Jesse Tyler Ferguson kicked off Father’s Day week by flooding his feed with a heartwarming tribute to his husband, Justin Mikita. On June 18, the Modern Family star turned his Instagram page into a celebration of dad life, captioning one carousel, “Happy Father’s Day to all the dads but a special one to @justinmikita. We love you so much dada!”
Sweet Family Moments
The series of images shows Mikita beaming as he cuddles their sons on a cozy couch, with Jesse on hand capturing every candid smile. In one shot Justin lifts their little one in the air, while in another he cradles a sleepy toddler in his arms. The natural light and laid-back home setting make it clear these are truly unfiltered family snapshots.
In a related throwback share, Jesse previously posted a playful photo simply captioned “Dads Dading.” That post, now resurfaced by fans, shows Justin juggling both his boys—proof that every day is Father’s Day when you’re a hands-on dad.

Not long ago, Jesse also documented one of Justin’s special outings: a surprise trip to Disneyland Paris. In that feed post, he wrote, “went to paris on my day off from Here We Are to take the boys to @disneylandparis. The kids had a blast!” Capturing Justin pushing a stroller and leading an excited trail of toddlers, the image underscored Mikita’s devotion from coast to coast.

From Screen To Real Life
Beyond Instagram, Jesse Tyler Ferguson has built a reputation on-screen and off. According to public records, he married litigation attorney Justin Mikita in July 2013, and the pair have since welcomed two young children via surrogacy. Ferguson, born October 22, 1975, earned an Emmy nod in 2011 for his role as Mitchell Pritchett on ABC’s Modern Family, and he’s remained vocal about LGBTQ+ rights and family inclusion ever since.
The actor’s own podcast, Dinner’s On Me, has featured industry friends—Modern Family co-stars among them—dining on topics from career milestones to personal growth. Yet in these Father’s Day posts, the focus stays firmly on the home front: where shared laughter, bedtime stories and backyard games make for the most memorable headlines.
Fans and friends flooded the comments with love: one wrote, “You’ve got the best dad in the world!” while another praised Jesse’s candid approach to parenthood. The post garnered hundreds of thousands of likes within hours, proving that family authenticity always wins hearts online.
Moving from a globetrotting set schedule to a quiet living room has clearly given Ferguson and Mikita room to build a life full of milestone moments. From Disney adventures in Europe to birthday celebrations around the dining table, these Father’s Day acknowledgments are just the latest chapter in a modern parenthood story.
As social media continues to blur the line between public persona and private life, Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s heartfelt shout-out serves as a reminder that—even for high-profile celebrities—the best role of all can be “dad.”
This Father’s Day salute cements a family tradition both simple and powerful: celebrate the everyday heroics of parenthood with photos, praise and plenty of love.
