Jesse Tyler Ferguson experienced two weddings while starring in “Modern Family”. His character Mitchell Pritchett married his long-time partner Cam Tucker in the fifth season’s two-part finale that aired in 2014. However, this wasn’t his first time down the aisle, as Ferguson had married his longtime beau, entertainment lawyer Justin Mikita, in real-life the year before. Although Cam and Mitchell both proposed to each other on the sitcom, Ferguson took the lead off-screen, revealing he popped the question.
Ferguson and Mikita have been going strong since their wedding in July 2013. And, after their first anniversary together, Ferguson expressed their desire to start a family. “We don’t have any sort of timeline right now. When you have to look for alternate means, there’s a little more planning that has to go into that, so who knows. When we start the process it might still be a three-year ordeal. We’ll see what happens!” he told People.

The couple ended up waiting six years to bring home their first child, son Beckett Mercer Ferguson-Mikita, who was born in July 2020, less than two months after the “Modern Family” series finale. They welcomed Beckett via surrogate and two years later, in November 2022, they announced that they’d expanded their family again, welcoming his little brother Sullivan Louis Ferguson-Mikita. They were thrilled that the same surrogate could carry both their boys. “We are so grateful for her and her family. We became friends with her and her husband,” Ferguson told People.
