Earlier last month, during the promotional rounds of her latest Netflix show Griselda, Sofia opened up about the reason behind their separation. She told Spanish newspaper El Pais that she did not want to become an old mother. “My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn't want to be an old mom. I feel it's not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that's not for me anymore,” she said.

Sofia has a son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, with her first husband, Joe Gonzalez. She is reportedly dating orthopaedic surgeon Justin Saliman, with whom she was spotted in October last year.

Meanwhile, Joe made his new romance with actor Caitlin O’Connor official in December last year. The duo attended the Children of Armenia Fund Gala at Cipriani in New York City, where they posed on the red carpet together.
