Who is Sarah Hyland?

Bachelor Nation knows Wells Adams from his appearances on Jojo Fletchers’s season of The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise Season 2. He eventually became the hotel bartender for Bachelor in Paradise, and the rest is history.

Wells Adams’ wife, Sarah Hyland, is known best for playing Haley Dunphy for 11 seasons on the ABC sitcom Modern Family. Hyland’s fellow cast members on the series became like a second family. In fact, Adams even asked Hyland’s on-screen parents, Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, for their blessing before proposing to her.

Hyland attended the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan and has appeared in a slew of films, including Geek Charming, Scary Movie 5, Vampire Academy, and Dirty Dancing (2017). She also hosts Love Island USA on Peacock.

Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams’ relationship timeline

According to People Magazine, Wells Adams’ stint on The Bachelorette caught the eye of actor Sarah Hyland, who was a long-time fan of the franchise. After exchanging some flirty tweets, Adams asked Hyland out on a date.

Just days after the pair first met in person, Hyland, who has kidney dysplasia, underwent her second kidney transplant. Although the couple barely knew each other, Adams was there for her. “He was texting me in the morning before I went into surgery, and we were FaceTiming the entire time I was in the hospital,” she said in a 2018 interview with SELF.

Their relationship progressed from there, and the pair moved in together in July 2018. Then, during a tropical vacation in 2019, Adams asked Hyland to marry her. The couple ended up postponing their wedding due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but in August 2022, Adams and Hyland finally tied the knot.

During Bachelor in Paradise Season 8 Week 8, Michael Allio and Danielle Maltby went on a one-on-one date. However, they were continuously interrupted by Adams. Later, he sat down to chat with the couple, and Danielle reminisced about when Adams told her about meeting his (then) fiance Sarah Hyland.

“A lot of people talk about love at first sight, and I never believed that,” Wells shared. “And then I found my person, and I knew it was over. I remember that first night hanging out with Sarah, and I think I texted my sister being like, ‘Well, I found who I’m gonna marry. We’ll see what happens.’ Look at us now.”

Bachelor in Paradise Season 8 airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
