The Emmy-nominated series made actors like Sofia Vergara and Ty Burrell extremely popular over time! In fact, Modern Family got a lot of Emmy love as well for its unconventional family comedy. However, the time was up for this modern family to hang up their boots and say their final goodbye to their fans.

For 11 years, Sofia Vergara, Ed O’Neill, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson,Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez, and Aubrey Anderson Emmons played one big dysfunctional family on-screen, but, that family aspect didn’t end when the director yelled cut.

The cast of Modern Family assembled, virtually, to reminisce about the end of their long-running comedy with Jimmy Kimmel. While Ed O'Neill, Julie Bowen, Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Ty Burrell were together from their own homes on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the talk show host posed the hot question to the cast: "Ed, will you ever speak to any of these people again?" Kimmel asked.

The world has been watching Sarah Hyland, 29 grow up ever since she was a teen. The actress burst onto the scene at the age of 19 when she landed the role of Haley Dunphy on the ABC sitcom Modern Family, and we’ve been watching her mature and become the incredible woman she is today ever since! As the longtime TV series comes to an emotional close on April 8, we’re taking a look back at how much Sarah has transformed since we first saw her on the silver screen in that very first season.
