Stonestreet and Schweitzer, a pediatric nurse, got engaged in Aug. 2021 after dating for more than five years.
“We’ve been together for a long time and I just knew I wasn’t going to find a better partner in life than Lindsay,” the award-winning actor said. “So it just made the most sense. And I’d taken my sweet old time. Everybody else—let me put it this way—that knows Lindsay was like, ‘What are you waiting for?’ So, it was time.”
Stonestreet formerly told People that he was building a house in Kansas City to host their wedding.

“We got engaged and then all of a sudden got an opportunity to build a house, and I thought, no better way to start a relationship than literally building a foundation,” he said. “So that’s our plan and we’re still on track for that.”
The Dexter: Resurrection star frequently posts pictures with Schweitzer, 46, on his social media, with a recent post from Sunday commemorating her birthday.
“She’s gonna be mad that I posted that first picture, but I needed everyone to know what bulls--t I have to deal with everyday in that; THIS is how she looks when she WAKES UP! Everyday!” the star gushed. “Happy Birthday Lindsay! You are beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of to do life with.”
Modern Family co-star Julie Bowen, who portrayed Tucker’s sister-in-law Claire Dunphy, also commented on the birthday feature: “Happy birthday to the most gorgeous woman with the BEST sense of humor!”
