Andy encouraged Haley to take herself more seriously and have confidence in her own abilities. In response to this goodwill, Haley encouraged Andy to relax and enjoy life as it comes rather than giving into anxious thoughts and worrying about the future. They complemented one another perfectly, demonstrating that a really wonderful relationship is one where both individuals become better together.
Actor Adam Devine, who played Andy on the show was only meant to be on for three episodes, but his chemistry with Sarah Hyland prompted his presence for many seasons. Though Haley and Andy didn’t work out as they should have, the couple’s love was tangible and worthwhile—a love many ‘Modern Family‘ viewers still wish would have happened to them in reality. As Jay Pritchett said, “Life is full of changes, some big, some small. I learned a long time ago you can fight it or try to make the best of it.” We are glad Haley and Andy had a chance together, even if for a little while.
