Sofa Vergara knows what she wants and that a baby with Joe Manganiello isnt it.

The Griselda star announced their difficult decision to divorce last year and explained in a candid new interview Wednesday that it was the fair thing to do. Vergara, who married Manganiello in 2015 , said she simply wasnt eager to become a mom all over again.

Theres things in life that might sound like good ideas, but theyre not, she told People . I was a mother already. 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.

Nowadays, thanks to science, women can actually have babies older, Vergara continued. Before, nature for some reason tells your body at 50 you are in menopause , its time for you to be done with that. There is a reason why nature is doing that.

Vergara was barely an adult when she and her high school sweetheart welcomed a son in 1991. The 51-year-old told Spanish newspaper El Pas last year that Manganiello filed for divorce because he wanted to have kids and I didnt want to be an old mom.

But thats for me, and I totally respect where anyone wants to be a mom after 50, she told People. I didnt 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 Im not going to be able to give 100%.

Vergara first met the Magic Mike star at the White House Correspondents Dinner in May 2014 and called off her engagement to actor Nick Loeb within weeks. Manganiello proposed to her in December of that year, and they tied the knot in 2015.
