Jesse Tyler Ferguson is just like Us — he has a sweet, but simple nickname for his significant other!
“We both call each other this, but it started off as ‘Baby boy,’” Ferguson, 49, exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly, referring to his husband, Justin Mikita. “I go, ‘Hey, baby boy.’ But now it’s like, ‘Bay-boy. Baboy.’”
The Modern Family alum, who recently partnered with Tovala, also dished to Us about his “favorite Housewife.” While Ferguson confessed he’s “not super [into] Real Housewives,” he does consider one of the former Real Housewives of New York City stars a friend.
“I know Bethenny Frankel a little bit, yeah. I just think she’s such a badass,” he reveals. “So anything that comes out of her mouth, I’m kind of like, ‘Yes, I endorse that.’”

Ferguson has a busy schedule, so it’s not surprising that he doesn’t have time to watch RHONY among other Bravo shows. In fact, his lack of time is what led him to start using Tovala’s Smart Oven for quicker meals for his and Mikita’s two sons, Beckett, 4, Sullivan, 2.
When Ferguson does carve out even more time for himself, he spends it on things that are totally relatable.
