Ariel Winter Knows How to Rock a Pair of Sweats While Out and About in L.A.

Ariel is no stranger to hard work. She starred as Alex Dunphy on Modern Family for a decade. That means she was only 11 years old when the show first aired. So young and so accomplished!

Unfortunately, Ariel had to close a chapter when Modern Family aired their last episode after ten seasons. “Our final episode of season 10 airs tonight!!!” she began writing on Instagram. “While the episode is very funny, it’s also a really beautiful episode that you mighttttt need tissues for. It’s quite special.” On the bright side, this leaves more room for the star to experiment and try new roles.

Aside from being successful, the actress also likes to give back. Ariel took to Instagram to announce she will be attending Big Slick celebrity weekend with her Modern Family costar Eric Stonestreet for charity. “GUYS!!!! I’m so excited for @bigslickkc 2019 and to join @ericstonestreet in KC,” she captioned a post. “Open the link in my bio to get an awesome t-shirt to support Children’s Mercy Hospital! Tickets still avail for Saturday night at the Sprint Center!”

When she’s not posting cute selfies, Ariel likes to use social media to speak her truth. Recently, she revealed why she’s been looking thinner than usual and her answer was pretty brave. “For years I had been on antidepressants that caused me to gain weight that I couldn’t lose no matter what I did,” she said during an Instagram Q&A. “It was always frustrating for me because I wanted to be able to get fit and feel like the work I was doing was paying off, but it never felt that way.”

“I had accepted it and moved on,” she added. “I stayed on those medications for so long because the process is really long and difficult. I wasn’t ready to go through it again so I just accepted the feeling ‘eh’ instead of trying to find something to actually feel better.” However, she was able to find a combination that suits her better and hasn’t looked back since. You go, girl!
