Who is Sarah Hyland’s husband? Meet Wells Adams, who just celebrated his engagement anniversary with the Modern Family star – and starred on The Bachelorette after his brother dropped out of the show
- The actress had been posting about, and crushing on, her now-husband since he was on season 12 of The Bachelorette and trying to win the hand of Joelle ‘JoJo’ Fletcher
- Adams, who co-hosts a podcast with Miley Cyrus’ sister Brandi, asked both his then-girlfriend’s real-life and on-screen parents, Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, before popping the question in 2019
Celebrity couple Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams have been dubbed “relationship goals” for a while now – and Adams just reminded us why they deserve that title. The Bachelorette alum celebrated his “engagement anniversary” with the Modern Family star earlier this month with a heartfelt post on Instagram, in which he said that “[conning] this woman to spend the rest of her life with me” was the “best decision I’ve ever made”.
Accompanying his sentiments was a picture of the couple from their trip to Fiji’s Honeymoon Island, where he proposed, per Vogue.
Not only do Hyland, 33, and Adams, 40, have the cutest photos, they also have the cutest get-together story. The two first flirted on X (formerly Twitter) in the summer of 2017 before he slid into her DMs on Instagram. The two became Instagram-official in November that year, moved in together in 2018, and he popped the question in 2019. (He asked not only Hyland’s parents for their blessings, but also her on-screen mum and dad, Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, for theirs, per Seventeen.) They originally had plans to get married in 2020, per People, but were delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic. They eventually tied the knot in 2022.
Here’s everything you need to know about the love of Hyland’s life, who couldn’t stop crying at their wedding and admits to digging his wife’s Little Shop of Horrors accent.
Wells Adams is a radio DJ-turned-podcaster
Adams got his start in the world of radio at 16 years old, and this, too, apparently had a “con” element involved, he said on YouTube channel Trading Secrets with Jason Tartick: he somehow managed to convince a high school to let him have a show on their radio station – when he wasn’t even a student there. He went on to host on Lightning 100 and iHeart.
Although being a radio DJ wasn’t his dream job at first, as he wanted to be a musician, he said in the same interview, Adams realised that radio would help him “hang out with the cool kids”. He later graduated from the University of Mississippi where he majored in broadcast journalism.
