I respect whoever does it, but that\u2019s not for me anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I\u2019m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I&#8217;m also in menopause &#8211; it&#8217;s the natural way of things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, Joe has insisted that was not the main reason for their split.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told Men&#8217;s Journal magazine: &#8220;That\u2019s simply not true. We did try to have a family for the first year and a half. And we had a huge conversation right out of the gate during the first month we dated. I said, \u2018If you&#8217;re done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me, and I&#8217;ll know what this is, and that&#8217;s okay.\u2019 But that wasn&#8217;t the case with her. And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didn&#8217;t work out. And I didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That wasn&#8217;t inevitably why everything ended. It&#8217;s because two people grew apart, and sometimes that happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJoe previously revealed he has made it clear with all his &#8220;serious&#8221; partners that he hopes to have a family of his own and he&#8217;s not given up on his dream of being a parent.<\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking on the &#8216;Podcrushed&#8217; podcast, he said: \u201cIt&#8217;s something that&#8217;s definitely on the docket.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThat was never not on the table. At every stage in life that was always something that was always talked about.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThat was always on the forefront of any serious relationship that I got into.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/joe-manganiello-caitlin-connor-engaged-1431582.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 October 2025 Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O\u2019Connor are engaged.
