“Well, I’m newly divorced from my second husband, who I was with for 10 years. My marriage broke up because my husband was younger,” Sofia shared with Spanish newspaper El País. “He wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom.”

Sofia – who is already mom to 32-year-old son Manolo from a previous marriage – said that while she didn’t want any more children, Joe wanted to be a dad.

“I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore,” Sofia explained. “I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother.”

Sofia then went on to say that she’s optimistic about her future.

“So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I’m almost in menopause, it’s the natural way of things,” Sofia said. “When my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I’ll give it back to him and go on with my life. That’s what I have to do.”

In another recent interview, Sofia explained why she prefers to date in New York City over Los Angeles.
