Joe Manganiello is looking forward to embracing another role in the future.

The True Blood star, who recently opened up about whether having kids became a defining point in his breakup from ex Sofía Vergara, shared his stance on one day becoming a dad.

"It's something that's definitely on the docket,” Joe said during the July 24 episode of the Podcrushed podcast, “you know, at some point."

As Joe—who is currently dating Caitlin O'Connor—explained, the aspect of fatherhood “was never not on the table.”

“At every stage in life that was always something that was always talked about,” he added. “That was always on the forefront of any serious relationship that I got into."

In fact, Joe shared that he would bring up the topic early on since he's "always wanted to be a father," jokingly adding that he has "big dad energy."

"I think I have a lot to give,” he continued, “in that department.”

Joe’s latest comments on parenthood come shortly after he shared his perspective on the end of his seven-year marriage to Sofía.

Though the Modern Family star said the couple broke up because Joe wanted children and she did not, he shared the assertion was "simply not true."

"We did try to have a family for the first year and a half," he told Men's Journal in an interview published July 16. "And we had a huge conversation right out of the gate during the first month we dated. I said, 'If you're done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me, and I'll know what this is, and that's okay.'"

He added, "And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didn't work out. And I didn't."

According to the Magic Mike star, they ultimately split because "two people grew apart, and sometimes that happens."

Earlier this year, Sofía—who recently debuted her romance with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman—spoke out the former couple’s divorce, noting that kids became a dealbreaker.

"My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn't want to be an old mom," the 52-year-old told Spanish newspaper El País in January. "I feel it's not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that's not for me anymore."
