The kids are all grown up!
Over the weekend, I saw something that absolutely warmed my heart — in her Father's Day tribute post, Sarah Hyland included a shoutout to her Modern Family onscreen dad, Ty Burrell.
Naturally, it made me rewatch the Modern Family pilot, and it's wild to see how much time has passed. So here's a look at the cast in the pilot (or their very first episode) vs. the series finale vs. IRL now:
