text: Sofia Vergara's ex-fiancé has hit out at the Modern Family star, claiming that she wants to destroy two fertilized embryos that the couple created together. 'I have always strongly believed that life begins at conception and that every embryo is life on the journey towards birth,' businessman Nick Loeb, said in a statement. 'I created these two female embryos with the purpose of taking them to term and not destruction, because I have always dreamed of being a father.' Scroll down for video... Drama: Sofia Vergara's ex Nick Loeb (pictured here together in May last year) says he's always 'dreamed' of being a father ...as he defends lawsuit to keep frozen embryos . The 39-year-old filed a lawsuit last August over the two embryos. On Monday he implied that he wants to use them to have children of his own - either with the involvement of his 42-year-old ex or without her. 'I have previously offered to waive any parental or financial responsibilities or obligations on the part of my ex, and to even give her the opportunity to be involved with the child in the future, should she change her mind,' his statement, released through his lawyer Mark J. Heller, said. 'I take the responsibility and obligation of being a parent very seriously.' In a full statement to UsWeekly Loeb added: 'Where a man does want to become a father, and wants to impose no obligations on the other party, he should have that corresponding right.' Loeb is a a scion of the Loeb and Lehman families and his father ran the prestigious Wall Street investment firm Loeb, Rhoades & Co. before becoming US Ambassador to Denmark and a delegate to the United Nations. Loeb and Vergara created the embryos through in vitro fertilization in November 2013 and they remain frozen at a Beverly Hills clinic. In a full statement released to UsWeekly Nick said: 'I have always strongly believed that life begins at fertilization and that every embryo is a life on the journey towards birth. I created these two female embryos with the purpose of taking them to term and not destruction, because I have always dreamed of being a father. I have previously offered to waive any parental or financial responsibilities or obligations on the part of my ex, and to even give her the opportunity to be involved with the child in the future, should she change her mind. I take the responsibility and obligation of being a parent very seriously. Creating an embryo in the natural way can lead to parenthood obligations, even where a man doesn’t want to become a father. Where a man does want to become a father, and wants to impose no obligations on the other party, he should have that corresponding right. However life comes to be created, it should have no determination on either the rights of wanting to be or the requirements of having to be a parent.' Vergara, TV's highest paid actress and one of Hollywood's hottest stars, denies that she wants to destroy the embryos - but says she has no desire to have children with her ex-fiancé, either. Last week, the Colombian beauty said through her attorney that her plan is to keep the embryos frozen indefinitely. She has a 22-year-old son Manolo with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez. Vergara broke up with Loeb last May after nearly two years of engagement. Last Christmas, she became engaged to True Blood star Joe Manganiello.
