In May 2024, Netflix announced the sequel to the 1996 sports comedy “Happy Gilmore,” starring Adam Sandler — but Julie Bowen figured her role as Virginia Venit, Happy’s love interest, had long since been retired to the clubhouse.

In a recent interview, "Modern Family" star Julie Bowen got candid on living with a heart disorder, as well as her upcoming role in "Happy Gilmore 2."

Bowen was convinced she would be replaced with a younger actress for the sequel, which takes place 30 years after the original.
