Reuben Rand was a friend of both Luke Dunphy and Manny Delgado. He went to middle and high school with them and had been Luke's friend for a very long time, even having taken bubble baths with him when they were little ("Clean Out Your Junk Drawer").
Reuben was first seen in "The Musical Man", where he was played by a different actor who was not credited.
In "After the Fire", Reuben's house had burned down and Claire mobilized the community to donate clothes and furniture for the Rands who lost everything in the fire. Gloria bought Reuben a helicopter drone that Luke and Manny nearly lost before it even got to him. However, Reuben did not appear in that episode, so he was only mentioned.
Reuben had a crush on Alex at least since Season 5, even making Luke help him kiss her in "Larry's Wife", and in Season 7, they dated for a while after Alex got her heart broken and wanted "something comfortable" with "a nerdy little dork that worships her". ("Clean Out Your Junk Drawer") Alex was ashamed to be seen with him and tried to end their relationship multiple times.
