People journal obtained some excerpts from his new memoir, Bloodlines, and in them the True Blood werewolf reveals the depths of a seven-year sickness he began battling throughout his marriage to the Modern Family alum.

His signs, per People, began with “excruciating stomach ache” — and it acquired so dangerous he couldn’t even stroll with the ache. Fevers, rashes, rectal bleeding, and extra points quickly started.

His weakening well being wasn’t simply taking a toll on his physique. Sadly, he says it contributed to the downfall of his marriage to Sofia, writing their partnership had “grow to be devoid of any emotionality in any way.”
The e-book reportedly claims issues acquired so chilly of their relationship Sofia “refused” to hug him, per People, irrespective of how a lot he “begged” her for one. Now, clearly, if somebody doesn’t really feel like giving one other individual a hug they shouldn’t must, however he’s illustrating how strained issues had grow to be. “In illness and in well being” had clearly gone out the window!
Perhaps extra surprising, although, is the declare she “ridiculed” him for his chihuahua Bubbles, a small canine he adopted for consolation when he grew to become suicidal. He says his psychological well being had taken such a toll he needed to give away his gun as a result of he couldn’t cease the ideation. Bubbles saved him.
“I went from being the affected person to the caretaker.”
Eventually, Joe and Sofia determined to publicly announce their cut up in 2023. A yr later, a then 51-year-old Sofia gave El País her purpose for the divorce:
“Well, I’m newly divorced from my second husband, who I used to be with for 10 years. My marriage broke up as a result of my husband was youthful; he wished to have children and I didn’t wish to be an previous mother. I really feel it’s not honest to the newborn. I respect whoever does it, however that’s not for me anymore.”
His new e-book, nonetheless, contradicts that. Saying “there have been issues mentioned and printed about me that have been false,” Joe claims HE was the one who let go of getting youngsters throughout his sickness. They had tried rounds of IVF, hadn’t had any luck, so the following step could be getting an egg donor. But he says he thought of what would occur if he died, and he couldn’t bear the considered leaving Sofia with a child “who wasn’t biologically hers.”

This tracks with what he instructed Men’s Journal again in 2024. At the time he wasn’t prepared to enter element about his sickness, however he WAS able to deny her model of occasions. He instructed the magazine they “did attempt to have a household for the primary yr and a half,” however it simply didn’t occur for them:
“And we had an enormous dialog proper out of the gate throughout the first month we dated. I mentioned, ‘If you’re executed with children, then I perceive. Just inform me, and I’ll know what that is, and that’s okay.’ But that wasn’t the case together with her. And I swore to her that I might by no means go away if it didn’t work out. And I didn’t.”
So, no, youngsters “wasn’t inevitably why every little thing ended,” he says. Instead, per his account, what actually occurred was that “two folks grew aside, and typically that occurs.”
As for his sickness, to today docs nonetheless don’t have a analysis for it apart from it being some type of autoimmune illness. In his e-book Joe writes about seeing a shaman who instructed him it was linked to generational trauma (his ancestors misplaced household within the Armenian genocide). He’s since been in a position to efficiently reconnect his digestive observe and is now symptom free.
“Whatever chains there have been to the previous struggling of my ancestors, they have been utterly damaged. There’s not an oz. of worry in me about transferring ahead with my life.”
People consulted Dr. Dawn Beaulieu for her medical take. She hasn’t labored with Joe, however she does work in gastroenterology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She says “autoimmune ailments can go into remission,” and “from a medical standpoint, all we all know is that he’s higher.”
And thank goodness! What Joe went via — for years, thoughts you — seems like absolute hell. We’re so glad he’s nonetheless right here with us. And we all know his new fiancé, Caitlin O’Connor, is just too!
Wishing Joe, Caitlin, and Bubbles a life full of excellent well being!
