Like his Modern Family character Mitchell Pritchett, actorJesse Tyler Ferguson is devoted to his family.
On the December 29 episode of his Sony Music Entertainment podcast, Dinner's On Me, Ferguson noted that he and his husband, Justin Mikita's oldest child, Beckett Mercer, "started kindergarten" during the summer of 2025. He explained that he wasn't initially involved with his son's kindergarten drop-off because he was "doing Shakespeare in the Park [in New York] this summer." He said he had an emotional response the first time he dropped off Beckett at his kindergarten class.
"I wasn't prepared for him to open up the door and just walk out, and like walk to class by himself. And seeing his little body walk away with this huge backpack on his back, I started crying. It was too much for me ... It killed me," said the actor on his podcast.
