Wells Adams, a television personality known for his appearances on shows like *Bachelor in Paradise*, has shared insights into the romantic gestures that underpin his relationship with actress Sarah Hyland, who rose to fame through her role in *Modern Family*. During a recent episode of the *Off the Vine* podcast with Kaitlyn Bristowe, Adams detailed how the couple nurtures their bond, especially given their busy schedules and time apart.

Reflecting on their relationship, Adams commented, “We’re both kind of romantic people.” This sentiment was expressed in response to a question about whether his romantic inclinations had changed since marrying Hyland in 2022. The couple’s journey to matrimony has not been without its challenges; their wedding was postponed due to the complications arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, their strong commitment to each other has prevailed.
One of the simple yet meaningful ways that Adams and Hyland maintain their romance is by leaving hidden notes for one another. Adams mentioned that this playful exchange adds a touch of affection to their days apart. “Whenever we are apart, we always leave each other hidden notes,” he explained to Bristowe. He added, “If someone forgets, it’s like hmm, I love you more apparently.” This light-hearted competition highlights the couple’s playful nature and mutual affection.
Cooking is another significant aspect of Adams’ approach to romance. He described it as his “love language,” indicating that preparing meals for Hyland is a heartfelt gesture. “It’s an easy thing, and I could make that really romantic,” he explained. One of his signature dishes is skirt steak tacos, which he proudly mentioned as Hyland’s favourite. He recalled a romantic dinner he planned, complete with candles, a specially selected bottle of wine, and soft music.
Adams further elaborated on this intimate evening, revealing, “I went and got like a really good bottle of wine. Actually, it was our wedding wine that my brother had made.” The couple avoided the distraction of the television and instead opted to share quality time together in a beautifully arranged dining setting. “We didn’t sit around the TV, you know? I lit candles and we put on Etta James on the record player,” he recalled—an idyllic snapshot of romance.
The skirt steak tacos hold special significance, too, as they link back to the couple’s first date, which followed Hyland’s playful tweet expressing her crush on Adams during JoJo Fletcher’s season of *The Bachelorette*. Their connection has always been strong, with Hyland describing Adams as a kindred spirit. In a previous interview, she remarked, “We like to joke that we’re the same person… we’re just so similar that it definitely felt like meeting a kindred soul from a past life.”
Adams proposed to Hyland in July 2019, culminating in their long-awaited wedding in August 2022. Their story underscores a commitment to nurturing their relationship even amid life’s uncertainties. Recently, Adams marked their anniversary on social media with a heartfelt tribute featuring a collage of their shared moments. He professed his enduring love, stating, “Happy anniversary to my perfect wife. You can tell how absolutely and completely in love I am with you in these. And guess what? Nothing’s changed. I love you more, plus one anything you say, to Pluto and back.”
Their candidness about romance and connection serves not only as a testament to their love story but also as an inspiration for couples everywhere. Adams and Hyland’s dedication to keeping the spark alive through small, thoughtful acts illustrates that romance can flourish even in the midst of life’s demands.
As the couple continues to share their journey publicly, it becomes clear that their relationship is built on a foundation of love, mutual respect, and the joyful practice of romantic gestures that resonate deeply with both of them.
