Ariel Winter Is Roommates With Modern Family Costar Nolan Gould After Breakup

Turns out you can very much go home again. 

And though Ariel Winter decamped to Nashville in 2020, she still wanted a crash pad for return trips to her home town of Los Angeles. So, she decided to keep it in the family. 

Some six years after she and Nolan Gould finished their onscreen run as two of Modern Family's Dunphy siblings, they're sharing a space IRL

"It's funny because I spend more time out here now and I rent a house with Nolan," Winter recently revealed to People. "People ask me about a Modern Family reboot, but Nolan and I are real roommates now."

As the 28-year-old sees it, "It's like we're having our own little Modern Family reboot, but it's just the two of us living together. So I see him every day."

10/10, would watch that show.

And it sounds like Winter—who recently confirmed her split from boyfriend Luke Benward—would be totally down with having a new bombshell series enter the proverbial reality TV villa. 

"I'm not gonna lie, when we sit there at night and we watch, like, Temptation Island together, it's pretty hilarious," she acknowledged. "So we have thought about [sharing] it. We're just like, 'People would find this really funny.''

And while we're asking for things, they're not the only roommate pairing that would have us fully seated. 

Because we'd drink up every second of Brad Pitt and Jason Priestley splitting cheap beers and ramen noodles during their early days in Hollywood.

And while Michelle Williams' deft performance in 2011's Blue Valentine earned her an Oscar nod, we'd love the footage of her prepping for the role by shacking up with costar Ryan Gosling

"We shot the first part when they're young and in love and everything's going really well," Williams explained on a May 2025 episode of the Armchair Expert podcast. Then, they committed to sharing a space every day during "office hours," the actress noted, "like nine to five." 

During that time, "We did these improvisations during the day, honestly, to figure out ways to annoy each other," Williams shared. "And to destroy this thing that we had made." 

In the process, they built a winning performance. Though they'd hardly be the first roomies to discover each other's annoying quirks. We're unlocking the truth about the stars who have shared a crash pad.

Though Winter had been living with longterm boyfriend Luke Benward in Nashville before their split, she also keeps a place in Los Angeles.

"It's funny because I spend more time out here now and I rent a house with Nolan," she revealed to People in May 2026. "People ask me about a Modern Family reboot, but Nolan and I are real roommates now.”

Added the actress, "It's like we're having our own little Modern Family reboot, but it's just the two of us living together. So I see him every day."

"[Co-creator] Ian Brennan said, 'I know this guy Glen Powell, who's roommates with Chord Overstreet, and I've been out with him and I've seen him do sort of improv stuff. I think he would be great,'" Murphy told E! News. "That led to me meeting Glen, and as soon as he read it you were like, 'Oh, my god. Where have you been all my life?'"
