Modern Family star Ariel Winter went through a difficult childhood, as criticism of her appearance online and in the press made her feel “hated” as a child star.
She made the major decision to leave Los Angeles shortly after the ABC series wrapped its final season in April 2020 and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, with her boyfriend, Luke Benward.
Winter, now 28, played the smart and capable Alex, middle child of Phil and Claire Dunphy, on the show for 11 seasons from 2009 to 2020.
