Modern Family stars Ariel Winter and Nolan Gould are now roommates in real life, years after portraying siblings Alex and Luke Dunphy on the hit ABC comedy series.
The revelation has sparked major fan reactions online, with many viewers calling it an unexpected “Modern Family reboot” after Winter confirmed the living arrangement during a recent interview with PEOPLE.
Winter said she currently rents a house with Gould in Los Angeles after splitting her time between California and Nashville following her reported breakup with longtime boyfriend Luke Benward.
A Real-Life ‘Modern Family’ Reunion
Speaking about the situation, Winter joked that the pair are essentially living inside their own version of the famous sitcom.
“People ask me about a Modern Family reboot, but Nolan and I are real roommates now,” she said.
The actress added that their daily routines and conversations often feel entertaining enough to become a reality show of their own.
Winter revealed the two frequently spend evenings watching reality television together and laughing at their interactions, saying fans would probably find their dynamic “really funny.”
Bond Stayed Strong After Show Ended
The duo became close while filming Modern Family, which ran for 11 seasons between 2009 and 2020 and became one of television’s most successful family sitcoms.
Winter said their friendship remained strong long after filming ended, describing Gould as someone she still considers family.
“We really were like a real family,” she said while reflecting on the emotional end of the show.
The actress also spoke about growing up together on set alongside cast members including Julie Bowen, Sofía Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Ed O'Neill.
Breakup With Luke Benward Confirmed
The update also comes shortly after reports confirmed Winter and Luke Benward ended their relationship after nearly six years together.
According to reports cited in the coverage, the breakup happened amicably and the two remain close friends while continuing to share care for their rescue dogs.
Winter had reportedly been living with Benward in Nashville before increasingly returning to Los Angeles in recent months.
Fans Push for Modern Family Revival
The unexpected roommate revelation has reignited online discussion about a possible Modern Family reunion or reboot.
Although no official reboot has been announced, fan interest around the cast has remained strong years after the series finale aired in 2020.
The show continues to attract audiences globally through streaming platforms, while cast reunions and interviews regularly trend across entertainment and social media spaces.
Winter is also preparing to return as the voice of Sofia in the reboot series Sofia the First: Royal Magic, scheduled to premiere later this month.
