With around 250 episodes filmed, it’s easy to imagine how close the Modern Family cast members are. For some — including the Dunphy kids: Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, and Nolan Gould — they’ve known their Modern Family family since they were children.

On Feb. 22, 2020, Hyland offered a look into this family when she posted the last videos and pictures the Modern Family cast took together while on set. Here’s what fans are saying about it.

ABC comedy ‘Modern Family’ ends after 11 years

After 11 seasons, ABC’s Modern Family has had a strong run, even earning a handful of Emmy Awards along the way. Fans saw characters grow up on this show. Gloria had her second child. Claire took over her father’s business. Lily went on her first date.

At the same time, fans watched as the actors of Modern Family grew up. As Alex got into Caltech, Ariel Winter was voice-acting for Disney Channel’s Sofia the First. As Haley was having twins, Sarah Hyland got engaged.
