Benjamin Bratt will return to Modern Family during this current season to reprise his role as Javier Delgado, the father of Manny and more crucially, the ex-husband of Gloria. We’re fairly sure he’ll be having a lot to say about Gloria and Jay’s newborn Pritchett.
Benjamin Bratt will return to our screens as Javier Delgado at some point this season. What we are unsure of is exactly which episode this will be. Regarding Javier’s involvement with a current storyline of Modern Family, he will most likely be involved with the arrival of the newborn Pritchett, Gloria and Jay’s first child together.
But, what do we know already about Javier? Aside from being Manny’s father and Gloria’s ex-husband, Javier was first mentioned in the pilot of Modern Family. All Gloria did with Javier is “fight and make love,” but Manny does still see him as a role model, even when Javier lets him down, constantly. Javier was also a Triple-A Baseball player and played alongside Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire and is hugely connected with the baseball world.
Javier even became close friends with Jay, in the episode “Up All Night” back in season 1. That episode was the first appearance of Javier, but again, their relationship has broken down due to Javier’s unreliable nature, and, well, the fight over Gloria.
But yes, it appears that Javier will return to have something to say about the newborn Pritchett, their new born baby. The baby is due at some point in January and we have a sneak peek down below for you.
Be sure to check out Modern Family over on ABC on Wednesdays at 9PM ET/PT.
