Featuring the blended Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker family, the comedy premiered on Sept. 23, 2009, and continued for 11 seasons

Modern Family remains an iconic sitcom to this day.

The ABC series, which premiered on Sept. 23, 2009, ran for 11 seasons through 2020 and cemented itself as an enduring TV sensation. As the series followed the Dunphy-Pritchett-Tucker crew who experienced the ups and downs of family life, the sitcom amassed several awards, including 22 Emmy Awards and one Golden Globe.

Modern Family’s long-lasting appeal stems largely from its brilliant ensemble cast, with stars like Ed O’Neill, Sofía Vergara, Julie Bowen and more generating on-screen chemistry so real that it naturally extended into their off-screen friendships over the years.

Though fans were sad to say goodbye, many former cast members — who’ve reunited for commercials, award shows and get-togethers ever since — have discussed whether they’d reprise their roles for a potential spinoff. Even if a reboot never happens, co-creator Christopher Lloyd believes the show’s 250 episodes are more than enough.

“The hope is that people remember [Modern Family] as a fuller experience than you sometimes get with a comedy and come back to it for the nourishment that comes from that,” Lloyd told Entertainment Weekly in April 2020.

Here’s everything to know about where the Modern Family cast is today.

Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy

Ty Burrell’s “cool dad” character Phil cracked us up for a decade with his dad jokes, pipe dreams and “Phil’s-osophies” — earning the actor two Emmys for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

In addition to film credits (including 2014’s Muppets Most Wanted and 2017’s Rough Night) and a variety of voice work (he voiced himself on Family Guy and a character in Finding Dory), Burrell lent his voice to the animated sitcom Duncanville, which aired from 2020 to 2022.

The actor and his castmates share a deep bond off-screen. However, Burrell hasn’t been able to attend every reunion, as he lives in Utah with his wife, Holly Burrell, and their two daughters, Frances and Greta.

“We’ve had a couple of gatherings, but I wasn’t able to make it to a couple of them,” he told PEOPLE in March 2025. “But everybody has stayed in touch, and I’m incredibly grateful to know all those people.”

In May, Burrell reunited with Modern Family costars Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson backstage at the latter’s off-Broadway show, Tru.

Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy

Bowen earned two Emmys for her role as micro-managing mom Claire, who was as competitive as she was compassionate regarding her loved ones.

Since playing Claire, Bowen appeared in The Fallout (2021) and Totally Killer (2023), in addition to reprising her role as Virginia in Happy Gilmore 2 (2025). In TV, she starred in Peacock’s Hysteria! (2024) and has done voice acting work for the Hailey’s on It! series.

Off-screen, Bowen is a mom of three sons, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Scott Phillips.

While her on-screen family is “fake,” their bonds are very real, with her former costars supporting and sending her birthday wishes over the years. In August, Bowen, Vergara and Ferguson had a Modern Family reunion with O’Neill, during which the four former castmates were all smiles.

Sarah Hyland as Haley Dunphy

Sarah Hyland had a handful of TV roles and small film appearances before finding her home on Modern Family at age 18, but the actress is now best known for her portrayal of the oldest Dunphy child, Haley, a rebellious social butterfly who preferred boys to books and had a penchant for screwing up.

During the show’s run, the actress revealed she underwent a kidney transplant in 2012 and another in 2017, after the first went into failure.

After her run on Modern Family, Hyland joined the Pitch Perfect franchise for the Peacock spinoff series Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin and began her two-season hosting stint on the dating reality competition series Love Island USA for seasons 4 and 5. Hyland later joined the cast of the Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors in 2024. She also starred in Broadway’s Just in Time and reunited with Ferguson backstage after a performance in November 2025. She is currently making her West End debut as Sally Bowles in Cabaret.

After postponing their wedding multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hyland and The Bachelorette alum Wells Adams tied the knot on Aug. 20, 2022. Her Modern Family costars were there to celebrate the big day in Santa Barbara, Calif., which was officiated by Ferguson.

Ariel Winter as Alex Dunphy

Ariel Winter took on the role of know-it-all middle child Alex at age 11, but she’d been in the industry since her mom signed her up for commercials at age 4. While Claire’s Type A mini-me daughter was growing up in front of audiences, Winter was also voicing characters on TV series, including Phineas and Ferb.

“I love what I do, but I don’t know if it’s a choice I would have made on my own,” she told PEOPLE in 2016, a year after she became an emancipated minor.

The actress enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2017 before taking a break from her studies six months later to “continue to pursue my career and also try to have a little bit more of a life because I’ve been so busy,” she told Entertainment Tonight in March 2018.

She added, “But I think education’s really important. I love being there. I love learning. I will continue to keep learning.”

In 2022, Winter said she was moving away from Los Angeles to pursue a quieter life away from the paparazzi. In May, PEOPLE confirmed Winter and her longtime boyfriend Luke Benward called it quits, and she’s now roommates with her on-screen brother, Nolan Gould.

Winter continues to voice act, including as the titular character for the Sophia the First franchise. She also appeared in the 2026 superhero film Clash of the Thundermans.

She also remains close with her Modern Family family. In September, she shared photos of a hangout with Gould, Ferguson and Modern Family casting director Jeff Greenberg. She captioned the Instagram post, “very modern weekend, actually.”

Nolan Gould as Luke Dunphy

When the family comedy premiered in 2009, Gould was 10 years old. While his character, Luke, was defined by his high energy level, non-existent filter and low IQ, Gould is actually a member of the high IQ society Mensa International and graduated high school with a GED at age 13, which he revealed during a 2012 interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (via E! News).

Following Modern Family‘s 11-season run, Gould appeared on The Celebrity Dating Game in 2021 and an episode of Grey’s Anatomy in 2022. He’s also starred in several films that were released in 2023, including Miranda’s Victim, The Nana Project and Camp.

Gould has reunited with the Modern Family cast several times, from reuniting with Ferguson to celebrate the 2026 New Year to actually living with Winter now as roommates.

Gould rents a house in Los Angeles with Winter, who spoke with PEOPLE in May about their living situation. “People ask me about a Modern Family reboot, but Nolan and I are real roommates now,” she said. “So it’s like we’re having our own little Modern Family reboot, but it’s just the two of us living together. So I see him every day.”

Ed O’Neill as Jay Pritchett

O’Neill was already well-known on the small screen for portraying Al Bundy on Married… with Children before he took up the role of Jay.

As the often ignorant but well-meaning patriarch of the Pritchett-Dunphys, O’Neill’s character was an old-fashioned man’s-man who struggled to accept his son Mitchell being gay and his son-in-law Phil being, well, Phil.

The ABC sitcom’s many seasons were benchmarked by Jay’s increasing tolerance and understanding toward his family, who all strived to impress him (except his second wife, Gloria — she set him straight every time).

On the big screen, O’Neill has also voiced several characters in films such as Wreck-It Ralph (2012), Finding Dory (2016) and Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018). In 2024, the actor had his first post-Modern Family TV role in the FX miniseries Clipped. He also appeared in Hulu’s All’s Fair (2025).

O’Neill has two daughters with his wife, actress Catherine Rusoff. The couple has been married since 1986.

Sofía Vergara as Gloria Delgado

Vergara had a handful of TV roles before taking the small screen by storm as the fierce Gloria. Her role as the family-oriented, outspoken and sexy second wife of Jay (and mother of Manny) provided many of the show’s most hilarious moments and earned the Colombian American actress the title of the highest-paid TV actress in 2017. She also received four Golden Globe nominations and four Emmy nominations for her portrayal of Gloria.

The actress remains close with her former Modern Family costars, and in 2023, she got the gang back together for the first time since they wrapped the show.

“It’s amazing because we’re always connected,” Vergara told PEOPLE. “Even though we haven’t seen each other in so long, it felt like we just left the set in 2020.”

Since the year Modern Family ended, Vergara has become a judge on America’s Got Talent and lent her voice in Koati (2021), Strays (2023) and Despicable Me 4 (2024). She later earned her fifth Emmy nomination for her portrayal of the notorious Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco in the 2024 Netflix miniseries Griselda.

The actress shares a son, Manolo — whose “old soul” inspired Manny’s character — with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez. She ended her seven-year marriage to Joe Manganiello in 2023.

Rico Rodriguez as Manny Delgado

Rico Rodriguez has grown up quite a bit since taking on the role of the precocious Manny, whose intelligence and sophisticated adult sensibilities were constantly tested by his nephew and unintentional partner-in-crime, Luke.

Rodriguez also starred in the 2015 chess film Endgame and has appeared as himself on TV shows, including Nickelodeon’s The Substitute and Unfiltered.

In June 2025, he appeared on the Dinner’s On Me podcast hosted by Ferguson, where he recalled playing such a mature character.

“It is interesting because in some episodes, Manny would pop in and then say a funny quip and then he would, you know, walk out and then come back later,” he said. “But then sometimes, since he was such an old soul, he would have these big paragraphs and words that I had no idea what I was saying.”

Eric Stonestreet as Cameron Tucker

Eric Stonestreet was best known as Ronnie Litre on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation before warming our hearts as flamboyant farm boy Cam, whose enthusiasm and musical passion knew no bounds. Stonestreet’s performance earned him two Emmys for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

The actor took up a handful of other roles throughout the seasons, appearing in 2011’s Bad Teacher and 2013’s Identity Thief. He also joined costar Winter in doing voice work on the TV series Sophia the First and voices the character Duke in the Secret Life of Pets franchise. In 2025, he also appeared in a few episodes of Dexter: Ressurection.

Since Modern Family, Stonestreet began hosting the Fox competition series Domino Masters and playing Magnus Antas on Disney+’s The Santa Clauses.

In 2021, Stonestreet got engaged to pediatric nurse Lindsay Schweitzer, whom he began dating in 2017. They married in September 2025.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell Pritchett

Ferguson had a successful theater career and a few TV appearances under his belt before taking on the role of the fittingly theater-obsessed lawyer Mitchell, whose constant bickering with his sister Claire and longtime partner Cam (whom he eventually married) set the stage for some of the sweetest reconciliations on the series.

Not only did playing Mitchell earn Ferguson five Emmy nominations, it also helped him feel empowered as an out gay actor.

“There was some weird superpower that I felt like I was being protected by this role that I was also playing,” Ferguson said on an August 2024 episode of his Dinner’s on Me podcast. “It kind of gave me this coat of armor, and I had this protection of being this character that people also loved. I don’t know. It was really weird.”

In addition to Modern Family, Ferguson served as a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance from 2011 to 2013, hosted Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in 2020 and appeared in projects like High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and 2023’s Cocaine Bear. In 2022, he won a Tony for his performance in the Broadway revival of Take Me Out.

Ferguson and actor Justin Mikita wed in 2013. The couple welcomed their first child, Beckett Mercer, in 2020 and second son, Sullivan Louis, in 2022.

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons as Lily Tucker-Pritchett

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons was just 3 years old when she joined the cast in 2011 for season 3. As the sassy and scheming Lily — the Vietnamese-born daughter of Cam and Mitchell — the actress became the youngest ever nominee (and winner!) of a Screen Actors Guild Award (now the Actor Awards) at age 4.

Though Anderson-Emmons hasn’t had any on-screen roles since Modern Family ended, she continues to pursue entertainment, performing in high school stage productions. Her former costars, Ferguson and Bowen, have even attended her performances to show their support.

“I was really nervous for you to come,” she told Ferguson on his podcast in June 2024. “Because I was like, ‘Oh my God, ain’t no way Jesse’s gonna be here, and he’s literally won a Tony.’ ”

Anderson-Emmons and her mom, Amy Anderson, have a food review YouTube channel called FoodMania Review.

Jeremy Maguire as Joe Pritchett

Jeremy Maguire was 4 years old when he joined the cast of Modern Family during the sitcom’s seventh season in 2015. He played Joe Pritchett, the son of Vergara’s Gloria Delgado-Pritchett and O’Neill’s Jay Pritchett.

Since the sitcom ended, Maguire has appeared in a handful of productions, including in the TV series Turner & Hootch in 2021, the 2022 film The Virgin of Highland Park and an episode of S.W.A.T. in 2023.

While Maguire doesn’t give many glimpses into his life on social media, he occasionally shares what he’s up to — from attending the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place premiere in 2024 to enjoying a trip to Walt Disney World with his younger sister in January.
