Eric Stonestreet walked a red carpet in New York on Wednesday with fiancée Lindsay Schweitzer, which prompted reporters to ask how the couple’s wedding plans are coming along.
The actor and the pediatric nurse have been engaged since 2021.
“Well, I’ve said we’re building a house to host a wedding, and we’re still on track to do that,” the former “Modern Family” star and Big Slick co-host told People at the premiere of “Dexter: Resurrection.”
“We’re almost done with the house, and that’s been our plan all along.
“We got engaged and then all of a sudden got an opportunity to build a house, and I thought, no better way to start a relationship than literally building a foundation. So that’s our plan and we’re still on track for that.”
The couple have been building a home on a sprawling property in the Kansas City area since they got engaged.
Before that’s completed, though, Stonestreet plays a serial killer in the new “Dexter” sequel series. It debuts Friday with two streaming episodes on the “Paramount+ with Showtime” bundled streaming service before making its on-air cable debut at 7 p.m. Sunday.
The sequel takes Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) to New York City, where he meets new characters, including Leon Prater (Peter Dinklage), a mysterious billionaire, and Prater’s head of security, Charley, played by Uma Thurman.
“You really like serial killers,” Dexter tells Prater in the show’s trailer.
“I pride myself on finding the best of the best in every field,” Prater confirms.
Here are those “best in the field” killers, described as an “Avengers-style gathering of serial killers” by The Hollywood Reporter.
Neil Patrick Harris.
Krysten Ritter.
David Dastmalchian, who grew up in Overland Park and who was just at Big Slick a few weeks ago.
And Stonestreet, who plays a character named Al with reported Midwestern roots.
It’s not the first time Stonestreet has played creepy. In the first season of “American Horror Story,” he played a psych patient.
In an Instagram post Thursday, Stonestreet said it “sure was fun dipping my toe back into the world of fancy New York premieres again. The fans of the Dexter world are next level. Thanks for welcoming me into the universe.”
“And then of course you all know my lady friend Lindsay,” he added. “She looked stunning.”
He also gave a shout-out to Tivol jewelers in Kansas City for letting “Lindsay BORROW I said BORROW some very nice jewelry.”
