Jesse Tyler Ferguson Is Engaged!

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita

Congratulations to Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who recently got engaged to his boyfriend, attorney Justin Mikita, and is launching a new nonprofit project to boot.

"I popped the big Q!" the Modern Family star says in the introductory video for Tie the Knot, a foundation he launched with Mikita to promote marriage equality.

"I said yes!" says Mikita, who also appears in the video.

Modern Family finale: Did Mitch and Cam get their baby?

The couple have been dating for almost two years and have also partnered with The Tie Bar to create a collection of customized bowties, with all proceeds going to organizations that promote equal rights for same-sex couples.

"We're just like millions of Americans who are denied the basic civil rights to marry the person that we love," Ferguson says in the clip.
