August 2024 · 5 minute read

In April 2020, the series finale of Modern Family aired, and the close cast went their separate ways. Many still keep in touch. And Aubrey Anderson-Emmons and Jesse Tyler Ferguson's bond is as strong as ever before. The young actress has a different life now that includes posting on TikTok, sharing sponsored posts on Instagram, and dating music-aficionado Phoenix Reed.

Modern Family fans are absolutely over the moon that the actress who played Lily Tucker-Pritchett has found love. From visiting her Instagram account, it's clear that Aubrey Anderson-Emmons is loving life. She spent so many years starring on a hit show and seems to be enjoying taking some time for herself. And that includes enjoying time with her boyfriend. Who is Aubrey Anderson-Emmons's partner Phoenix Reed? What can fans find out about their relationship?

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons Has Been Dating Phoenix Reed Since At Least 2022

Many Modern Family cast members have fallen in love or committed to a partner in the years after the series finale aired. Sarah Hyland married Wells Adams in the summer of 2022. Ariel Winter began a relationship with Luke Benward in 2019 that seems to be really serious now. And Aubrey Anderson-Emmons has love in her life as well.

In January 2022, Kiss.ie reported that Aubrey Anderson-Emmons was dating Phoenix Reed. The actress shared a photo of her and Reed grinning at each other on Instagram. She wrote in the caption, "Favorite boy."

While it's unclear when this relationship actually began, it seems that they have been a couple since at least the beginning of 2022.

Even though the Modern Family star hasn't acted since the emotional sitcom finale aired in 2020, she seems to love posting on Instagram. And she doesn't go many days without posting a new photo for her fans.

And Phoenix Reed is a staple on Aubrey Anderson-Emmons's Instagram. On November 1st, 2022, the couple posted photos from Halloween, and it was fun to see their cool costumes. In early October 2022, she posted some photos of the two of them hanging out and captioned them "weekend."

On February 14th 2023, Reed posted a photo with Anderson-Emmons and wrote, "Happy Valentine's Day to my soulmate." The previous summer, he shared a photo of them kissing and wrote "I love you" in the caption. And he also shared that they went to Disneyland in September 2022.

Even though Anderson-Emmons and Reed are keeping their romance private, they aren't shy about how much they love each other. Reed's Instagram bio includes Anderson-Emmons's name and a heart emoji next to it.

This seems to be the first relationship that the actress has been in. Or, at the very least, it's the only time that she has publicly shared that she has a boyfriend. However, since she is only 16 years old and began acting on Modern Family when she was just a kid, it seems likely that this is the first time that she has been in love.

Modern Family fans love seeing the actress so happy. And everyone is definitely gushing over how old Anderson-Emmons seems, at least when compared to her early days on Modern Family.

Yahoo! reported that when Jesse Tyler Ferguson shared that he was hanging out with Anderson-Emmons in 2022, Sarah Hyland wrote on the Instagram post, "I CAN NOT. @aubreyandersonemmons IS A FULL ON GROWN UP AND I CAN'T HANDLE IT!!"

Perhaps so little is known about the couple because Anderson-Emmons isn't acting right now. If she was talking to the press a lot to promote a new TV show or movie, she might be asked about Reed. But unless she begins to act again, she and her boyfriend might continue to stay quiet.

It's possible that the actress has been contacted for interviews in the time since the end of Modern Family. Everyone wants to know how she feels about the popular sitcom and what her schedule looks like now that she's no longer playing Lily.

But while she hasn't been talking to the media, she has been posting a lot online. Anderson-Emmons and her mother Amy Anderson started a YouTube channel called FoodMania.

While they haven't posted recently, they shared a few videos and discussed the food that they were eating. In one video, they talked about the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles. In another, they talked about candy that a fan living in Finland wanted them to try.

Who Is Aubrey Anderson-Emmons's Boyfriend Phoenix Reed?

Phoenix Reed is a musician who is part of the band Skinless Bastards. They have just over 500 Instagram followers and describe themselves as a "Funk Rock N' Roll Band" in their Instagram bio. There aren't many details about them since they are still in high school.

The band members are still young and don't seem to have a massive following just yet. They appear to be having fun, though. And they play gigs around Los Angeles, which they always announce on their Instagram account.

Since Anderson-Emmons and Reed haven't talked about their relationship besides sharing some Instagram pictures, no one knows how they met each other. It's definitely possible that they go to the same high school.

In August 2021, the actress announced on Instagram that she was going to start attending school instead of being tutored on set. She shared the news in a sponsored post for Amazon Teen and wrote in the caption, "After years of studio school on set, this fall I am going to a real high school and I can’t wait!"

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons and Phoenix Reed's relationship is a sweet example of young love. She often calls him "my favorite" and he has said that he loves her many times on social media.

Every time they post photos of each other on Instagram, their fans go wild and comment about how adorable they are. It's really great seeing the actress so thrilled about her relationship.
