<P> Modern Family revolves around three different types of families (nuclear, step - and same - sex) living in the Los Angeles area who are interrelated through Jay Pritchett and his children, Claire Dunphy (née Pritchett) and Mitchell Pritchett . Patriarch Jay is remarried to a much younger woman, Gloria Delgado Pritchett (née Ramirez), a passionate Colombian with whom he has an infant son, Fulgencio (Joe) Pritchett, and a son from Gloria's previous marriage, Manny Delgado . Jay's daughter Claire was a homemaker, but has returned to the business world . She now works in her father's closet business . She is married to Phil Dunphy, a realtor and self - professed "cool Dad". They have three children: Haley Dunphy, a stereotypical ditzy teenage girl; Alex Dunphy, a nerdy, smart middle child; and Luke Dunphy, the off - beat only son . Jay's lawyer son Mitchell and his husband Cameron Tucker have an adopted Vietnamese daughter, Lily Tucker - Pritchett . As the name suggests, this family represents a modern - day family and episodes are comically based on situations which many families encounter in real life . </P> <Ul> <Li> Ed O'Neill as Jay Pritchett </Li> <Li> Sofía Vergara as Gloria Pritchett </Li> <Li> Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy </Li> <Li> Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy </Li> <Li> Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell Pritchett </Li> <Li> Eric Stonestreet as Cameron Tucker </Li> <Li> Sarah Hyland as Haley Dunphy </Li> <Li> Ariel Winter as Alex Dunphy </Li> <Li> Nolan Gould as Luke Dunphy </Li> <Li> Rico Rodriguez as Manny Delgado </Li> <Li> Aubrey Anderson - Emmons as Lily Tucker - Pritchett (main seasons 3--present; portrayed by Jaden Hiller and Ella Hiller in seasons 1 and 2) </Li> <Li> Jeremy Maguire as Joe Pritchett (recurring seasons 5--6; main seasons 7--present) </Li> </Ul> <Li> Ed O'Neill as Jay Pritchett </Li> <Li> Sofía Vergara as Gloria Pritchett </Li>
