Jesse Tyler Ferguson

Another actor who decided to shun a fellow big screen star for their partner and choose a lawyer instead was Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The comedy actor married lawyer Justin Mikita in 2013. Seven years into the marriage, the couple had a baby boy, Beckett Mercer Ferguson-Mikita, when he was born on July 7, 2020, at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. A rep for Jesse said to People magazine at the time: “The new parents are overjoyed and excited for this new journey as a family of three”.
