<P> Miguel Rivas, portrayed by Jon Huertas, was Jack's best friend and is Rebecca's second husband . Miguel was originally married to Shelly, before they divorced . While it originally seemed that his marriage to Rebecca happened shortly after Jack's death, in season 2 it is clarified that the two did not get together until at least ten years after Jack's passing . Miguel was initially disliked by Kevin, until Miguel told Kevin how much he is like his father . </P> <P> Miguel told Beth and Toby one day, when Kevin in rehab was meeting with "immediate family", that he felt like a real outsider compared to them and the Pearson family . When Kevin got out of rehab and stayed with Rebecca, Miguel was protective of her after she was hurt by Kevin's arrest, and by Kevin criticizing her in his rehab session with the family . Kevin asked Miguel if he was in love with Rebecca when Jack was alive; Miguel said that idea never occurred to him because everyone saw Jack and Rebecca as one entity rather than two separate individuals . But he stated that he loves Rebecca now, and is not going anywhere . </P> <P> Sophie, portrayed by Alexandra Breckenridge (modern day), Amanda Leighton (ages 15 - 17), and Sophia Coto (age 10), was Kate's childhood best friend and Kevin's childhood love and his ex-wife . Kevin moved to New York and reconciled with her, after his relationships with Olivia and Sloane ended . Their relationship initially survived the distance when Kevin was in his movie in L.A., but Kevin broke up with Sophie, admitting that he couldn't be the man that he wanted to be for her . When Kevin got sober, he tried making amends to Sophie; she just wanted to remember Kevin when they were younger . </P> <P> Tess Pearson, portrayed by Eris Baker, is Randall and Beth's older daughter . She was promoted to series regular in season two . She was named after the Tessana ceiling fan Randall was going to purchase when hearing about Beth going into labor . Although not noticed acting out previously, she hid in her uncle Kevin's car (claiming she hates it at her house), when he was pulled over for speeding and charged with DUI; she later claimed she was just unhappy that Deja, the foster child, had to go home . Tess admitted one day (on the 20th anniversary of Jack's death) she had tried to prevent social workers from calling, worried that recent changes meant Randall wanted a "new life"; Randall reassured her that he would always be devoted to her . Tess is shown in the future as an adult, working as a social worker, with an older Randall meeting her for dinner like they have done while Tess was younger . </P>
