With former American actor Matt Prokop, TV star Sarah Hyland found a young love that unexpectedly morphed into an abusive relationship. The pair’s seemingly sweet relationship in the 2010s imploded, with Hyland fighting for her life via a restraining order. By the time their relationship ended, Prokop was legally sanctioned from getting close to her, while his Hollywood career suffered a significant decline.
However, years after the former Disney stars ended their relationship, the actress appeared to have found romance in a whole new light, which was in far contrast to her experience with Matt Prokop. Sarah Hyland became romantically involved with reality star Wells Adams, and since they tied the knot, their love life appears to be less dramatic. Here is a look at what appears different in Hyland’s marriage to Adams from the past relationship.
Sarah Hyland’s Marriage With Wells Adams Years After Her Relationship With Matt Prokop
The Modern Family star went a long way, from enduring abuse in her past relationship to meeting the love of her life on social media. As many loyal Sarah Hyland fans know, her rapport with Wells Adams led to a lovely, star-studded California wedding. However, leading up to this, the couple did not mind showing off tidbits about their dating life. Hyland was smitten way before physically meeting her future husband, as she first saw him on the 12th season of The Bachelorette.
Since marrying Wells Adams, Sarah Hyland’s love life seems calmer and drama-free, compared to the scandalous episodes she endured while dating Matt Prokop. Since tying the knot, Sarah Hyland has been basking in the affection her husband shows her. Three months after their wedding, she made a funny revelation on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
The star actress shared how she hilariously threatened to discontinue the wedding ceremony if Wells Adams did not shed happy tears while she walked down the aisle. Thankfully, she did not need to carry out that threat because Adams proved to be besotted with his bride. The lovebirds, who don’t mind opening up about their home life, had a quick, fun chat with E! News at the 2022 Peoples Choice Awards about their marriage.
During the conversation, Adams adorably joked about his wife’s carefree nature, noting that she “thinks she’s a full-blown pop star after a couple of glasses of wine.” Besides being goofy, the TV star proved to be a loving partner who enjoys his wife’s interests. Hyland gushed to tell People in an interview that he immediately adapted to her love for Disney when they became an item. It is safe to say that Adams swept the Vampire Academy actress off her feet with that adorable act.
The Tragic Truth About Sarah Hyland’s Health Issues
Hyland’s battle is an ongoing one.
Sarah Hyland’s husband is also a man of many skills, and this does not exempt the kitchen. Speaking on The Flaky Biscuit podcast, the pair recalled their first date when they first met. Wells Adams revealed how he flew out from Nashville to Hyland’s home in Los Angeles, where he made a special dish for her. The reality personality said, “I cooked for [Sarah] and made [her] shrimp tacos one night and my famous skirt steak recipe tacos…” Per People, the movie star attested to this by stating:
“I never had a man cook for me before, so it was really special. And obviously, I love tacos, and he was just so good at making them.”
Wells Adams has also been with his wife through hard times. Just three days after he and Sarah Hyland met off social media, she underwent a kidney transplant due to her Kidney dysplasia diagnosis. The Shadowhunters star has a history with the ailment which majorly affected her career. Her first transplant dates back to 2011. Speaking to SELF about her second surgery, she revealed how Adams showed her much-needed support despite only knowing her for three days. She recalled:
“He was texting me in the morning before I went into surgery, and we were FaceTiming the entire time I was in the hospital. He’s seen me at my worst. He was there through all of that. I think that’s why I feel the most beautiful in his eyes, because he still finds me beautiful after seeing all that.”
The pair connected on Twitter after a flurry of flirty messages. The next fans heard of them was during Halloween in 2016 when they popped up on Instagram dressed as Stranger Things characters. It was unclear at the time if the pair were in a relationship. However, one week later, Sarah Hyland confirmed their romance by making a post captioned, ”He puts up with me.” Three days later, Adams gushed over his lover on The Morning Breath Podcast, saying that he was pleasantly surprised to have met her through social media.
Through 2018, Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams’s relationship waxed stronger with some vacations and celebrations of love in between. The Bachelor in Paradise star proved to be a keeper when he defended her from trolls on social media during the pre-Emmy Awards party that year. The radio host and the Scary Movie 5 star got engaged in 2019, and it wouldn’t be until 2022 due to the pandemic.

Sarah Hyland Alleged Abuse In Her Past Relationship With Matt Prokop
Sarah Hyland and Matt Prokop first met in 2008 when they both auditioned for High School Musical 3. At the time, only Prokop snagged a role in the franchise. The pair would meet again three years later on the set of Geek Charming, where they finally connected romantically. Prokop and the Private Parts actress got off to a great start, as they seemed like the perfect couple.
Hyland showed admiration for him in 2012 during an interview with Seventeen about how he supported her amid a health crisis. The movie star revealed that the Struck By Lightning actor helped her amid her struggle with Kidney dysplasia. She gushed over how he helped her with medication and through her frequent visits to the hospital. She told the publication:
“Any other 21-year-old guy would not be there. I guarantee it. I’m one of the luckiest people in the world to have him be there for me.”
Sarah Hyland’s Ex-Boyfriend Matt Prokop Isn’t The Only Star Who’s Been Slapped With A Restraining Order
Sarah Hyland and these celebrities have filed restraining orders, some more than once, against problematic partners.
The pair’s real-life romance even transcended to an episode of Modern Family. Matt Prokop played Ethan, a love interest of Sarah Hyland’s character, Haley Dunphy. The young stars went on to date for four years until it all came crashing down in 2014. Shortly after they broke up, the details of the alleged abuse made it to the public.
One month after their split, Sarah Hyland filed a restraining order against Matt Prokop. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the actress alleged that he choked and verbally attacked her. Prokop also threatened to burn down her house and steal her dog. The former actor was said to have continuously threatened to harm her, even after their breakup.
Things eventually simmered after a Los Angeles court ordered Matt Prokop to stay at least 300 feet away from Sarah Hyland. Years after their breakup, Hyland revealed to Refinery29 that the emotional trauma from their abusive relationship affected her, but she battled it with self-love.
