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.'

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.

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.'
