Hollywood is full of fake relationships (I WON’T BE NAMING NAMES) and PR stunts, but you know two people who are definitely genuinely in love? That’d be The Bachelorette’s Wells Adams and Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland, who are finally (finallllllly) getting married after the pandemic prolonged their engagement.
It took DMs, text messages, voice memos (dayum), calls, and FaceTime calls before Sarah and Wells actually met in person and went on an actual date, and it’s pretty much been non-stop cuteness ever since. As Bachelor Nation prepares for Wells and Sarah’s wedding, let’s take a look back at their infectiously sweet relationship, starting from the very beginning: when Wells was one of 26 contestants vying for JoJo Fletcher’s heart.
July 21, 2012
Bachelor stan Sarah makes it clear that just because she talks about how guys on the show are hot doesn’t mean she’s crushing. (Yeah, that turned out to be a lie!)
Those who think I have a thing for any of the guys on the bachelorette? Think again and stop reading into things i say! I’m simply a fan.
July 27, 2016
Sarah watches Wells on the “Men Tell All” special and tweets about how great he is. Which, by the way, he screenshots and retweets two years later:
August 15, 2017
Sarah and Wells flirt on Twitter while he’s on Bachelor in Paradise. Reading these tweets while knowing what’s coming is better than any romance novel, FACT.

August 18, 2017
E! News reports that Sarah has broken up with her boyfriend Dominic Sherwood after dating for two years. A source says, “It’s genuinely mutual and amicable, and they truly remain friends.”
September 2017
Sarah confirmed with Self that she underwent her second kidney transplant (where her younger brother donated his organ, FYI) during this time. And as our May 2020 cover star, she explains that she and Wells had only gone on two dates just before her second major medical procedure. He even flew from Nashville to L.A. on the weekends just to be with her during her recovery KNOWING her family was going to be there too.
Meeting the fam before anything’s official? A lot! But if this ain’t true love???
Late October 2017
Wells and Sarah are clearly hanging out at the same place, at least according to Instagram Stories.
And she even spilled to us that they were already telling each other that they were falling in love and talking about what kind of weddings they wanted. Yeah, I‘m wondering how in TF this is real life too.
October 29, 2017
They wear a couples costume for Halloween, which causes the entire internet to spiral with rUmORS and SpeCULatiOn.

November 6, 2017
E! News reports that they are dating, with a source musing, “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 his friends and is really happy that they connected. They are taking it slow but are not seeing other people.”
November 23, 2017
Things move fast, because Wells and Sarah end up spending Thanksgiving together. But we don’t see pics until a full year later.

Wells says his and Sarah’s parents have never met because of their differing politics. “They both fall on opposite sides of the political spectrum and I’m just sure someone’s going to get into a fight about something,” he said. “It will be liberal actors and my dad and my family, who are a bunch of conservatives. My dad’s a doctor; my brother-in-law is from oil money in Texas. It’s going to be so weird.”

Wells teases that he and Sarah might have a courthouse wedding, explaining that Sarah is immunocompromised due to being a kidney transplant recipient and that “We have to be super careful about the pandemic, more so than most people our age. We had to push it the first time around, that was tough. The thought was to push it to this year. If this thing continues and we’re not able to do it, we’ll do a courthouse,” he said. “I’m really pushing for Vegas—powder blue suits, Elvis officiant.”
