Joe Manganiello shows off GIGANTIC new dragon tattoo on his shoulder… after ex Sofia Vergara claimed they split because he wanted kids

Joe Manganiello proudly showed off his new body art in a video shared to social media on Wednesday.

The 47-year-old hunky actor – who recently hit the gym with his girlfriend Caitlin O’Connor, 33 – showed off his giant shoulder tattoo in an Instagram story shared by tattoo artist Little Paul.

In the clip, the Magic Mike alum wore a tank top, which gave a full view of the intricate Japanese dragon design.

Joe confidently rocked his new, youthful hairstyle and flexed his muscles in the photo as he stared directly into the camera.

The sizzling snap comes after his ex Sofia Vergara opened up about why their seven-year marriage ended.

In conversation with the Spanish publication El Paisthe 51-year-old star revealed that her ex-husband wanted children and she didn’t.

The Colombian-born beauty said: ‘My marriage failed because my husband was younger; he wanted to have children and I didn’t want to be an old mother.’

She explained to the outlet, β€œI don’t think it’s fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore.’

She named her son Manolo from her first marriage to high school sweetheart Joe Gonzalez, noting, “I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother.” So when love comes, he must come with (his own) children.”

‘I’m almost in menopause; it is the natural order of things,” she added.

β€œWhen my son becomes a father, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I will give him back and go on with my life; that’s what I have to do,” Vergara emphasized.

She and Joe announced their separation in a joint statement they shared last July.

They said: ‘We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people who love and care for each other deeply, we politely ask that our privacy be respected at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

Just two days after announcing their split, the True Blood actor filed for divorce, listing the date of separation as July 2.

‘irreconcilable differences’ were cited as the reason for the end of their marriage.

After their divorce, Sofia has been involved with new love interest Justin Saliman, an orthopedic surgeon.

For his part, Joe has moved on with 34-year-old Winning Time actress Caitlin O’Connor.

Joe and Caitlin first hooked up in September, just two months after it emerged that Joe and Sofia had split.
