Watch: Modern Family's Ariel Winter Gives Update on Her Life Outside of Hollywood (Exclusive)The Pritchett-Dunphy family needed Phil's-Osophy to help solve this problem. Sofía Vergara reflected on her notable bond with her Modern Family costars, admitting that they briefly drifted apart after the show's finale in 2020. "[The cast] kind of got separated because we finished, and two weeks later, they closed everything for COVID," Sofía told People in an interview published Nov. 10. "We got disconnected really fast." However, the 53-year-old-who starred as Gloria Pritchett in the ABC series alongside Ed O'Neill, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Sarah Hyland, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ariel Winter, Rico Rodriguez, Aubrey Anderson-Emmons and Nolan Gould-didn't let this roadblock define their close relationship. In fact, Sofía reunited with nearly the entire cast for a dinner party in November 2023. photosModern Family Cast's Last Day on SetSince that initial meetup, the group has made even more memories on and off-camera, including presenting at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards last February. As for their next modern reunion? The Griselda alum shared that they're "going to do a big party" for Eric, 54, and his wife Lindsay Schweitzer, who got married in September. And true to their friendship, Sofía expressed, "I'm super excited [for him]." View this post on Instagram Though fans can't expect a reboot of the ABC sitcom, the America's Got Talent judge will always root for her onscreen family. "Everything we do, we are connected in a gigantic chat with all the kids and all the actors," she told E! News on Oct. 18 "And we're always watching each other, supporting each other." But that connection doesn't end with her former castmates, as Sofía also still adores the character she played in the show's 11 seasons. In fact, she's already envisioned all the goals Gloria, Ed's Jay Pritchett and their kids have accomplished since the finale. "Jay and Gloria would be getting ready for Manny to already have left for college," Sofía explained. "That would have been, I'm sure, a really, really fun season, to just have now Jay and Gloria together with little Joe." Keep reading to see more of the Modern Family cast...
