His parents have been supportive of his career and have shared a strong relationship with him. In an interview with ABC News, Eric shared that he loves to spoil his parents. He said, “I enjoy just having them out and giving them a comfortable place to stay. They don't need anything but ... [I] give them a first-class trip all the way out and make sure they're comfortable and have everything they want."

In the same interview, Eric talked about the time when he did a commercial for Swiffer with his mother. He said, “She was nervous and excited. She'd never worked with me before. She's never done anything like that before!" He added, “Both my mom and dad have been able to participate in the more fun aspects of my life in the past few years. It’s fun.” In November 2024, he posted about his mother’s birthday on Instagram and in the caption, “Happy 80th birthday(Nov 11) to the first and best producer I’ve ever had. All she really wanted for her birthday was to see a blocked field goal against the Denver Broncos in the last second of a game at Arrowhead by a player wearing #54. ✔️”

His father passed away in 2021 at the age of 80, and in his honor, he launched the Vincent A. Stonestreet Family Fund. The fund supports hospice programs and pediatric home health. On November 18, 2021, Eric posted about his father and wrote, “This is a post to celebrate the life of my dad, Vincent A. Stonestreet. This is for my sister, my brother, my mom, my family, and for all the people who knew him and loved him. My dad wanted nothing to do with social media, and I mostly honored that while he was alive, but not today. He would probably say right now, Eric it’s nobody’s damn business that I died.”

He further added, “And he’s right. It’s not. But today I get to tell you about him on behalf of those who loved him. He deserves to be celebrated. He was kind, caring and complicated. He was loyal and generous and he had a keen sense of what was right and who was good. He took no shit from anyone, ever and you always knew where you stood. He was honest, smart, funny, had a high sense of justice and was someone who’s word was gold. He was never late, he was a hard worker, and he never met stranger. He was a great story teller and an amazing business man. He lived by a clear code of what was right and how to treat people. He said what he meant and meant what he said.” He further shared about his father’s battle with CML and in the end he wrote, “We love you dad. You did a great job.”

Who is Eric Stonestreet’s partner?

Eric Stonestreet is engaged to Lindsay Schweitzer, a pediatric nurse from Kansas City. The couple met in 2016 during the Big Slick charity weekend in Kansas City and began dating shortly after. Stonestreet proposed in August 2021 to organize a surprise with Schweitzer's twin sons. He convinced her they were filming a promotional video, ensuring she was camera-ready, and then proposed, capturing the moment on video. Initially taken aback, Schweitzer eventually said yes, and the couple embraced, marking an important moment in their relationship.

In the interview with People, Eric talked about his fiancée. He said, "She's just a good person and a great mom. I joke all the time that she's uniquely qualified to be my fiancée because she can put up with me.” He further added, "Humor is such an important part of my life, and she allows me to be humorous."

He said, "That's the goal — to have our friends be able to come and enjoy a nice party and a great time. I don't know how often I'm gonna get all my friends to Kansas City. So I would like to do a housewarming and a wedding at the same time. I think that would be great."
