It’s a Dunphy family reunion.
“Modern Family” stars Ariel Winter and Nolan Gould, who played Alex and Luke Dunphy on 11 seasons of the ABC sitcom, are now roommates in Los Angeles.
“It’s funny because I spend more time out here [in L.A.] now and I rent a house with Nolan,” Winter told People magazine. She had previously been living in Nashville with her ex-boyfriend Luke Benward, according to the publication.
“People ask me about a ‘Modern Family’ reboot, but Nolan and I are real roommates now,” she added. “So it’s like we’re having our own little ‘Modern Family’ reboot, but it’s just the two of us living together. So I see him every day.”
Winter told People she and Gould have considered letting audiences into their current life. “I’m not gonna lie, when we sit there at night and we watch, like, ‘Temptation Island’ together, it’s pretty hilarious,” she said. “So we have thought about it. We’re just like, people would find this really funny.”

Winter, now 28, and Gould, 27, were 11 and 10 years old when they met on the first season of “Modern Family.” They played the younger two siblings of the central Dunphy family, which also included dad Phil (Ty Burrell), mom Claire (Julie Bowen) and older sis Haley (Sarah Hyland).
Created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan, “Modern Family” was hugely successful and was, for much of its run, the most-watched comedy on ABC. The show won 22 Emmys and earned 85 nominations.
There has yet to be a spinoff or reboot of “Modern Family” — only various commercials in which some of the cast members reprised their roles from the sitcom. Jesse Tyler Ferguson has said the producers were “brewing this idea” of a spinoff centered on him and Eric Stonestreet, but he wanted to pursue other projects and “it ended up not working out.”
