It takes a village! Jesse Tyler Ferguson gets by with a little help from his friends — and leans on one former Modern Family costar for help while raising his and husband Justin Mikita‘s two sons.“Julie Bowen [is] on speed dial for me,” Ferguson, 47, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, May 23, while promoting his new “Dinner’s On Me” podcast. “I ask her about so many parenting tips.”Bowen, 53, played Claire Dunphy on Modern Family from 2009 to 2020, when it ended after 11 seasons.
