Sofia and Joe got engaged on Christmas Day after six months of dating

Wedding planning will come as a welcome distraction for Sofia, who has been embroiled in a battle with her ex Nick over embryos they created while they were still together.The actress recently broke her silence on Nick's fight to use the embryos and become a single parent, stating that his lawsuit "makes no sense".A child "needs a loving relationship of parents that get along, that don't hate each other," Sofia said during an interview with Howard Stern on Monday. "I don't hate him but obviously he has a problem. A kid needs parents. I wouldn't want to bring kids to the world where it's already set against them. It would be so selfish."
