After years of playing squabbling siblings on one of television’s most beloved sitcoms Modern Family, Ariel Winter and Nolan Gould have taken their real-life bond to a whole new level.
The Modern Family co-stars are now officially living together in Los Angeles, and the internet is absolutely losing it. Winter, who played the sharp-witted Alex Dunphy across 11 seasons, confirmed the news to a publication, saying it quite matter-of-factly. “It’s funny because I spend more time out here now and I rent a house with Nolan,” she told the portal. The 28-year-old actress had previously been living in Nashville with her then-boyfriend Luke Benward, along with their four rescue dogs. Following the breakdown of that relationship, she made the move back to LA and straight into a living situation that nobody predicted but absolutely everyone is here for.
Their Own Little Modern Family Reboot – Minus The Script
Winter did not shy away from drawing the comparison herself. When fans and press began asking about a potential Modern Family reboot, she gave an answer that stopped everyone in their tracks. “People ask me about a Modern Family reboot, but Nolan and I are real roommates now.
So, it’s like we’re having our own little Modern Family reboot, but it’s just the two of us living together. So, I see him every day,” she said. And it gets better. She also revealed to People that their domestic life is already sitcom-worthy material on its own. “I’m not gonna lie, when we sit there at night, and we watch, like, Temptation Island together, it’s pretty hilarious. So, we have thought about it,” she added, hinting that fans might actually get to see their day-to-day dynamic online someday. “We’re just like, people would find this really funny,” she said.
Eleven Seasons On Screen, A Lifetime Of Friendship Off It
Nolan Gould, who played the lovably goofy Luke Dunphy on the record-breaking sitcom, grew up alongside Winter on those sets from 2009 all the way through to 2020.
While their characters spent over a decade driving each other mad with classic sibling chaos, the two actors have always maintained that their real bond runs far deeper than anything written in a script. Now sharing a roof in LA, it appears that the friendship built under studio lights has quietly become one of ‘s most enduring. For fans who spent years watching Alex and Luke bicker their way through the Dunphy household, this is the wholesome update nobody knew they needed, and honestly, it feels like the best kind of finale.
