Lily Tucker-Pritchett was born in Vietnam on January 7, 2008. She is the adopted Vietnamese daughter of the main character Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker and also the older adoptive sister of Rexford Jason Tucker-Pritchett in Modern Family.
ABC's family sitcom Modern Family was a delightful watch. Based comically on the 'IRL' situations of actual modern families, the show has never failed to leave us with tummy aches with all the laughter. Watching Claire and Phil bring up their three kids who were completely different from each other, to Jay and Gloria tackling their own issues along with Joe and Manny, the show has been an immensely fun ride.
However, the third dysfunctional yet fully functional family of Cameron Tucker and Mitchell Pritchett has taken the show to many other levels. Watching the two take care of and bring up their baby Lily on the show had its own fun at times.
