Sofia Vergara will always be remembered for her iconic role as Gloria in Modern Family.

The Colombian American actress was a comfort character for many during the run of the series, which lasted from 2009 until 2020.

Now, Sofia’s talking about how difficult it was to go from spending so much time with her co-workers, to not seeing them at all.

While chatting on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Sofia reflected on how the Covid-19 pandemic hit them all hard.

The Coronavirus coincided with the show ending for good, meaning the group went from being together every day to not seeing each other at all.

“Can you believe that we finished Modern Family in 2020, and, you know, it was so emotional,” Sofia confessed.

“We have to be together a lot, we cannot just separate…And then two weeks later, the pandemic hit.”

“And so we didn’t see each other for almost four years until I did this thing in my house in November,” the star continued. 

Sofia recently hosted the entire Modern Family bunch at her home in L.A.

When Jimmy asked if the reunion was emotional, Sofia nodded and asserted, “it was weird”.

“It was crazy because we were together 11 years, 5 days a week…It was hard.” 

However, for anyone worried that the cast don’t keep in touch as much anymore, Sofia put all concerns to bed.

The actress assured fans that they all communicate frequently through groupchats!

“You know, we’re always on chats. The only one that is not really good, because he’s very old, is Ed O’Neill,” Sofia joked of her husband Jay on the show. 

Of course, Jimmy had to ask if there might be a Modern Family reboot on the cards…but Sofia sadly shut the idea down.

“No, it’s only been four years…we need a little more time.”

Still, she said she’d be up for a holiday special. We’ll take it!
