They are known for acting flirty with each other on social media. And on Thursday, Bachelor in Paradise’s Wells Adams and Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland upped the flirting ante over their Christmas Instagram photo.
Sarah posted a photo with her fiancé, captioned: “Third Christmas with you but first one engaged. You’d think we’d know how to take a proper picture at this point.”
In the said holiday photo, the two were seen standing in front of a Christmas tree, with Wells in a Game of Thrones blue knit sweater and Sarah in a cleavage-baring black dress and an antler headband.
They were hugging each other, which created an illusion that the wolf on Wells’ sweater is aiming at Sarah’s breast.
Wells quickly left a flirty yet funny comment on Sarah’s post, “My dire wolf really loves breast meat apparently…” to which Sarah replied, “@wellsadams I apologize for there not being enough meat to feed your wolf.”

A few days prior, Sarah was spotted leaving a Pilates class with a friend in Los Angeles. She showed off the fruits of her labor in a pair of black Alo yoga leggings, featuring see-through mesh panels that put her toned legs on display.
The “Modern Family” actress paired the look with an off-white shearling pullover, furry knee-high socks, and heavy-duty rain boots by Hunter.

Before spending their first Christmas as an engaged couple, Wells and Sarah were spotted walking arm-in-arm at a farmer’s market in Los Angeles.

Sarah and Wells sparked romance rumors over Halloween
Sarah and Wells sparked romance rumors after attending Brandi Cyrus’ Halloween party, wearing “couple” costumes based on Stranger Things characters.
Wells dressed up as Eleven, while Sarah as Dustin Henderson. The event took place just a few months after she called it quits with her boyfriend of two years, Dominic Sherwood.
A week later, a source told E! News that “Sarah and Wells have been seeing each other for a couple months now.”
Another insider said: “It’s true. They are a couple. She has been spending time with him in Nashville and he is showing her around and doing fun activities with her. Wells is proudly introducing her to all of his friends and is really happy that they connected. They are taking it slow but are not seeing other people.”
Sarah and Wells made their relationship Instagram official
Less than a week after Brandi Cyrus’ Halloween party, the two made their relationship Instagram official by posting sweet photos together.
A month later, Sarah shared a photo of them in matching onesies, revealing that she spent the holiday with Wells and his family in Nashville.
Wells supported Sarah amid health issues
In a December 2018 interview with Self magazine, Sarah credited Wells for staying by her side while battling kidney dysplasia.
“He was texting me in the morning before I went into surgery, and we were FaceTiming the entire time I was in the hospital.” She also said he was there for her during her recovery.
“He’s seen me at my worst… I think that’s why I feel the most beautiful in his eyes, because he still finds me beautiful after seeing all that. It was a really intimate start to a relationship to have to go through those hurdles at the very, very, very beginning when you’re just even getting to know a person,” she added.

Wells also spoke to US Weekly about Sarah’s health struggles, calling her the real-life version of Wonder Woman.
He said: “Imagine having a vital organ replaced. Imagine having 16 surgeries, going to hundreds of doctors’ visits and taking thousands of pills. Imagine losing crazy weight because of dialysis, medication side effects, and stress. Then imagine, having to do it all over again. This time keeping it quiet while you recovered, all while trolls on the internet judged you for your appearance.”
“Oh, and throw in filming the funniest show on TV and executive producing and starring in a movie … and never breaking down. Never losing it. I know Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman on film, but Sarah is the real-life version,” he added.
