‘We’re hunky in our own way’: Modern Family’s Mitch and Cam on their hilarious and groundbreaking love

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet proved that opposites really do attract in the smash hit sitcom. But beyond the bickering and and pranks, there was a romance so special that it changed many fans’ lives

Opposites attract. And spend most of their time arguing. But the love between Cameron and Mitchell Tucker-Pritchett remained strong throughout the 11 years of Modern Family.

The two met at a games night when Mitch rolled his eyes every time Cam “got a little boisterous”. They married in two of the most romantic and near-disastrous TV episodes in living memory and raised two adopted children, Lily and Rexford. Being a groundbreaking gay TV couple came at a price: critics wanted more PDAs and less fighting, but Cam and Mitch’s love shone bright.
