Handy shippers deserved better

6 months ago

With the rumours of a reunion circulating, despite having ended only a few years ago, there’s no denying that Modern Family is usually regarded as one of the best sitcoms ever. And, if you’re like me, you’ve probably laughed, cried, and even yelled at your TV while watching the lovable and sometimes chaotic families of this show. One of the best parts about it is the variety of relationships it showcases.

From young love to timeless romance, the show has it all. So, here’s the top 10 Modern Family couples ranked, based on their chemistry, impact, and overall appeal.

10. Alex and Arvin

via ABC

Alex, the brainy and ambitious Dunphy daughter, found an unlikely connection with Arvin, the brilliant and charming scientist. Their relationship showcased the power of intellectual chemistry, but let’s be real – Arvin was a total misfire. What were the writers thinking with that one?

9. Luke and Janice

via ABC

While their relationship wasn’t the most prominent, it definitely left an impression – for better or worse. Their dynamic was entertaining, but the timeline was all over the place. First Janice, then some random Tinder date, and back to Janice? It was confusing, to say the least.

8. Hayley and Rainer

via ABC

Their glamorous romance had its highs and lows, but let’s face it – it was hard to warm up to them. Every episode together felt like a breakup waiting to happen, yet Rainer always ended up looking like the better catch. Something just didn’t click.

7. Manny and Sherry

via ABC

Manny and Sherry were the odd couple that had us all intrigued. I mean, who would’ve thought that Manny’s poetic soul would clash with Sherry’s spontaneous nature? But their relationship felt more like a sideshow than a main event, especially with that pesky love triangle plot thrown into the mix.

6. Alex and Bill

via ABC

Alex’s intellect found a match in Bill’s appreciation for her intelligence and drive. They showed us that brains and love can coexist. Plus, who didn’t love seeing Alex finally meet someone who truly understood her? It was all until Bill’s ridiculous breakup reason ruined it all.

5. Haley and Andy

via ABC

Ah, Haley and Andy – the sweethearts we all shipped so hard. Andy’s resemblance to Phil was downright charming, and he brought out a more mature side of Haley, making their eventual breakup all the more disappointing. However, it’s hard to overlook the fact that Andy struggled with the idea of doing long distance with Haley, despite being capable of it for Beth.

4. Haley and Dylan

via ABC

Despite Andy seeming like the better fit at times, it was Dylan who ultimately won Haley’s heart. Their journey from high school sweethearts to young parents was a wild ride, but it all felt worth it in the end. Dylan’s growth and maturity over the years, including his dedication to becoming a better person for Haley, made their eventual reunion all the more satisfying.

3. Cam and Mitchell

via ABC

Cam and Mitchell’s portrayal of a same-sex couple was authentic and heartwarming, showcasing the realities of adoption and parenthood. They balanced each other perfectly, but let’s not forget the sacrifices on both sides. Cam’s commitment to family and Mitchell’s willingness to compromise for love made them a dynamic and relatable pair, setting a new standard for representation on television.

2. Phil and Claire

via ABC

Phil and Claire are the heart and soul of the Dunphy family, landing them at number two. Their opposites-attract dynamic provided countless laughs and touching moments. But let’s be honest – Phil’s lack of seriousness often left Claire holding the bag. Despite their differences, their unwavering love and support for each other, along with their shared values of family and humour, made them a rock-solid foundation for the show’s ensemble cast.

1. Jay and Gloria

via ABC

Despite their significant age difference and cultural disparities, their love story brought heart and humour to the show. Their relationship worked because it suited their needs. Jay’s gruff yet lovable demeanour complemented Gloria’s fiery and passionate personality perfectly. Whilst their relationship may have raised eyebrows, their genuine love and affection for each other, along with their shared devotion to family, made them the undeniable heart of the show.
