‘Modern Family’ star Eric Stonestreet engaged to Lindsay Schweitzer
Eric Stonestreet popped the question.
The “Modern Family” star is engaged to longtime girlfriend Lindsay Schweitzer, he announced on social media.
Stonestreet posted a series of photos of him and Schweitzer on Sunday posing together with her diamond ring on display and joked in the caption, “She said, ‘She’d have her people call my people.’”
“The Secret Life of Pets” star showed off his hilarious emotions in the carousel while Schweitzer posed charismatically in each one.
Stonestreet’s A-list pals immediately congratulated him in the comments section.
“YAY!!! We are so happy for you,” Gwyneth Paltrow wrote.
“Congrats duuuuuuuuuuude!!! ” actor Zachary Levi wrote.
Former “The Real Housewives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel also got in on the fun, writing, “YES.”
Famed makeup artist Bobbi Brown promised her services immediately, offering, “So awesome. I’ll be there to get the bride ready. And the groom .”
Stonestreet, 49, met Schweitzer, a pediatric nurse, at the Big Slick charity weekend in Kansas City in 2016.
The “Identity Thief” actor gushed about then-girlfriend Schweitzer to Ellen DeGeneres during a 2017 appearance on her talk show.
“Your girlfriend is lovely — I met her backstage,” said DeGeneres. “She’s a nurse. That’s a good thing for you, because you’re a hypochondriac.”
“I’m a big baby, too. She calms me — she calms my nerves. I’m a very high-strung person,” Stonestreet admitted. “You can tell, right? What are you looking at, ma’am?!” he jokingly shouted at a woman in the audience before adding: “My nurse girlfriend will take care of you.”
