At the head is Jay Pritchett, the gruff, old-school patriarch who built a fortune in the closet industry. He resides with his vibrant, fiercely protective Colombian second wife, Gloria, her sophisticated, espresso-sipping son Manny, and their young child, Joe. Jay’s type-A, perfectionist daughter, Claire, heads the traditional nuclear branch alongside her husband, Phil Dunphy—a goofy real estate agent, amateur magician, and self-proclaimed "cool dad." Together they raise three wildly different children: the fashion-obsessed Haley (who later has twins with high school sweetheart Dylan), the hyper-intelligent Alex, and the beautifully dim-witted Luke. Meanwhile, Jay’s neurotically anxious lawyer son, Mitchell, shares a life with his larger-than-life husband, Cameron Tucker—a Missouri farm-boy turned dramatic theater teacher and part-time clown named Fizbo. Together they adopt their deadpan daughter, Lily, and later, a son named Rexford.
