Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet, who played Cam, marries Lindsay Schweitzer, fans joke: 'Mitchell's going to be pissed'

If there’s one Modern Family character who still makes fans smile years after the show ended, it’s Cameron Tucker. But this time, it’s not Cam who’s making headlines—it’s the man behind him. Eric Stonestreet, the actor who played the larger-than-life dad, has just stepped into a brand-new role off-screen: husband. Stonestreet tied the knot with longtime partner Lindsay Schweitzer on September 8, and fans are absolutely loving the heartwarming and hilarious way the wedding news has unfolded.

Eric confirmed the big moment with a cheeky Instagram post a day later, sharing their wedding photos with the caption, “It's my birthday and guess what I got.” In the pictures, the 54-year-old actor looked sharp in a navy blazer and blue tie, while Lindsay stunned in a satin gown highlighted with a crystal belt. The ceremony took place in their Kansas City dream home, making the celebration even more personal.


Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who played Eric’s on-screen husband Mitchell, couldn’t resist poking fun in the comments, calling it his “favourite” second marriage. Ferguson’s husband, Justin Mikita, also chimed in with a warm congratulatory note.

The news soon spilled over to Reddit, where fans couldn’t help but mix admiration with laughter. Many praised Eric for his versatility, pointing out how drastically different he appears off-screen compared to the goofy Cam. Some noted that seeing him in a sharp, stoic look made them appreciate just how talented he is at transforming into the flamboyant Cam. One fan joked that while Cam only joked about such moments, Eric was living them in reality. Another quipped that “Mitchell’s going to be pissed,” a nod to the beloved on-screen couple.
