Wells Adams, best known for his role as the island bartender on Bachelor in Paradise, recently shared exclusive details about a romantic date he planned for his wife, Sarah Hyland. The reality TV star revealed that his experiences on the Bachelor franchise have influenced his approach to dating, drawing inspiration from the elaborate and romantic setups orchestrated by the show’s date team.
Adams spoke with PEOPLE ahead of the premiere of Bachelor in Paradise season 10, airing on Monday, July 7 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. He opened up about how his time on the show has seeped into his personal life, particularly in his relationship with Hyland. “There’s a whole team of people that set up dates and make them really romantic,” Adams shared. “A lot of times I have to host them or be a part of the dates, so I’ve seen how it all goes down and how they do everything. I’ve utilized a lot of their skill set.”
Describing a standout moment, Adams recounted taking Hyland on a helicopter ride to Catalina Island for a thrilling zip-lining adventure. Reflecting on the experience, Adams jokingly dubbed it the “most Bachelor date in the world,” showcasing the flair and creativity synonymous with the reality TV show. Adams credits his interactions with the Bachelor Nation date team for providing him with invaluable insights into creating memorable and romantic experiences for his wife.
Adams’ journey in Bachelor Nation began as a contestant on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. Despite not finding love on the show, his role as the affable bartender since 2017 led him to his now-wife, Hyland. The couple’s relationship blossomed after Hyland, a self-professed Bachelor fan, initiated a flirtation with Adams on social media in 2016. They eventually tied the knot in August 2022, marking a milestone in their love story.
While Bachelor-inspired dates have been a part of their relationship dynamic, Adams hinted that he hadn’t planned anything special for their upcoming third wedding anniversary. With Hyland currently enjoying a girl’s trip in Italy, Adams playfully noted his exclusion from the excursion and contemplated the need to organise a surprise for his wife upon her return.
Despite their physical distance due to Adams’ filming commitments for Bachelor in Paradise in Costa Rica, he ensures that Hyland stays in the loop with all the behind-the-scenes gossip from the show. The couple maintains a strong connection through regular communication, with Adams sharing insights and updates with Hyland, who eagerly anticipates each new development.
Looking ahead to the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise, Adams teased significant changes, including the addition of previous show alumni, a revised location in Costa Rica, and Hannah Brown’s new role as Head of Paradise Relations. Adams expressed excitement over these developments and his belief that Hyland shares in his enthusiasm for the upcoming season.
As Bachelor in Paradise season 10 gears up for its premiere, fans can catch Adams in action as the island bartender, bringing a touch of romance and humour to the beloved reality TV series. With his Bachelor-inspired date ideas and deep connection with Hyland, Adams continues to demonstrate his flair for creating unforgettable moments both on and off-screen.
