Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Julie Bowen spend Thanksgiving in the ER with their sons

Modern family costars Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson are both grateful after separately heading to the emergency room with their respective sons on Thanksgiving.

Bowen, who played type-A mom Claire Dunphy on the hit sitcom, posted an Instagram photo Thursday evening of one of her boys silhouetted against the glow of the ER entrance. “It’s not a holiday without a trip to the ER,” she wrote in the caption. She added, “(He’s doing well, btw) HAPPY THANKSGIVING.”

Meanwhile, Ferguson, who played Claire’s younger brother Mitch Modern familyrevealed in his own Instagram post on Friday morning that he also spent the holidays in the hospital with his son.

Ferguson wrote sympathetically of his former on-screen sibling: “I’ve received a lot of parenting wisdom from @itsjuliebowen so it was comforting to see I wasn’t the only one with a child in the ER.” Ferguson added that his son is “doing well too,” thanked “the kind folks at Lennox Health” and said New York City “really has the best health care.”

Bowen shares three sons with ex-husband Scott Phillips, one born in April 2007 and twin boys born in May 2009, with whom she was pregnant during the filming of the film. Modern family pilot. Ferguson and his husband, Justin Mikita, share two children, Beckett and Sullivan, born in 2020 and 2022.

All Modern family cast members have remained close friends since the series ended in 2020. The adult actors recently reunited at the SAG Awards for an onstage reunion, but often spend time together outside of work. Ferguson even officiated the wedding of his TV niece Sarah Hyland The Bachelor franchise star Wells Adams (and both Bowen and Sofia Vergara were among the guests).

It’s probably too early for one Modern family reboot (though a Mitch and Cam spinoff was once considered), but joint holiday visits to the emergency room sound like a storyline straight out of the Emmy-winning series.

Let’s hope Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Phil (Ty Burrell) kept some turkey warm for their TV husbands.
