Gonzalez, reports Page Six.
“I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things,” she said, adding, “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.”
But make no mistake; Sofía is open to love again
— as long as her next romantic partner has kids of his own.
The Emmy Award nominee debuted her relationship with an orthopaedic surgeon named Justin Saliman in October 2023. It’s unclear whether he has children.
Three months prior, Page Six revealed that Sofía and Manganiello, 47, were going their separate ways after seven years of marriage.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives,” the former couple told Page Six in an exclusive statement at the time.
