Modern Family star Aubrey Anderson-Emmons is coming out as bisexual this Pride Month!

The 18-year-old actress shared the news most fittingly with her 2.5 million TikTok followers on Sunday, June 15, by quoting a classic line from the hit show.

Anderson-Emmons lip-synced along to a soundbite of her character, precocious Lily Tucker-Pritchett, declaring that she was not Vietnamese and telling her parents, “I’m gay! I’m gay!”

“People keep joking so much abt me being gay when I literally am (I’m bi),” the actress wrote over the video.

From the beginning, fans fell in love with the cast of Modern Family — but they sure have changed over the past 13 years. When the series debuted, many of the cast members were so young that they ultimately grew up on screen. “There’s definitely one season for me when I hit puberty right when […]

Anderson-Emmons also shared the funny TikTok via Instagram on Monday, June 16, with the caption: “Happy pride month to all and to all a goodnight hehehe #modernfamily #lily #pridemonth #bi #pride🌈”

The child star joined the cast of Modern Family in 2011 for season 3, playing Lily, the charming adopted daughter of Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson). She remained part of the cast through the Emmy-winning comedy’s final season in 2020.

In February 2024, Anderson-Emmons said she would be open to reprising her role as Lily in a Modern Family spinoff should ABC ever revive the show.

“I’d definitely be interested if the script was good and the dads were on board, but school is my priority right now unless something great comes along,” she told DailyMail.com. “I feel like the finale left possibilities and I think that’s why people are always talking about a spinoff of the Tucker-Pritchard family.”

Anderson-Emmons was just a toddler when she joined Modern Family and bonded with her TV dads both on and off set. In fact, she remains close to both Stonestreet and Ferguson five years after the show ended.

“I just called her the other day, and it went straight to voicemail,” Ferguson exclusively told Us Weekly last December.

The actor joked that being silenced was a hit to his ego. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, she sent me to voicemail!’” Ferguson continued. “I’m calling her, and she’s sending me to voicemail. She’s like, ‘Oh God, my TV dad’s calling me.’”

ABC From the minute that Modern Family aired its series finale in 2020, fans have been begging for a revival — and so have some of the show’s cast members. Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who played Mitchell Pritchett, reignited rumors when he shared a snap inside the Dunphy family home. “Haven’t seen this view in awhile,” […]

The actor noted that he met Anderson-Emmons when she was only 3 years old, so he still thinks of her as a little girl at times. “But, you know, she’s a different human being now,” he confessed.

Although Ferguson didn’t love being sent to voicemail by his former costar, he told Us he’d love to reunite with Anderson-Emmons and the rest of the cast for a movie.

“We’ve been away from these characters for four or five years, like, let’s just drop in and see what’s happening five years later,” he said of his ideas for a movie catch-up. “Maybe Mitch and Cameron still moved away and you want to see these characters together, so it could be around some sort of family reunion.”
