Eric Stonestreet and Lindsay Schweitzer: A Modern Love Story Unveiled
Eric Stonestreet Trades in "Layover" for Wedding Bells - Ties the Knot with Longtime Love Lindsay Schweitzer!
It's a case of real life mirroring TV life as Eric Stonestreet, 54, has officially become a married man - both on and off the small screen. The Modern Family alum tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, pediatric nurse Lindsay Schweitzer, in a romantic ceremony that had all the makings of a fairytale.
The wedding photos shared by Stonestreet on Instagram are giving us major "I do" feels! In a caption that read, "It's my birthday and guess what I got," the actor gave us a sneak peek into his special day. And let's just say it was a celebration to remember!
Stonestreet looked dashing in a fitted navy blazer with a lighter blue tie, while his stunning bride rocked a satin slip-styled gown with crystal belt detailing. The couple's love story began seven years ago at a charity event, and it's safe to say they've been going strong ever since.
The lovebirds first confirmed their romance in 2017, with Stonestreet gushing about his partner on the Ellen DeGeneres show. "She calms me - she calms my nerves," he confessed. "I'm a very high-strung person." We can imagine!
Fast forward to this year, and it's clear that Stonestreet has finally found his perfect match. The couple shared their engagement news in 2021, with Stonestreet joking about the proposal on social media: "She said, 'She'd have her people call my people.'"
But what we love most about this union is the outpouring of support from their celebrity pals! Modern Family co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson commented on Stonestreet's post, saying, "Of all second marriages, this one is my favorite! I love you both!" His real-life husband, Justin Mikita, chimed in with a simple yet heartfelt: "Congrats!"
Other celebs who couldn't contain their excitement included Michael Buble (who shared a series of red heart emojis), and Octavia Spencer, who wrote: "Congratulations! So happy for you both."
Now, it's worth noting that Stonestreet has been quite open about his struggles with weight. In May, he revealed that he had lost 45 pounds using the weight-loss medication Mounjaro - which he shared in a joint Instagram post with the brand.
The actor confessed to People that he was diagnosed with diabetes in 2009, and initially felt ashamed about it. "I was embarrassed," he said. "I didn't want to tell anybody." But after sharing his story, Stonestreet hopes to inspire others to talk to their doctors about getting the treatment they need.
And now, as he begins this new chapter with Schweitzer, we can't help but feel a sense of joy and happiness for this lovely couple. After all, it's clear that love is in the air - both on and off the screen!
