'Modern Family': Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould talk growing up on show
Known for playing Alex and Luke Dunphy on ABC's "Modern Family," Ariel Winter and Nolan Gould talk growing up before the fans' eyes over the decade.
USA TODAY
Lily from "Modern Family" is all grown up, and she's celebrating Pride Month right.
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who starred as Mitchell and Cameron's daughter Lily Tucker-Pritchett on the ABC sitcom for nine seasons, took to Instagram to share that she is bisexual — and she did so by quoting a famous scene from the show.
In the post, Anderson-Emmons lip-synched to audio from a "Modern Family" scene where her character Lily announces, while at a restaurant with her parents, "I'm gay! I'm gay!" She captioned the clip, "People keep joking so much abt me being gay when I literally am (I'm bi)."
"Happy pride month to all and to all a goodnight hehehe," she added in the caption.
The original clip comes from the Season 4 episode "The Future Dunphys," in which Lily announces that she is gay. But it soon becomes clear this is because she's under the impression that the fact that her parents are gay makes her gay.
Mitch and Cam subsequently take Lily out to a Vietnamese restaurant to teach her about her heritage. But Lily has no interest, declaring that she hates Vietnam and that "I'm not (Vietnamese), I'm gay!"

In a May interview with Entertainment Tonight, Anderson-Emmons noted that the scene has become "unescapable" for her online. "My comment section, I could post anything, and there will be at least one comment that's like, 'I hate Vietnam!'" she said. "Honestly, I'm here for it, though."

Anderson-Emmons also revealed to Entertainment Tonight that she has been rewatching the show for the first time. "I started to realize, 'Oh, wow, people have seen more of me at that age than I have seen me at that age, and they remember more than I do," she explained. "So I was like, 'I should go back and watch.'"
Anderson-Emmons starred as Lily on "Modern Family" beginning in the show's third season, when she was four years old, and stayed a part of the cast through the series finale in 2020.
She is also a singer and released the single "Telephones and Traffic" in May. In an Instagram post on June 16, Anderson-Emmons teased that she has "new music coming soon," with her song "Don't Forget Me" set to drop on June 27.

Former President Joe Biden and his family crashed the set of the action series 'Reacher' on Monday morning. CBS Philadelphia reported that Biden, his wife Jill and his son Hunter surprised the cast and crew of the Amazon Prime series in Philadelphia as they shot a police chase. HughE Dillon, a local photographer who was watching the filming nearby, told CBS Philadelphia about suddenly seeing black SUVs pulling up onto the scene. 'Out walked these men, that I thought they were actors, but then the entire cast and crew started clapping and cheering,'Dillon said. 'Then someone said, 'We love you, Joe, we love you!'' According to the report, the former president was visiting the area to get breakfast at the nearby restaurant Parc. He later met and took photos with several cast and crew members, including the show's lead actor, Alan Ritchson. Dillon said the cast and crew seemed surprised to see the Bidens. 'It was just something very bizarre that I never could have imagined, both things were happening at the same time,' he said. 4 Joe and Hunter Biden on set of Reacher. Alan Ritchson/Instagram 4 According to the report, the former president was visiting the area to get breakfast at the nearby restaurant Parc. Alan Ritchson/Instagram It was unclear if the Bidens knew the show was filming outside the restaurant ahead of their visit. Fox News Digital reached out to Biden's office for comment. Ritchson later wrote about the meeting on his Instagram account on Tuesday. 'So our Reacher set got in the way of these legends,' Ritchson wrote. 'Was a privilege and honor to meet the Biden family. They couldn't have been more lovely. Kind, joyful, gracious and present. We chatted briefly about simple stuff, like string theory and quantum entanglement. Then Joe beat me at arm wrestling. All in a day's work.' 4 It was unclear if the Bidens knew the show was filming outside the restaurant ahead of their visit. Alan Ritchson/Instagram He also posted photos and videos of himself interacting with the former president and his son, Hunter Biden. Ritchson has made political comments against conservatives in the past. In a Hollywood Reporter interview from April 2024, Ritchson criticized Christian supporters of President Donald Trump. 'Trump is a rapist and a con man, and yet the entire Christian church seems to treat him like he's their poster child and it's unreal. I don't understand it,' Ritchson said. 4 Dillon said the cast and crew seemed surprised to see the Bidens. Alan Ritchson/Instagram One month later, he claimed he was 'met with violence' for sharing these and other views. 'If you want to see violence flee the world, be more generous to everybody! That is the Christian ethic! That is what I don't see happening. And when I speak up about it in my own ways, I'm met with violence,' Ritchson said.
