In What Ways Is Jesse Tyler Ferguson Similar to Us?
Jesse Tyler Ferguson is relatable just like Us — he has an endearing, yet simple nickname for his partner!
“We both refer to each other using this term, which began with ‘Baby boy,’” Ferguson, 49, shares exclusively in the latest issue of Us Weekly, speaking about his spouse, Justin Mikita. “I say, ‘Hey, baby boy.’ Now, it’s evolved to ‘Bay-boy. Baboy.’”
The Modern Family star, who recently joined forces with Tovala, also shared his thoughts on his “favorite Housewife.” Although Ferguson admitted he’s “not really into Real Housewives,” he considers one former Real Housewives of New York City member a friend.
“I know Bethenny Frankel a bit, yes. I find her to be incredibly tough,” he explained. “Whatever she says, I often find myself thinking, ‘Yes, I agree with that.’”
Jesse Tyler Ferguson recognizes that he and his husband, Justin Mikita, can be “overprotective” parents to their two sons, Beckett, 4, and Sullivan, 2. “It’s heartwarming to see Beckett and Sullivan bonding and playing together, as well as observing their growing opinions about Justin and me,” Ferguson, 49, shared exclusively […]

When he manages to set aside a little time for himself, Ferguson engages in activities that are certainly relatable.
