Sofia Vergara's fiancee can't wait to have children

Actor Joe Manganiello can't wait "to start a family" with his fiancee and actress Sofia Vergara.

The 38-year-old, who got engaged to Vergana in December after six months of dating, thinks their relationship will last because he and the 42-year-old share the same "core values", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"On a personal level, I can't wait to get married and start a family. It's something that we talked about very early on. I think Sofia and I are similar in our beliefs and core values, which makes (our relationship) work," Manganiello told Haute Living magazine.

Manganiello proposed while he and Vergana were on holiday in Hawaii and he "looked at every ring in the world" beforehand.

"I had looked at every ring in the world, and this is the ring that I wanted. I had a whole speech prepared in Spanish. I proposed to her on one knee in Spanish with the sun going down. It was awesome," he said.
