Modern Family fans collectively sighed in adoration over the reunion of cast members Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his TV daughter, Aubrey Anderson-Emmons.

Ferguson played gay father and husband Mitchell for the entire series since it started in 2009.


The role of Mitchell and his husband Cameron Tucker's adopted Vietnamese daughter Lily was played by Anderson-Emmons from the third season of the show until its 11th and final season.

Last week, Ferguson saw his now-grown "pretend daughter" in her high school musical production, and he shared a photo commemorating their reunion.

He wrote in the caption:

"Got to see my talented pretend daughter @aubreyandersonemmons in her high school production of THE BURN."

The 48-year-old actor shares two children, Beckett and Sullivan, with his husband, lawyer Justin Mikita.

Ferguson recalled how his TV daughter was nearly the same age as his real-life son Beckett, who is 3, when he first began working with Anderson-Emmons.

He continued:

"It's crazy to think Aubrey was just a few months older than Beckett when I met her! Look at her now!!!"
"Congrats, Aubrey! You were SO great! Love you! You make a pretend papa proud."



Anderson-Emmons, who is now 16, expressed her gratitude.

Even though the show wrapped over three years ago, Modern Family cast members have not become distant off-screen.

Ferguson's onscreen hubby Eric Stonestreet paid him a long-overdue visit.


In a fun Father's Day post, actress Sarah Hyland, who played the eldest sibling of the Dunphys, paid tribute to all her dads: her dad, father-in-law, and Ty Burrell, who played Phil Dunphy.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

John Oliver Epically Drags Jesse Watters For Sharing Unverified Video Of Alleged Reflecting Pool Vandals On Fox News

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.
