Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, best known for playing Lily Tucker-Pritchett on *Modern Family*, has come out as bisexual in a playful and heartfelt social media post during Pride Month, and fans are cheering her on.
The 18-year-old actress shared a lighthearted TikTok where she lip-syncs to a scene from *Modern Family*, quoting her own character as she dramatically says, “No, I’m not, I’m gay, I’m gay!” The clip is paired with a caption that clears things up: “People keep joking so much about me being gay when I literally am (I’m bi).” She topped it off with a cheerful message: “Happy Pride Month to all and to all a goodnight hehehe.”
The video quickly racked up supportive comments from fans:
“You’re a queen, keep being you.”
“Omg this is literally the best coming out ever.”
“Okay, slayyyy, have a great pride girl!”
Anderson-Emmons joined Modern Family at just four years old and became the youngest actor to win a Screen Actors Guild Award. As Lily, she portrayed the adopted daughter of Mitchell and Cameron, a gay couple whose wedding was a groundbreaking moment for LGBTQ+ representation on TV.
Since the show ended in 2020, Anderson-Emmons has stepped into new creative territory. She starred in the short film Tailwinds alongside her mom, comedian Amy Anderson, and has hinted at launching her music career with a teasing “New music coming soon!” update.
In another candid TikTok, she reflected on growing up in the spotlight, admitting that signing onto a major show at four came with a unique set of challenges. “You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into at four years old,” she shared. While she clarified her experience on set was positive, the constant public feedback made things difficult, especially when some critics unfairly labeled her a “bad actor.”
Still, Aubrey remains resilient, creative, and unapologetically herself, and now, proudly out.
