ABCThey're all grown up!
Modern Family is in its seventh season (and will go on for an eighth), and while the Pritchett and Dunphy families have made us laugh through all the years, they've also left us in disbelief. We're not talking about jaw-dropping plotlines; we're referring to how the show's kids have aged!
Let's just say they're not kids anymore.
Lily Tucker-Pritchett, Cam and Mitchell's adopted daughter, entered the show as a baby played by twins Jaden Hiller and Ella Hiller, but a few years later Modern Family needed a more grown up girl to play the part. Enter Aubrey Anderson-Emmons.
Lover of love Manny Delgado has grown up quite a bit, too. Rico Rodriguez has played Manny since day one, and while he's always been decades wiser than anyone of his relatives (or his friends), he's still just a kid. But look at how much his baby face has changed in seven years!
One of the biggest changes, however, might be with Ariel Winter, who plays genius Alex Dunphy. Both on screen and off, Winter has grown up right before our very eyes. Her relationship with her longtime boyfriend is more serious than ever, and she's been incredibly vocal about body image ever since getting a breast reduction. Alex might be hiding behind the books on Modern Family, but her real life counterpart not only looks older, she's also paving the way for other young women in Hollywood.
Sarah Hyland (Haley Dunphy) has endured health issues throughout filming of the show, but that hasn't stopped her from being funny or showing up. In addition to overcoming her kidney problems, Hyland also has survived puberty in front of the camera, and let's just say she somehow managed to skip the awkward phase. She chopped her locks, dyed her hair and nailed down her mature-yet-young look.
Real-life genius Nolan Gould doesn't always let his brains shine through his character, Luke Dunphy, but he did allow the cameras to catch his transition from young boy to handsome young man. Gone is the out-of-control curly hair and in is a perfectly coiffed hairdo. His adorable baby fat has also gone away, solidifying his status as a grown-up teen.
