Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams recently tied the knot. They were married in an outdoor ceremony at Sunstone Winery near Santa Barbara, California.
Sarah Hyland rose to fame playing Haley Dunphey on the ABC sitcom Modern Family. She began acting when she was just four years old. She did commercials, movies and TV before landing the role of Haley in 2009. Sarah's Modern Family character started out as the pretty and popular sister who struggled academically. As the series moves on, Haley becomes more responsible and finds a career, marries her high school boyfriend and becomes a mom to twins.
During the 11-year run of the series, Sarah struggled with a disease called kidney dysplasia and had two kidney transplants. The first, donated by her father, eventually failed so the second was donated by her brother. She has worked to bring awareness to the disease.
Sarah met Wells Adams in 2017. He was just a contestant on The Bachelorette, but his career really took off after that.
8 Wells Adams On The Bachelorette
Wells Adams appeared on season 12 of The Bachelorette, where he competed for the love of JoJo Fletcher. Originally, his brother was supposed to appear on the show but, when he got into a relationship, he was no longer interested. So, he asked the producers if his brother could take his place. At the time, Wells was a DJ in Nashville.
On the first night, Wells stepped out of the limo and brought along singing group All-4-One, and he serenaded JoJo with their hit, "I Swear".
He made it halfway through the show but was sent home during a one-on-one date with JoJo.
7 Then There Was Bachelor In Paradise
After The Bachelorette, Wells Adams appeared on season three of Bachelor In Paradise. He arrived in paradise late but seemed to be the knight in shining armor that Ashley Iaconetti needed after her heartbreak over Jared Haibon (who she later married). The two seemed like they might end up together. But, in the end, Wells ended things with Ashley and left paradise.
Wells may not have fallen in love with Ashley, but viewers fell in love with him. His sweet and funny personality, not to mention his good looks, made him a fan favorite. Fans wanted to see more of him. Luckily, Bachelor in Paradise found a way to make that happen.
6 Wells Adams The Bartender
Jorge was the beloved Bachelor in Paradise bartender for the first three seasons. Jorge left the show to create his own tour company, so the show needed a new face to tend bar.
Wells said during an Instagram live, “Well, if you never ask, the answer’s always no. So I asked them, and it worked out!”
Chris Harrison said that Wells was not very good at making drinks in the beginning. After the first season, he went to bartending school. He was disappointed that he didn't learn to throw drinks like Tom Cruise in Cocktail, but his skills got better. His likable personality and advice for the contestants increased his popularity. Everyone seemed to love Wells.

The upcoming season will premiere on Tuesday, September 27, 2022. Last year's hosts will not be returning, and many viewers were hoping that Wells Adams will be named the new host. Alas, ABC announced that Jesse Palmer will be heading up the show, but it will be alongside bartender Wells Adams.
