Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, famed for her role in Modern Family, has shared an update on social media that she is bisexual.
The 18-year-old, beloved for portraying Lily Tucker-Pritchett on Modern Family, proudly came out as bisexual in honor of Pride Month.
... And the way she did it will definitely please Modern Family fans.
Aubrey posted a video on social media lip-syncing a memorable scene from the show.
In the clip, a young Lily, handing her dad (Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Mitchell) and Gloria (Sofía Vergara) the curveball, is told: “You are Vietnamese.”
She responded sharply: “No, I’m not, I’m gay, I’m gay!” Mitchell then chimes in with: “Honey, no, you’re not gay. You are just confused!”
Adding a personal twist, Aubrey wore sunglasses and overlaid the text: “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.”
People flooded the comment section with support, with one person writing: "Please she manifested it."
A second said: "Omgggg cam and mitch would be so happy," while a third added: "Girly pop knew who she was from an early age."
Mitchell and Cameron’s marriage was groundbreaking - the couple became one of TV’s most iconic same-sex unions, even winning two GLAAD Media Awards during the series' 11-season run.
Aubrey stepped into the role of Lily in 2011 (with twins Ella and Jaden Hiller having played her in the first two seasons) and remained a fixture until the show concluded in 2020.
There was talk of a Modern Family spinoff centered on Lily, Mitch, and Cam relocating to Missouri. In 2024, actor Eric Stonestreet confirmed it was scrapped: “I don’t think it’s potential anymore,” he revealed.
“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.’”
Now, Aubrey is forging a new path.
After wrapping her iconic role, she starred in the short film Tailwinds and has since ventured into music under her stage name Frances Anderson.
She dropped her debut single 'Telephones and Traffic' last month, and is set to release 'Don’t Forget Me' on June 27.
