Though the dynamics between the Pritchets, Delgados, and Dunphys were never perfect, they always came together to support one another. After 11 seasons playing a family unit<\/a>, it\u2019s no surprise the cast is all still very close with each other. Sofia Vergara, who played Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, says she misses one cast member in particular, and it\u2019s partially because of his group chat habits.<\/p>\n Modern Family ran from 2009-2020 on ABC, and in many ways, it was a very unique filming environment. So very rarely do all the stars of a TV show get along, but Julie Bowen, who played mom Claire Dunphy, has previously said she could have happily stayed on the Modern Family set forever<\/a>. Vergara shared similar sentiments<\/a> when the show ended, and personally reunited the cast at her house in 2023.<\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s not the same as seeing someone everyday, and the America\u2019s Got Talent judge recently told People<\/a> the reason why she misses her onscreen husband Ed O\u2019Neill (Jay Pritchett) more than most:<\/p>\n I miss Ed O’Neill so much. I mean, I miss everyone, but … most of my scenes were always with Ed O’Neill. I spent the most of the 11 years with him. I miss him so much. He was such a great friend, such a great pillar for me, because I had never really … That was like my first really acting job. So to have someone like Ed O’Neill guiding you and helping you through a show like Modern Family was a dream. I couldn’t have done it without him and I miss him. It’s been already six years that we stopped, but I miss everybody. I wish that we could all come to … We see each other but not as much as we should.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ed O\u2019Neill must have been the perfect mentor for the Hot Pursuit actress, after helming another familial sitcom Married\u2026With Children from 1987-1997. I have to say, Vergara must have made his job easy though. I remember her being a natural talent and favorite character on Modern Family from even the early episodes of Season 1, which are available to stream with a Hulu subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s natural to miss someone after spending nearly every day with them for 11 years. In many ways, it was like a real marriage with kids, and I love that the Modern Family cast have kept up those roles with each other<\/a> since the show\u2019s departure. Though some like Ty Burrell have moved away from Hollywood<\/a>, making it difficult to attend cast reunions<\/a>, they really do try to show up for the big moments in each others\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n Nearly all of them were in attendance for Sarah Hyland\u2019s wedding to reality star Wells Adams<\/a>, with her onscreen uncle Jesse Tyler Ferguson even officiating the nuptials<\/a>. Burrell and Eric Stonestreet (Cam) recently went to support Ferguson in his off-Broadway show<\/a> TRU as well.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
