Actress Ariel Winter has moved into a residence with her former "Modern Family" co-star Nolan Gould in Los Angeles [1].
The move marks a significant transition for Winter, who is relocating her life back to California after a period of living in Nashville, Tennessee [1], [2]. This arrangement underscores the enduring personal bonds formed between the cast members during their time on the long-running sitcom.
Winter's decision to move in with Gould follows her separation from former boyfriend Luke Benward [1]. The split between Winter and Benward occurred in 2025 [1], [3].
Winter said Gould is a close friend and a "brother-like" figure [1], [3]. The two actors played siblings on the television series, and their real-life living arrangement mirrors the familial dynamic they portrayed on screen for several seasons.
According to reports published on May 19, 2026 [1], the relocation from Tennessee to California allows Winter to be closer to her professional network and support system in the entertainment capital [1], [2]. The transition comes as she navigates her post-relationship life in a new city.
While the move has sparked public interest due to their shared history on "Modern Family," the arrangement is described as a platonic friendship between two longtime colleagues [1], [3].
