You probably know Stephanie Beatriz as the tough, leather-jacket wearing bad-ass on sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but once upon a time she made an appearance on Modern Family as Gloria’s sister! You may also remember that it was SHE who was in fact supposed to marry Jay initially! Sure, on the show she’s not exactly portrayed as the most bubbly, fun person to be around, but it’s definitely the opposite in real life!
Actor boyfriend Brad Hoss knew she was the one and popped the question in October 2017. The pair got married in secret, in 2018. We wish them all the best!
Andrew Daly & Carri Levinson (Married)
Major throwback time. Back in ’09 on the show, when Haley and Alex were still in high school, you may remember an episode where the pair were in a little trouble with the Principal! Playing Principal Brown was Andrew Daly, disciplining the pair for cheating on their school tests!
In his personal world, Daly is an actor, comedian and writer, known for his role as Forrest MacNeil on Comedy Central series Review, as well as Mad TV and Eastbound & Down. He’s married to actress Carri Levinson, since 2004. 15 years later, the pair have found success and are now living in Los Angeles with their two daughters.
Jennifer Tilly & Phil Laak (Dating)
So, we all know Shorty, Jay’s BFF. But we’re throwing it back to season three, when we were introduced to his eclectic and bubbly girlfriend, Darlene. In real life, Jennifer Tilly is an actress, poker player and writer. She’s also been nominated for an Academy Award, AND she’s won a World Series of Poker Ladies’ Event bracelet.
It’s no surprise then that she met her boyfriend Phil Laak on the poker circuit. Both being professional poker players, it was this change in career which led her to meet Irish player Phil at an event. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again; and the rest is history!
Leslie Mann & Judd Apatow (Married)
What we love about these celebrity cameos is that they may be small, but they certainly add a bit of pizzazz! In a hilariously funny twist, Cameron tried to prove that he still had the wit and charm to make a woman fall for him! Enter Leslie Mann. Are you surprised that it worked? We’re not! Cam’s still got it, ladies and gents!
In the real world, we’re sure she’s swatting away men, but she’s only got her eyes for one man; Judd Apatow. An American TV producer, writer, director, actor and stand-up comedian, he’s even founded his own production company! The pair have been married for almost 22 years and have two beautiful girls.
James Marsden & Edei (Dating)
Okay, we’re fangirling. Again. But with a smile like James Marsden’s, it’s impossible not to fall in love. He’s popped up here and there and has made quite the name for himself; you would’ve seen him most recently starring in the futuristic-western drama series, Westworld. On Modern Family however, he certainly has a more light-hearted role; possibly you’ve forgotten his not-so-grand entrance when he attempted to sleep in Mitch and Cam’s backyard…in a princess castle…
Marsden was married to Lisa Linde for 11 years, with whom he has three children. The pair, however, decided to split up. Since then, he found British singer Edei, whom he has been dating for two years. The pair aren’t shy of sharing their personal life on social media, however, they do their best to not appear too frequently in the spotlight!
