They have three children: Haley, a stereotypically ditzy teenaged girl Alex, an intelligent and nerdy middle child and Luke, the offbeat only son. She is married to Phil Dunphy, a realtor and a self-professed 'cool dad', who is an amateur magician, as well. Jay's daughter Claire was a homemaker who later returned to the business world, working as the chief executive of her father's business, Pritchett's Closets and Blinds. Jay's ex-wife DeDe and Gloria's ex-husband Javier both make occasional appearances in the show. Patriarch Jay remarried a much younger woman, Gloria Delgado Pritchett (née Ramirez), a passionate Colombian immigrant with whom he has a young son, Fulgencio Joseph 'Joe' Pritchett, and a son from Gloria's previous marriage, Manuel 'Manny' Delgado. Modern Family revolves around three different types of families ( nuclear, blended, and same-sex) living in the Los Angeles area, who are interrelated through Jay Pritchett and his children, daughter Claire and son Mitchell.
