TY BURRELL (PHIL DUNPHY)
On “Modern Family,” Phil Dunphy is a loyal husband and a devoted dad. He is married to Claire, who is often critical. However, in real life, Ty Burrell tied the knot with Holly, who is a professional chef, in 2000. The couple has two kids, Frances, and Greta, 8 years old and 6 years old. They also have connections to Utah, where Ty has a restaurant and two bars.
To Holly and Ty Burrell, family is the world, and Burrell said to Fatherly that he loves to sit down and have dinner with his daughters and his wife each night.
“We’re very traditional in that way,” he said. “My wife and I were both raised in households where you sat down at dinner every night. It is a wonderful rhythm-of-the-day thing.”

JULIE BOWEN (CLAIRE DUNPHY)
“Modern Family’s” Claire Dunphy loves her wacky-but-loving relationship with her goofy husband Phil. However, in real life, Julie Bowen’s marriage hasn’t been really smooth lately. Back in 2004, Bowen got married to Scott Phillips, and they have three children, Oliver who is 11 years old and twins, John and Gustav who are 9 years old.
However, Julie filed for divorce earlier this year, and Julie has turned to her fellow actors and her kids to distract her from the situation.
“The beauty of having three children is they don’t give you much time for thinking,” Julie said in an interview with Us magazine back in April. “They’re like a crash course in being in the now.”
