Lily was the adopted daughter of the comedy's beloved gay couple Mitchell Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet).
Aubrey began the series in 2009 at the young age of four.
Now, in a new video shared on TikTok, the actress has come out as bisexual.
And she does so in a playful manner, by using some audio from a season four episode.
In the episode, called The Future Dunphys, a young Lily claims she's gay.
And Aubrey wrote over the top of the video: 'People keep joking so much about me being being gay when I literally am (I'm bi).'
In the clip, the star lip syncs to: 'No I'm not, I'm gay! I'm gay!'
Aubrey added to the video: ''hehe happy pride month and to all a good night #modernfamily #lily #pridemonth #pride #fyp #bi.'

Since Modern Family went off-air in 2020, the 18-year-old former TV star took a break from acting to pursue her rock music career.
Modern Family cast reunites in 'iconic' moment – but Jesse Tyler Ferguson calls out 'shameful' group for snub
Aubrey - who is the daughter of Korean-born Lucifer actress Amy Anderson - often shares videos of the group performing on social media.
And she's remained close with the Modern Family cast since the season finale.
Last year, Jesse attended Aubrey's school production of The Burn and shared photos of the sweet reunion on Instagram.
The star hasn't shied away from acting altogether though since Modern Family, and appeared in a short film named Tallwinds last year.
Last month, Aubrey opened up about her fame at a young age in a TikTok video.
The Cast of Modern Family
Modern Family had an 11-year run on ABC before the sitcom's end in 2020. Here's a list of the iconic cast.
Julie Bowen
Ty Burrell
Eric Stonestreet
Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Sarah Hyland
Nolan Gould
Sofia Vergara
Ariel Winter
Ed O'Neill
Rico Rodriguez
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons
Jeremy Maguire
She said to her 2.4million TikTok followers: 'People ask things like, 'How did you know you wanted to do that when you were four? How do you know you love something when you're so young?' And the truth is, you don't.
'My mom wasn't like, 'you're going to do this,' it was not like that.
'I was not abused on set or anything like that, but you don't know what you're getting yourself into at four years old when you sign a contract to be on a show.'

Aubrey continued: 'Also, being on a TV show from a young age, people really took digs at my acting choices or they would say I'm a bad actor.
'I don't feel like I need to prove myself to other people... but it was really hard for me to grow up with so many people's opinions around me.'

Oasis fans warned about ticket issues inside Croke Park
Oasis fans are arriving to Croke Park in droves for the band's second sold-out night in the capital. However, many of the Saturday night attendees have warned those following them about issues they experienced inside the stadium. The first show didn't go perfectly to plan for some fans, especially those with standing tickets on the pitch. Oasis fans Mamush Grispen and Robbe Hendrick from Belgium in Temple Bar for the concert. Pic: Sasko Lazarov/© A number of standing section ticketholders have said they were initially let in to Croke Park but weren't given a wristband, which are commonly used by stadiums to identify who is entitled to access into standing areas. They were reportedly then later stopped from entering the standing area because of not having a wristband. This caused delays for fans trying to get onto the pitch and secure a spot to watch the Gallagher brothers' first Irish show since 2009. Oasis fans Oonagh Linnane with Andy Nugent and Catherine Doyle at Stephens Green before the concert. Pic: Sasko Lazarov/© Video footage from the concert shows a large number of fans still streaming onto the pitch after Oasis had already started performing. There were further issues at the other end of the gig on Saturday night, with planned pyrotechnics for the finale not going off 'due to a technical issue'. However, it won't be much of a concern for the tens of thousands of fans descending upon Croke Park for the second sold-out show as fans ultimately reported an unbelievable experience on night one. Oasis drones over Croke Park. Pic: TikTok Footage has been circulating on social media since Oasis closed out the first gig and fans look set to be in for another night of pure entertainment. The brothers, joined by fellow band members Andy Bell, Gem Arche and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs played all their greatest hits and even paid tribute to Peggy Gallagher, the Mayo mammy of Liam and Noel. Speaking to the crowd on Saturday, Liam wondered if there was anyone from Peggy's native of Charlestown in Co Mayo. With the crowd erupting after Liam mentioned the town, the 52-year-old joked: 'There's only about five people there, you can't all be f*cking from there.' Social media has been rife with attendees of Saturday's gig wishing they could go again on Sunday, as they confirmed Sunday attendees were in for the 'best gig of your life.' One said: 'Anyone going tomorrow night, you'll see the best gig of your life. Just hit after hit. Incredible night.' Another shared: 'I turn 50 at midnight. This was the perfect farewell to the past.' 'Best night of my life,' a third person shared, 'That will never be topped.'

I knocked 5 years off my age with TWO quick beauty swaps – people say I'm in my ‘clean girl' era & ‘look so much better'
Plus, four easy ways to give yourself a glow-down this year YOU GLOW GIRL I knocked 5 years off my age with TWO quick beauty swaps – people say I'm in my 'clean girl' era & 'look so much better' A WOMAN has left people gobsmacked after she knocked five years off her appearance thanks to two quick beauty swaps. It seems that after countless years of rocking cakey make-up, orange fake tan and mega fluttery eyelashes, many women in the world are finally realising that less is more. 2 One beauty buff has left TikTok users stunned with her jaw-dropping makeover Credit: tiktok/@glitchnicole 2 While Nicole revealed she may return to facial fillers at some point, fans begged her not to Credit: tiktok/@glitchnicole The so-called ''clean girl'' aesthetic promotes enhancing natural beauty - rather than covering it up. With a glow-down, out are the hair extensions, fake nails and lash extensions - and in is learning how to take care of your skin to make it radiant. As beauty buffs are learning to love and rock their authentic selves, thousands have taken to social media to show off their epic transformations - including TikTok user Nicole (@glitchnicole). For the past six years, Nicole had been getting facial fillers - and while at the time she didn't care what others had to say about the look, Nicole recently decided she was ready for a major change. ''It made me really happy. But now, I'm in a different stage and I wanted to reverse it - and I just did it,'' she said in a video posted this week. ''It is my body, my choice and my happiness. I'm really happy with my decision now but I'm not going to deny, I was also really happy then - and that is exactly the point. ''You don't always change something because you hate yourself - sometimes you do it simply because you want to, because it feels right for you.'' Nicole added that while she loved that people were ''going natural'', there could be a time where she could return to fillers - if that's what she wanted. As well as ditching fillers for the time being, the beauty buff has also said goodbye to another popular trend - hair extensions. Up until the jaw-dropping makeover, the TikToker was sporting Rapunzel-like hair - which weighed a whopping 400g, she revealed in a follow-up clip. I've lost 9 stone & am barely recognisable from my former self - my transformation's so insane people even think it's AI According to the stunner, the transformation has knocked off ''five years of age'' - and it's all thanks to giving up these two looks. But while Nicole may eventually have facial fillers again, one thing is clear - social media users cannot get enough of her new self. Posted just two days ago, the glow-down has racked up more than 150k views, with hundreds in awe at how much younger she looked. Four ways to give yourself a glowdown Thick fluffly lashes are out, so is the fake tan and long how to have the ultimate glow-down in four steps... The term "glow-down" refers to a woman removing what once was the most popular beauty choices, for a more natural look. Eyelash extensions - Thick, bold "Russian lashes" used to be all the rage, but nowadays, girls are opt for subtle, individual eyelash extensions to lengthen what they already have. Nails - Gone are the long, plastic talons, more women are favouring BIAB or gel manis. Hair colour - Remember when everyone wanted icy white hair? Not anymore! Millions of women are trying to go back to their roots (literally), and have soft blondes, and warm gold tones added to their hair, in a bid to achieve the "old money blonde" look. Makeup - Sculpting your face shape through the art of contouring is no more. Ladies are adding freckles and sweeping blush across cheekbones instead. One person wrote: ''You look SOOO much better. Younger. More vibrant.'' Another fan agreed, adding: ''Incredible honestly!! Best decision you've made to remove them fillers.'' Someone else chimed in: ''An angel got her wings back.'' ''Absolutely YES! You looked like you were already in your 40s!! Now you're glowing,'' a viewer commented. ''I'm Dutch, and even for a Dutch person I can be very straight forward. So my honest opinion: best decision ever and please don't ever do it again!'' a fan begged, ''You look way better, healthier, powerful, elegant, beautiful than before. Well done that lady!''

"But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family. "I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to."
