Modern Family has stiff competition in the mum department, as Gloria’s daughter-in-law Claire Dunphy has her fair share of iconic moments.
But with her hilarious temper, passion for life, glam looks and uh, unique stories from her village in Colombia, Sofia Vergara’s Gloria has the edge.
She’s nothing if not authentic. Passionate about imparting her Colombian roots to her children, Gloria is also not afraid to be loud, emotional and speak her mind.
While her parenting has some quirks (she did dress Manny as a girl for the first year of his life), she’s also attentive, fiercely loyal and accepting of her sons – and stepkids Claire and Mitchell – for who they are (well, now).
