Listen up, fam!
Sixteen years ago, on Sept. 23, 2009, Modern Family premiered on ABC. And after watching the Dunphy-Pritchett-Tucker crew go through life’s ups and downs for 11 seasons, fans still enjoy keeping up with the cast’s major milestones off-camera.
Earlier this month, for instance, Eric Stonestreet celebrated not just turning 54 but also tying the knot with Lindsay Schweitzer.
“It’s my birthday and guess what I got,” the actor, who played Cam Tucker on the sitcom, wrote on Instagram Sept. 9. “I got married!”
Of course, his onscreen husband Jesse Tyler Ferguson was thrilled about the news.
“Of all the second marriages, this one is my favorite!” the 49-year-old, who portrayed Mitchell Pritchett, commented. “I love you both! I’m so happy for you!!!!”
And their TV daughter is doing big things too—changing her name from Aubrey Anderson-Emmons to Frances Anderson as she grows her career as a musician.
“Frances is actually part of my legal name,” the 18-year-old, who played Lily on Modern Family, explained to E! News last month. “It’s my middle name, and it’s after my mom’s old family friend. I thought Frances, one, it was a bit shorter than Aubrey Anderson-Emmons. I do have a long, hyphenated last name. But I wanted to switch it up, and I wanted people to see a new side of me, and I wanted to create a space specifically just for music.”
