Jesse Tyler Ferguson recently reunited with his Modern Family daughter, Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who now goes professionally by Frances Anderson.
Although it’s been nearly six years since Modern Family wrapped, the bond Ferguson and Anderson formed on the show remains strong. Ferguson showcased that connection by taking his children to see Anderson in her latest project.
On Instagram, Ferguson shared a carousel of photos featuring Anderson, smiling from ear to ear, and wrote in the caption:

So so proud of you. Love you. And what a treat to see the amazing @nfparkergirl again in green paint and slaying! Congrats @beckyblythgoe @krislythgoe.”
Anderson responded in the comments, expressing her appreciation for her former on-screen dad: “Thanks for coming Jesse!!”
Ferguson brought along his two children, Beckett and Sully, whom he shares with his husband, Justin Mikita, to support Anderson. Wells Adams, married to Modern Family star Sarah Hyland, also chimed in on the post, calling it “super cute,” to which Ferguson playfully replied, “@wellsadams YOU ARE CUTE WELLS.”
Fans flooded the comments with admiration and nostalgia, writing, “You two warm my heart,” and “These continue to be THE BEST post-curtain moments!!!!” One viewer shared, “Actually watching the show now. Lilly and her dads are on, then opened Insta and saw your photos!! Lol.” Others added, “I love seeing you show up for her and your fellow castmates! 🥰”
Some fans joked about other cast members, while many simply expressed excitement and affection for the reunion: “so cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” “Obsessed!!,” and “I miss Modern Family so much.”
