Lily Tucker-Pritchett is one character Modern Family fans got to watch grow up in front of the camera. For 11 seasons, fans saw her transform from an adorable infant to an independent teenager. Like the other kids on the show, Lily went through a ton of changes over the years as she grew and learned who she was.
According to the show’s Fandom page, Lily’s character was portrayed by twins, Ella and Jaden Hiller, for the first two seasons. But from season three onward, Lily was portrayed by Aubrey Anderson-Emmons. From adorable moments with her dads to complicated moments that didn’t always make the most sense for her character, Lily was one of the most endearing characters on the sitcom.
Updated on September 2nd, 2021, by Lynn Gibbs: Modern Family’s Lily Tucker-Pritchett went from being the adorable baby that Cameron dressed up in costume to a spunky teenager ready for adventure. Similar to her cousins, Lily grew up in front of viewers and went through the ups and downs of young adulthood. From school sleepovers to first dates, Lily’s transformative years were relatable for viewers. Unlike Alex and Haley, Lily went from being an outgoing kid who was close to her extended family members to a shy teenager who stayed to herself. Nevertheless, it’s been rewarding for fans to watch Lily transform.
10 Season 1: Welcome To The Family!
In the first season of Modern Family, Lily was just a baby. Cam and Mitch had just adopted her from Vietnam and were nervous to introduce her to Mitchell’s family in the first episode.
As diehard fans know now, the Pritchett clan can be judgmental, and Mitch wasn’t ready for rude comments from his dad, Jay. However, the family welcomed Lily with open arms and was excited to watch her grow.
9 Season 2: A Close Bond With Gloria
In the second season, Lily was now walking and interacting with the family. Gloria took an especial liking to Lily because she always wanted to have a little girl. With Lily, Gloria could finally spoil a little girl and treat her like she was her own.
In ‘Someone To Watch Over Lily,’ Mitch and Cam were deciding on who to choose as a legal guardian for Lily. And after seeing her connection to Gloria, they chose Jay and Gloria to be her guardians. Oddly enough, Gloria and Lily’s connection drifted as time went on and became one of Modern Family‘s dropped storylines, which didn’t make too much sense after seeing what their bond used to be.
8 Season 3: The Star Of The Show
The third season was the first season that Lily’s personality really started to shine. Fans of Lily’s don’t want to skip these episodes because it was a time where she was a little older and was able to joke and talk with her family members.
In this season, Lily was a ray of sunshine running around Disneyland and learning how to be #FarmStrong while in Wyoming. At this stage in the series, her cousins loved watching over her and she was fun to have around because she was learning from her family members.
7 Season 4: Sassy & Jealous
In the fourth season, Lily’s sassy side began to shine. With sarcastic drama kings as dads, Lily learned a thing or two from Mitch and Cam. She shifted from favoring Cam to favoring Mitchell, which deeply upset Cam. He had an amazing bond with Lily and he wasn’t ready for her to grow up.
Things did begin to shift for Lily in this season, however, because she was no longer the youngest in the family. Gloria and Jay had little Joe, which made Lily a little jealous of all the attention he was getting.
6 Season 5: Small But Mighty
Season five was a big one for Lily. She traveled to Australia with her family, her dads got married, and she had her first crush! This was also the season where fans saw a bond form between Lily and Alex. In ‘Farm Strong,’ Alex babysat Lily and tried to spark an interest in literature. As an ensemble cast, Alex wasn’t the main character but having someone else in the family who enjoyed school would have been nice for them.
Lily wasn’t too interested, but as time went on, Mitch and Cam found out that Lily was brilliant enough to skip a grade. So, it looked like Alex had a bigger impact on Lily than she realized during this time.
5 Season 6: Finding Her Individuality
Season six was all about Lily finding her individuality. In ‘Three Turkeys,’ Lily got into an argument with her dads over what was suitable to wear for the holiday. She opted for multiple layers with a dress on top, which her dads loathed. But Lily didn’t care. Her individuality made her one of the most likable characters.
In ‘The Big Guns,’ Cam tried getting Lily interested in becoming a clown and sent her to clown school. Lily hated being a clown but did it because it made Cam happy. Eventually, she came clean to Mitch that she thought clowns were “weird” and didn’t want to go to clown school anymore. It was one of the first times fans saw Lily stand up for herself.
4 Season 7: Lily Found Her Voice & Her Confidence
In the seventh season, Lily was now making friends at school and playing soccer. She bonded with Phil in ‘She Crazy’ when he started looking after ducks and she joined a Vietnamese dance class to meet other girls with the same heritage.
By spending more time with her family members and other girls her age, Lily’s personality really started to shine. She created a better sense of chemistry with those around her. Her protective side, especially, came out when her Aunt Pam came to stay with them for a little while. Although she loved Pam, she found her dramatics tiring.
3 Season 8: Brave & Determined
In the blink of an eye, Lily was a pre-teen in season eight. She stood up for her dads in ‘A Stereotypical Day’ when a classmate of hers called her parents weird. She also tried protecting what was hers when Cameron allowed one of his student-athletes to live in their home without talking it over with her, which was a toxic move on Cam’s part.
She reminded her dads that she had a voice and should have a say in the household. For being so young, she was brave and determined in the eighth season.
2 Season 9: Those Dreaded Teenaged Years
In the ninth season, Lily had become a full-blown teenager. She was no longer attached to her dads’ hips and doing photoshoots with Cam. She now wanted to hang out with her friends, be alone in her room, or listen to music on her own.
In ‘Daddy Issues,’ Lily was going through puberty and was ready for her first bra but didn’t know how to talk about it with her dads. She found these topics of discussion difficult because they themselves didn’t know how to approach them. She ended up stealing a bra and getting in an argument at school, which was a red flag for Mitch and Cam. They realized they needed to step their game up to keep up with their growing daughter, which is when the storylines of Lily’s rebellious stage ended.
1 Seasons 10 & 11: Transforming Into A Young Adult
In the final seasons of Modern Family, Lily had come into her own. She was now in high school, going on dates, had some sassy quotes, and had a good head on her shoulders. Cam and Mitch were still learning about their ever-changing teenager and tried keeping up with her interests.
The family grew closer when Cam took a job in Missouri and planned on transporting the family. What’s better is that Cam and Mitch adopted a sibling for Lily, a baby boy named Rexford. It was the perfect ending for this favorite family.
