American actor Eric Stonestreet has been engaged to his fiancée Lindsay Schweitzer since 2021.


Stonestreet is best known for his role as Cameron Tucker on the ABC comedy series Modern Family (2009-2020). His performance on the show earned him critical acclaim, including two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2010 and 2012.

Beyond television, Stonestreet has appeared in a range of films including Almost Famous (2001), Bad Teacher (2011), and Identity Thief (2013).

Lindsay Schweitzer is a pediatric nurse by profession and is based in Kansas City, Kansas. Similar to Stonestreet, Schweitzer was also born and raised in Kansas. The couple met in 2016 at an event dedicated to raising funds for pediatric cancer care, the Big Slick charity weekend. Stonestreet has often expressed his admiration for her professional background and the compassion she shows toward others, highlighting her strength as both a nurse and a mother.


In addition to her medical career, Schweitzer is a devoted mother to twin boys from a previous relationship. She largely chooses to keep her personal life out of the spotlight, and her social media accounts remain private. With the exception of a few major Hollywood events, she seldom makes any public appearances. Interestingly, she and Stonestreet share more than just a hometown: both come from farming families with ties to the pig industry. As Stonestreet put it, she “knew full-on getting into being with me that she was dealing with an old pig farmer,” while noting that her father was also in the pig business.

Stonestreet and Schweitzer bonded with each other following their first meeting at the Kansas City charity event in 2016. They connected over their shared sense of humor and Kansas roots, with Stonestreet mentioning that they’re “cut from the same cloth.” The couple maintained a long-distance relationship during the final years of Modern Family (2009-2020), and eventually settled down together in Kansas City at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.


After dating for over five years, Stonestreet proposed to Schweitzer on August 22, 2021, in a plan that included Schweitzer’s twin sons. He shared the moment in a series of Instagram photos, with the caption, “She said, 'She’d have her people call my people.'" and later also discussed the proposal on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, explaining how he used a fake brand partnership campaign to ensure Schweitzer was photo-ready. Since their engagement, the couple has been planning a joint housewarming and wedding celebration at the home they are building together.
