Joe Manganiello’s ex-wife Sofia Vergara revealed they split because he wanted kids whereas she didn’t
Joe Manganiello has waited long enough for fatherhood.
Per a new report, the 47-year-old actor is already picking out baby names with his girlfriend Caitlin O’Connor, 34, whom he began dating briefly after his divorce from Sofia Vergara last year.
Despite the short amount of time they’ve known each other, a source close to the couple told the National Enquirer via Radar Online that Manganiello is “head over heels in love” with O’Connor.
“Joe and Caitlin are already picking out baby names for their first child… and they want to have several!” the insider spilled, adding that “he wants to make her his bride” and “start a family.”
The lovebirds have been romantically linked since September, though the Magic Mike star only recently went Instagram official with his new flame.
Previously, he was married to the Modern Family alum, 51, for seven years. However, the couple split in July 2023.
Opening up about the reason behind their split, Vergara admitted it was because Manganiello wanted children whereas she didn’t.
“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger,” she told Spanish publication El País. “He wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom.”
Having already had a son when she was 19 years old, the Griselda star noted, “I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother.”
