Modern familyget together!
On Wednesday night, Sofía Vergara gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at what she described as the “first ever” cast reunion for the award-winning ABC sitcom.
Photos from the get-together showed the 51-year-old actress laughing with her on-screen family, most of whom were the main cast.
Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ariel Winter, Rico Rodriguez, Ed O’Neill, Nolan Gould and more were featured at the get-together – with actor Ty Burrell sadly missing.

Instead of Burrell, the entire cast posed for a photo together with a portrait of him as Phil Dunphy. The cast also chanted “we miss you Ty” and “love you dad” in a photo they posed above a fireplace in a video shared on Vergara’s Instagram account.
“So happy to have worked with these people for 11 years❤️,” Vergara wrote in another caption. “I love and miss you all!!! #modernfamily.”
Other pictures from the get-together show Vergara talking to her husband O’Neill, 77, on screen, posing with son Rodriguez, 25, and laughing on the floor with Ferguson, 48.

Ferguson also opened up about the reunion, which he described on Instagram as “almost” perfect. “Our two fathers Chris Lloyd and Steve Levitan were even there,” he added of the showrunners.
The actor also shared a few pictures from the get-together, including a photo of himself with his on-screen family Stonestreet, 52, and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, 16.
Stonestreet himself shared a few pictures from the reunion, with a sweet caption about the missing cast member. “We would do family photos for 11 years Modern family and without ever missing one, I’d always say, ‘now let’s do one without Ty.’ Ty couldn’t make it to our little impromptu get-together last night, so I had to bring his favorite picture of Phil so we could ‘do one without Ty’.”

While most of the family came together this time, this week’s reunion wasn’t the only time cast members shared a space together in the past few months.
Even before her October get-together with Bowen and Ferguson, Vergara shared snaps from Hyland and Wells Adams’ August 2022 wedding in Solvang, California, when she spent some time with Ferguson, Bowen and Gould as part of the festivities.
