Social media paved the way for Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams to meet. After switching from reality to radio, Adams relocated to Nashville. Meanwhile, Hyland lived over 2,000 miles away in Los Angeles, filming “Modern Family.” So the chances of them bumping into each other were slim.
It’s a matter of contention, but it appears Hyland (kind of) made the first move. She fangirled over Adams while he was on “The Bachelorette.” But, she claimed to be more interested in his brains than his brawn. “Ugh! @WellsAdams making a Lord of the Flies reference on men tell all??? #knewhewasthebestfromthestart #menwhoreadarehot,” she tweeted in July 2016.
However, Hyland claims it was Adams who first ignited the romance fire. Hyland admitted on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that they had “tweeted each other because I thought he was funny and he was a fan of [Modern Family].” Adams decided to ramp it up a notch, though, by sliding into her DMs. Hyland said he’d told her they were going on a date to have some drinks and eat tacos the next time he was in LA. She admitted to Kimmel that she’d told him, “You’re being very forward, and it’s sexy but not aggressive.” Oh, and that she “loves tacos.” Adams visited LA, they had tacos, and the romance was on. So really, it was a shared love of tacos, and not social media, that actually led to Hyland and Adams meeting.
