9. Haley
Haley Dunphy is the first-born of Claire and Phil. She is your stereotypical teenager, obsessed with her reputation, looks, and popularity. Haley was conceived before her parents got married, so they eloped and told everyone that the pregnancy was a surprise. It was explained that Haley was very close with her mother when she was younger, but they grew apart once she hit adolescence.

She often supports Manny when Jay tries to tell him to be less sensitive or hide his Colombian background.
7. Luke
The youngest child of Claire and Phil, is Luke Dunphy, who is usually off doing his own thing. At times, he can be a trouble maker, once shooting his sister with a toy gun and getting into a fight with Manny at school. Like most children, Luke is very innocent and does not always understand the repercussions of his actions. He is also thought to be a bit vacuous, because of many questionable actions. Some of these actions that he is known for are getting his head stuck in the banister and jumping on the trampoline wearing only underwear and a box on his head.

At most times he is the exact opposite of Cameron which usually causes disagreements. Cameron acts as a counterbalance to Mitchell’s uptight, worrying ways. Because of his mild-mannered, uptight nature, he is sometimes embarrassed by Cameron’s flamboyance. Mitchell and his older sister Claire are a little competitive and his father Jay isn’t completely comfortable with the fact that he’s gay, which most likely contributed to him becoming a momma’s boy. He was initially scared to let his family meet Lily, although she was welcomed with open arms.

Jay Pritchett, is the head of the family and father of Claire and Mitchell. He is married to Gloria, a stepfather to Manny, and recently a new father to surprise Fulgencio “Joseph” Pritchett. He is much older than Gloria and is often mistaken for her father. Most of the time Jay manages to tolerate Manny’s sensitivity and Gloria’s attitude. Although he usually acts tough, he has a huge soft spot, and values all of his extended family members. He has come to learn a lot in the past few years such as accepting his son as being gay, and becoming closer with Phil who is always trying to get his attention. He has also really worked on being a better father to Mitch and Claire in his older years.
3. Claire

She is often exhausted from the stress created by her family, but is still a loving super mom. When it comes to her kids she has difficulty controlling Haley’s hormones, Alex’s manipulative nature, and Luke’s lack of common sense. Claire is always the family planner, and usually unites the entire group.
2. Phil
Phil Dunphy is Claire’s husband of 16 years who sees himself as the “cool dad.” He dotes on his wife Claire and constantly tries to find ways to bond with his three kids, even sometimes going to the extreme. He is seen as very competitive, but he also has a very child-like attitude. He uses a parenting method that he calls “peerenting”, which is a combination of talking like a peer, but acting like a parent. He is a real estate agent who is very confident in his work, once saying “I could sell a fur coat to an Eskimo.” In college he was a cheerleader. He was once auto-tuned on YouTube, the video being called “Public Access Pervert.”
