On "Modern Family," Cameron and Mitchell adopted Lily from Vietnam. Lily Tucker-Pritchett is the adopted daughter of Cameron Tucker and Mitchell Pritchett, whose family storyline follows their experiences as same-sex parents.
Lily is introduced in the pilot episode, when Cameron and Mitchell return home from Vietnam with their new baby. Her arrival immediately becomes part of the show’s central family dynamic: Mitchell is anxious and highly cautious, while Cameron is more openly enthusiastic and theatrical. Their parenting styles often create comedy, but the series also treats Lily’s adoption as an important part of the family’s identity.
A common mix-up is confusing Lily’s birthplace with the place where she grows up. She is Vietnamese-born, but she is raised mainly in Los Angeles by Cameron and Mitchell. The character was initially played by twins Ella and Jaden Hiller, who were later replaced by Aubrey Anderson-Emmons beginning in the third season.
Lily’s full name is Lily Tucker-Pritchett, combining her adoptive fathers’ family names.
