ED O’NEILL (JAY PRITCHETT)
Jay Pritchett, the closets mogul and a blustery patriarch on “Modern Family,” is portrayed by Ed O’Neill. The actor was previously known for “Married… With Children.” In real life, Ed and Catherine Russoff have been married since 1986, and just like on the show, the couple has two daughters, Claire, and Sophia, 22 years old and 19 years old respectively.
SOFIA VERGARA (GLORIA PRITCHETT)
Jay Pritchett’s second wife, Gloria, is loving, loud, and sexy and she is portrayed with just enough sass and hysterical timing by Sofia Vergara, a Colombian actress. With a luxurious Palm Beach wedding covered with flowers and flowing with romance, Sofia got married to Joe Manganiello, who is an actor from “True Blood,” back in November of 2015.
Sofia’s “Modern Family” co-actors attended her wedding, and soon after, she was interviewed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” She said, “It was like a fairy tale. It came out perfectly how I wanted, I have to say.” Sofia also has a son from her previous marriage, Manolo, who is 26 years old.
