(NEW YORK) — Sofia Vergara and her fiancé, Joe Mangianello, are set to walk down the aisle any minute now. And although the Modern Family actress previously shared much about their courtship, now she’s revealing exactly how she knew the Magic Mike XXL star was “the one.”
“I finally realized that relationships don’t need to be so much work,” she explains in the June issue of Redbook. “Ever since we met, it’s been so easy. I’m very suspicious. I’m like, ‘It’s not normal that we’ve been together for nine months and we haven’t had a big fight or anything.'”
Vergara, who has a 22-year-old son from a previous marriage, adds that the couple is thinking about expanding their family immediately.
“Joe is younger than me. He’s 38. He’s never had kids. How am I going to say no? I tell him if we’re going to do this, we have to do it, like, now, because I don’t want to be 50 with a baby,” she explains.
Vergara also tells the magazine the biggest lesson she’s learned about men.
“I have learned that I have to let them be men. I think it’s very important not to try to take over on everything — even if you think you can do it easier or better,” she says. “If you don’t let them do things, you create a cycle and then you complain that they never do anything.”
Vergara and Manganiello, who got engaged last December, celebrated their engagement earlier this month with a party in Hollywood — a telltale sign of an impending wedding. Still, they have not publicly announced a wedding date.
