Benjamin Bratt is set to reprise his role as Manny’s bad boy biological dad Javier on “Modern Family” later this season, and when he returns, he’ll be joined by a special lady whose presence is sure to spice things up at the Delgado-Pritchett household.

Former “Criminal Minds” star Paget Brewster has nabbed the role of Javier’s new girlfriend, Trish, according to TV Line.

Unlike Javier’s ex/Manny’s mom Gloria (played by Sofia Vergara), Trish “possesses upper class sophistication and book smarts,” the website reported.

In addition to her six-year stint on “Criminal Minds,” Paget recently guest starred on the Season 14 premiere of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” playing crooked Bureau Chief Paula Foster.
