Former Modern Family child star, now 18, comes out in new video
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons is coming out for Pride Month. The Modern Family star — known for playing Lily Tucker-Pritchett in the beloved sitcom — revealed she is bisexual in a video that paid homage to her character. In the social media clip posted via Threads on Monday, June 16, Anderson-Emmons was seen lip-synching to an iconic scene from the ABC show, in which her character tells her TV dad, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Sofía Vergara she's gay. Throwing on a pair of sunglasses, the actress laughs at the camera as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett (Vergara) tells a young Lily, 'You are Vietnamese,' to which Anderson-Emmons' character quips back, 'No, I'm not, I'm gay, I'm gay!' Mitchell Pritchett (Ferguson) then interjects, 'Honey, no, you're not gay. You are just confused!' Anderson-Emmons proudly wrote in text over the clip: 'people keep joking so much abt [sic] me being gay when I literally am (I'm bi).' Her caption read, 'happy pride month to all and to all a goodnight hehehe #modernfamily #lily #pridemonth #bi #pride.' Her fans immediately flocked to her comment section to sing her praises while also noting that her famous sitcom fathers — Ferguson's Mitchell and Eric Stonestreet's Cameron Tucker — would be proud of her. 'Omgggg cam and mitch would be so happy,' one person commented on the video. 'LMFAOOOO!!! Mitch and Cam are gonna be so proud!!!' added another. 'Like fathers like daughter,' shared a third. 'Perks of having gay dads,' a fourth commented. Mitchell and Cam's marriage is one of the most celebrated same-sex unions on television in the 21st century, with the show taking home two GLAAD Media Awards during its 11-season run. Anderson-Emmons joined Modern Family as Mitchell and Cam's adopted daughter in 2011 for the series' third season. She replaced the original actresses, twins Ella and Jaden Hiller, who took turns as Lily during the first two seasons. The sisters were recast after reportedly expressing they no longer wanted to act. Anderson-Emmons remained on the beloved sitcom until it ended in 2020. Lily, Mitchell and Cam almost had their own spin-off, which would have followed the family after they left Los Angeles and headed to Missouri. Unfortunately for fans, the idea was axed. 'I don't think it's potential anymore,' Stonestreet shared about the killed spin-off in 2024. 'They had their chance. [Series co-creator] Chris Lloyd and a couple of the writers wrote a really great script that spun Jesse and I off in our life in Missouri, and they said, 'No.' They just said, 'We don't want to do it.'' Anderson-Emmons just celebrated her 18th birthday on June 6. Following her stint on Modern Family, the actress starred in a short film called Tailwinds about a young female's love of aviation. These days, the child star's passion is music. Anderson-Emmons has been working on her own indie-pop tunes under the pseudonym Frances Anderson. The actress-turned-singer released her first single Telephones and Traffic late last month. Her newest song, Don't Forget Me, is set to be released on June 27.

In the clip, her character - who was born in Vietnam - is told by Sofia Vergara's Gloria Delgado-Pritchett: "You are Vietnamese." She replies: "No, I'm not. I'm gay, I'm gay." Her on-screen uncle Mitch Pritchett (played by Jesse Tyler-Ferguson) says: "Honey, no you are not gay. You are just confused. Oh my god, what is wrong with me?' Aubrey captioned the video: "People keep joking so much abt me being gay when I literally am (I'm bi).' And she wrote alongside the clip: "Happy pride month to all and to all a goodnight hehehe.'

She said in a TikTok video: "I am grateful for all the Modern Family has given me and all of you wonderful people, and it's time to move on to another chapter of my life." Elsewhere in the video, she admitted while she wasn't "forced into" Modern Family, it took its toll. She exlained: "I was not forced into anything. Like my mom wasn't like, 'You're gonna do this.' Like, it was not like that, and I was not abused on set or anything like that. "Like, I swear to God. But, it's true. You don't know what you're getting yourself into as a four year old when, like, you sign a contract to be on a show." She added: "People really took a dig on my acting choices or thought I was a bad actor." As well as Modern Family, Aubrey has also appeared as herself on Bill Nye Saves The World, and Paradise Run.
