Love Island USA is back, and the dating reality show just welcomed a new bombshell into the villa during Tuesday night’s season four premiere episode.
Sarah Hyland, who’s set to marry her fiancé Wells Adams this year, just made her debut as the show’s new host, replacing Arielle Vandenberg, who hosted the first three seasons on CBS.
The reality series has moved from CBS to Peacock, with the NBCUniversal streaming service ordering two seasons.

“So they just called me up. The good ole’ Peacock called me up and asked me. And I said, ‘Yes! Thank you so much Peacock.’ I obviously love dating reality shows. I love Peacock. Perfect show for the Peacock,” Sarah said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon when asked about how she became involved with Love Island.
“And the people on it are very, very, very sexy human beings. I could not stop staring. I thought HR was going to have an issue with me. Could not stop staring at the contestants,” she added.
On Monday morning, the Modern Family star was pictured heading to The Today Show to promote the new season of her reality show.
Looking summery chic, Sarah opted for a two-piece bright pink ensemble from NYC-based fashion designer Lela Rose, who’s known for her elegant, feminine aesthetic and use of bold colors.
Showcasing her toned shoulders, the 31-year-old actress slipped her curves into a $790 pleated taffeta crop top and a matching $1,090 A-line skirt, featuring a striped pattern in orchid and hot pink.

Keeping the monochromatic theme going, she hid her eyes behind a pair of pink-framed cat-eye sunglasses and carried her essentials in a red bag. She further styled her look with pink stud earrings, a dainty pendant necklace, and some rings.
Dominic Sherwood’s ex looked glammed up for her interview. She arrived on the set wearing coral pink lipstick, warm orange eyeshadow, mascara, and a sweep of blush.
She then styled her long natural curls down, cascading over her shoulders.

Why Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams Have Postponed Their Wedding Twice
Sarah Hyland and the former Bachelor in Paradise contestant Wells Adams got engaged in July 2019, less than two years after they started dating.
The two originally had plans to tie the knot in August 2020 but were forced to postpone due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

A year later, Wells told People that they were supposed to get married in 2021, but it was again postponed.
“So now we are hoping next year, or we’re gonna go to Vegas, or the courthouse, I don’t know—well, we’re not going to do those last two things, but I don’t know. 2022 is gotta be our year, right?”

Earlier this year, Adams joked about eloping with Hyland. He told ET Canada: “Listen, we’ve postponed it two years in a row. If something else crazy happens this year, then we’re just going to go to Vegas with powder blue suits and knock it out.”
“I’m not sure if we can wait another year. We’ll see. Who knows what’s going to happen,” he added.
The couple has not disclosed when their wedding date will be, but it could be just right around the corner following Hyland’s bachelorette party in Mexico.
