According to Sofia Vergara, dating beyond fifty is “hard.” “I Don’t Care That Much”

After splitting from Joe Manganiello about a year ago, Sofia Vergara is talking candidly about dating after becoming single.

In a cover story that ran on Wednesday, May 1, Vergara, 51, said to People, “It’s already hard for a 50-something-year-old woman to find someone,” adding that she would think about dating an actor once more. “I won’t be particular, saying that he can only be a doctor. He must be an astronaut, I see. No, really, I’m not that particular.

After a seven-year marriage, Vergara and Manganiello, 47, announced their separation in July 2023. That same month, Manganiello formally filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of their split. February saw the finalization of their divorce.

The America’s Got Talent judge ignited a romantic relationship with Dr. Justin Saliman three months after they announced their separation. While out and about in Los Angeles in October 2023, they were first captured on camera together. Through an Instagram post last month, she publicly declared her “luv” for Saliman, 49, making their relationship official on social media.

Vergara told People that dating as a star is really difficult, on top of dating at her age.

Everything becomes incredibly inflated. Sometimes people read things incorrectly in every situation. Life is difficult enough already,” she said. “Relationships are difficult. Issues are challenging. You want to ask yourself, “What is going on?” when you watch it in action and realize how drastically it has changed. But eventually, you adjust to it. You can’t really complain about it too much because it comes with the fame.

Vergara also discussed what she thinks is essential for a successful partnership.

She advised, “You must always give the other person your best effort and be the best version of yourself.” “Be there for them in their hour of need, during their time of greatest need. I hope you will receive that back at some point.

Regarding the characteristics Vergara is seeking in a partner, she desires “Well-being. Cash. Enjoyable. with children. That is all. I only want that.

“No more kids,” she stated as her deal-breaker.

Vergara disclosed in January that this was the cause of her and Manganiello’s breakup.

She told the Spanish newspaper El País, “My marriage ended because my husband was younger; he wanted kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom.” “I think it’s unfair to the infant,” That’s no longer for me, but I appreciate those that do it.

“I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother,” she continued. “I had a son at 19, who is now 32.”

Vergara previously wed Joe Gonzalez, her high school lover, from 1990 to 1993. Manolo, 32, is their shared son.
