Ferguson and Hyland appear to have remained close more than four years after Modern Family aired its series finale in April 2020. The pair each shared a photo of themselves and Mikita posing together at a dinner on Instagram on May 6 as they celebrated Hyland's new theater role.

"date night before our sweet @sarahhyland starts play practice for @littleshopnyc," Ferguson wrote in a caption to that post. "So proud!"
