The pretty star and her ex Loeb are locked in a legal dispute over frozen embryos they created together under a signed agreement stipulating that both parties must consent to any action taken utilizing them to produce children.
The embryos were created six months before they broke up - around this time last year - and Nick wants to the right to use them by himself.
Sofia had her chance to speak out about the situation on Good Morning America which aired on Thursday - moments after Nick gave his side of the story in a talk with the Today Show.
The banking heir insisted his intentions had nothing to do with the actress - and dismissed suggestions he was taking her to court because he could not get over her.
'It has nothing to do with a baby or her baby,' he said. 'Lives were created.'

And despite Sofia's suggestion on Howard Stern's Sirius XM program earlier this week that Nick hated her, the 39-year-old businessman said this was not the case.
'I don't hate her at all,' he said. 'I have tremendous respect for Sofia.'
Sofia and Nick split up a year ago after dating for approximately four years and engaged for two.
The actress hit back at her former flame's legal action and said on Good Morning America Thursday, in a pretaped interview: 'I've been working very hard for 20 years to get to this point where I am, enjoying my movie,' she said.

She also dismissed his likelihood of being able to take the female embryos, which he wants to take to full term by using a surrogate, and bring up the children.
'There's papers signed. There is a court date,' she said. 'He shouldn't be creating something so ugly out of nothing.'
The case will be in court on May 22.
He told the Today show that he has told Vergara that she can waive all financial responsibility and he will bring up the children alone.
'I can give these children a wonderful life,' he said. 'These girls will be raised knowing that they have a father who fought for them.'
But he also said that he would be happy for Vergara and her fiance Manganiello to take the embryos and bring them to full term, 'as long as I was involved in the process'.
And he dismissed her earlier claims that children need two parents.
20 million single parents in this world and... they're all working really hard to bring up children,' he said. 'I don't think there's anything with being wrong with being a single father or a single mother raising a child in America today.
They seem like besties: Bowen put her arm around the TV icon as she held onto her plaque
On April 29, Nick published a New York Times op-ed arguing that he should be able to use the embryos because he always dreamed of becoming a father - regardless of his relationship status with Sofia.
He told the paper that in 2013, the couple decided to try to use in vitro fertilization and a surrogate to have children when they were engaged.
Sofia's lawyer Fred Silberberg told People that she 'has never wanted to destroy her embryos.'
However, she's not planning on using them either, the attorney said in the statement, adding that Vergara 'is content to leave the embryos frozen indefinitely as she has no desire to have children with her ex.'

Also on Thursday Vergara's Summer issue of Cosmo For Latinas came out.

'When you're with somebody that hasn't had kids, and you want to start a relationship, of course there's always that question,' she said.
'And if it happens, it will be something that will make us very happy, but it's not a priority in our lives.'

Manolo is the actress' only child from her short marriage to her high school sweetheart Joe Gonzalez.
Sofia looked curvaceous as ever as the cover star of the glossy women's mag, wearing a figure hugging blue tank top and stylish snake-skin patterned skirt.
And while she my be hitting headlines for her dramatic personal life in recent weeks, the Modern Family star is grateful for her illustrious and long-lasting career.
She said: 'Sometimes you want fame to go away a little bit, because you want to do normal things. I think I'm old enough that I've already enjoyed all of it, so if it goes away, I think I'm still going to be OK.

She said: 'I had to invite like all my family, and Joe has a lot of friends. So it became bigger and bigger and bigger.'
