“So lucky to have worked with these people for 11 years ❤️. I love and miss u all guys!!! #modernfamily,” wrote Vergara in another post, encapsulating the deep bond that formed among the cast over the years.
The shared photos provided a visual treat for fans, featuring Ariel Winter holding a picture of Ty Burrell’s character, a snapshot of Winter and Sarah Hyland posing together, and a group photo with Vergara, Hyland, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and his husband, Justin Mikita.
The absence of Ty Burrell did not go unnoticed, and Vergara shared a photo with on-screen husband Ed O’Neill, expressing, “We miss u Ty!!” Despite the missing member, the reunion radiated camaraderie and laughter, capturing the essence of the tight-knit family forged during the show’s successful run.
The reunion included familiar faces such as Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet, Rico Rodriguez, Nolan Gould, and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons. The cast members, now all grown up, reminisced about the show that brought them together and the lasting impact it had on their lives.
Co-creators Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan also joined the festivities, underlining the enduring legacy of “Modern Family.” The ABC comedy, which aired from 2009 to 2020, received widespread acclaim, earning an impressive 22 Emmys, including five consecutive wins for Best Comedy Series.
As 2023 becomes the year of cast reunions, with “Ted Lasso” and “Mean Girls” also celebrating their respective get-togethers, the “Modern Family” reunion serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bonds formed on and off-screen. It reinforces the idea that family, whether fictional or not, remains forever in the hearts of fans and the cast alike. Cheers to 11 years of laughter, love, and the unforgettable Pritchett-Dunphy family!
