The Dunphy Kids: New Names, New Stages, and Life Outside Hollywood
The actors who played the three Dunphy children—Haley, Alex, and Luke—have shown the most dramatic career shifts since the series concluded. Their post-Modern Family paths highlight a desire to prove their versatility beyond the iconic sitcom roles and, in some cases, a conscious decision to step away from the traditional Hollywood spotlight.
Sarah Hyland's Theatrical Comeback and Wedding Bliss
Sarah Hyland, who played the fashion-forward Haley Dunphy, has successfully transitioned back to the stage. In 2024, she took on the role of Audrey in the long-running Off-Broadway revival of the musical Little Shop of Horrors, demonstrating her vocal and theatrical talents. Hyland also signed onto a new movie project in May 2024, signaling a return to film work. In her personal life, Hyland is set to celebrate her third wedding anniversary with her husband, former Bachelorette contestant Wells Adams, in August 2025, often sharing glimpses of their life together on social media.
Ariel Winter's Quiet Shift and Upcoming Projects
Ariel Winter, known for the brainy Alex Dunphy, has taken a more private approach to her career. While her IMDb page showed three upcoming projects as of early 2024, she made headlines for her lifestyle change. Winter and her long-term boyfriend, actor Luke Benward, moved out of Los Angeles in 2022, seeking a life away from the intense media scrutiny of Hollywood. This move suggests a prioritization of personal well-being over continuous acting work, a sentiment she has shared in previous interviews.
Nolan Gould and the Power of Residuals
Nolan Gould (Luke Dunphy) has been candid about the challenges of growing up on a highly successful show. While his post-Modern Family acting resume is notably sparse, he continues to earn substantial income from residuals—payments received every time a show re-airs. In a 2024 interview, Gould shared that the unique environment of the set made it "hard to bond with people" outside the show, a poignant reflection on the cost of childhood fame. He has focused on travel and personal interests, including becoming a certified scuba diver.
The Pritchett-Tucker Family: Streaming Success, Broadway, and a Major Name Change
The adult cast members have leveraged their fame into high-profile, diverse roles across different media, from prestige TV to the stage. This section highlights the latest, most surprising moves from the Pritchett and Pritchett-Tucker sides of the family.
Sofía Vergara’s Dramatic Turn in Griselda
Sofía Vergara’s decision to move from the beloved comedic role of Gloria Pritchett to the titular, dramatic lead in the Netflix limited series Griselda was a masterstroke of career reinvention. The 2024 series, based on the life of Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco, showcased a raw, dramatic side of Vergara that surprised many viewers and critics. Her success in Griselda solidified her status as a global entertainment mogul, further contributing to her standing as the wealthiest member of the cast with an estimated net worth of $180 million.
The Mitch and Cam Duo: Theatre, Directing, and a Spinoff That Never Was
Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell) and Eric Stonestreet (Cameron) remain close, frequently supporting each other's work. Ferguson has deeply immersed himself in the theatre world, with recent roles in Off-Broadway productions like Twelfth Night and the new musical Bronco Billy in 2024 and 2025. He also appeared in the 2024 film All That We Love. Stonestreet, meanwhile, continues his successful run in family entertainment, starring in Disney+'s The Santa Clauses.
The two actors have been central to the persistent rumors of a Modern Family reunion or a spin-off. While Jesse Tyler Ferguson addressed the reunion rumors in a June 2024 interview, confirming the cast is still in touch, it was Eric Stonestreet who revealed that a spin-off focusing on Mitch, Cam, and Lily moving to Missouri was actively pitched to ABC but ultimately did not happen. This revelation fueled fan speculation about what could have been.
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons' Surprising Career Pivot
Perhaps the most unexpected recent update comes from Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who played the deadpan Lily Tucker-Pritchett. After celebrating her 18th birthday in 2025, the actress announced a major career pivot into music. More significantly, she confirmed a name change, now preferring to be known as Frances Anderson for her upcoming debut EP. This move demonstrates a clear break from her child-star persona and a focus on establishing a new artistic identity in the music industry.
The Future of the Modern Family Universe: Reunions and New Ventures
While the planned Mitch and Cam spin-off is off the table, the cast continues to demonstrate their enduring bond. A large group of the main actors—including Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Ed O'Neill, Sofía Vergara, Eric Stonestreet, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson—reunited to present an award at the 2024 SAG Awards, proving that the on-screen family chemistry is still very much alive.
Beyond reunions, the remaining principal actors are also thriving:
- Ed O'Neill (Jay Pritchett): The veteran actor made a high-profile return to prestige television in the 2024 FX on Hulu limited series Clipped, showcasing his dramatic chops outside of comedy.
- Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy): Following her appearance in the 2024 horror-comedy Hysteria!, Bowen is set to star in the new NBC comedy series Taste, further solidifying her role as a major network comedy lead and producer.
- Rico Rodriguez (Manny Delgado): Rodriguez's shift into voice acting for the 2025 animated film Sneaks and his role in the 2024 movie The Curse of the Sandman indicates a successful transition to adult roles and new genres.
The Modern Family cast has not only maintained their relevance but has actively sought out projects that challenge their established personas. From Sofía Vergara's dramatic turn to Frances Anderson's musical debut, the current careers of the actors are arguably more diverse and compelling than ever before, ensuring that their names will remain in the headlines well into 2025 and beyond.
