How Old Is Lily From Modern Family Now

You know that moment when you’re binge-watching Modern Family for the hundredth time and suddenly think, “Wait, how old is Lily now?” It’s like realizing your little cousin suddenly has a driver’s license. Well, grab your favorite snack, because we’re about to do some math that’s way more fun than Phil Dunphy’s “Parenting Magic.”

So, the actress who plays the adorable (and later, hilariously sarcastic) Lily Tucker-Pritchett is Aubrey Anderson-Emmons. She was born on June 6, 2007. If you’re reading this in 2024, that means our girl is 17 years old. Seventeen! I know, I know—it feels like yesterday she was making that epic face at Cam’s clown impression. Time flies when you’re busy stealing scenes with one-liners like, “I’m a tiny, Caucasian woman.”

Here’s the fun part: Aubrey was only 4 years old when she first joined the show in Season 3. They actually cast her after the original twin babies were replaced—yes, Lily had a whole secret twin identity crisis! But Aubrey grew up right before our eyes. By the finale in 2020, she was a cool 13-year-old, delivering deadpan burns like a seasoned pro. Now, at 17, she’s probably navigating high school drama that makes Mitchell and Cam’s parenting mishaps look like a walk in the park.

What’s she up to now? Well, she’s traded the Pritchett living room for… well, normal teenage stuff. No acting credits since the show ended, which honestly? Good for her. Let the girl enjoy her youth without a camera following her every eye roll! She pops up on Instagram occasionally, looking like a total young adult, and we’re all just trying to process that she’s older than Haley was in Season 1.

So the next time you rewatch and Lily sasses her dads, just remember: that little star is 17 and thriving. It’s a little bittersweet, but mostly it’s a reminder that growing up is a beautiful, messy, funny journey—just like the show itself. Here’s to Aubrey, for being our favorite tiny human with a giant attitude. Cheers to the past, the present, and all the sarcastic comebacks yet to come!
