Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams’ relationship timeline

From their flirty Twitter interactions to their three-year engagement and romantic vineyard wedding, it’s been a long journey to “I do” for Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams.

According to Elle, sparks started flying between the couple during Adams’ gig as the bartender on Bachelor in Paradise. Adams sent out a funny tweet calling for Bachelor in Paradise bar backs and referenced Modern Family character Phil Dunphy. He tagged Hyland, to which she responded, “I’ll start working on my garnishing skills.”

But apparently, Hyland had already been crushing on her now-husband since the second she saw him on JoJo Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette in 2016. After that, the couple were spotted together on a number of occasions. Us Weekly broke the news that they were officially seeing each other in October 2017.

In July 2019, Adams popped the question to Hyland during their vacation to Fiji. He even made sure to include Hyland’s TV parents in his marriage proposal.

During a special farewell episode of Modern Family, Hyland said: “When my fiancé proposed, he asked my mom and dad for their blessing. Then, he also hunted down Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell for their blessing. They really, really are like my second set of parents.”

However, Hyland and Adams had to postpone their original wedding plans twice due to the pandemic. But finally, after years of waiting, they tied the knot in an intimate outdoor ceremony at a vineyard near Santa Barbara, California, on Aug. 20, 2022.
