Even though Modern Family wrapped up its last season months ago, we're still not over it.
Thankfully, we can still keep up with the show's stars, like Sarah Hyland, who has a lot to keep up with.
This includes her upcoming wedding to Bachelorette star Wells Adams, her hidden talents such as dancing and singing, and so much more.
Her father, Edward James Hyland, is best known for the movies Bridge of Spies and The Happening, while her mother, Melissa Canaday, has starred in short films like Float.
Most people think he's older than her, but he's actually four years her junior!
He was in Spanglish, 30 Rock, The Ex, and The Skeleton Twins. The siblings have always been super close.
She starred as Molly in the 1998 film, The Object Of My Affection with Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd.
Getting to act with those two must have been a dream come true!
This is something that she and her Modern Family co-star, Ariel Winter, have in common.
If you do a quick search on YouTube, you'll find her covering a bunch of popular songs. She's also a good dancer, as she honed her craft at art school in Manhattan.
This is a condition where her kidneys didn’t develop normally when she was in the womb.
This causes cysts to grow and cause disruptions, which is something that has affected the actress throughout her life.
Her health battle came to a head in 2012 when her father had to donate his kidney.
Sadly, the transplant didn't take well, which meant that her brother, Ian, had to step in and donate his.
"Your immune system will want to attack it and be like, ‘What is this? This is not supposed to be here.’”
“I was very depressed,” she told Self about the fear of her second kidney transplant failing.
“When a family member gives you a second chance at life, and it fails, it almost feels like it's your fault. It's not. But it does.”
"I didn't want to fail my little brother like I failed my dad,” she said.
“I had gone through [my whole life] of always being a burden, of always having to be looked after, having to be cared for."
The adorable pair first began talking after Hyland made it clear that she was a fan of Wells on the show.
They've been so in love ever since and even got engaged on the set of Bachelor in Paradise.
She revealed this when a fan on Twitter asked, "Why has Haley been missing from so many episodes of ‘Modern Family” this season?"
Hyland responded with, "Apparently I’ve been busy with the twins."
“I don’t read scripts of episodes of Modern Family that I’m not in, so I just found out that my grandpa’s dead along with all of you,” she said on her Instagram Story.
“I guess I should’ve put a spoiler alert for Grandpa Frank dying, but I was just caught off-guard. Like, as his granddaughter, you think I’d be invited to his funeral.”
She has two of them: Boo and Barkley!
Wells has even said that the couple wants their dogs to be a part of their wedding.
“That’s gonna be important," he said on the Pratt Cast podcast.
Sarah is still a big sis, even off-screen!
When there were a lot of inappropriate comments on Ariel's Instagram from those pointing out her "braless" look, Hyland came to her defense.
"GET OFFLINE AND GET BACK TO YOUR BLOWUP DOLL YA CREEPS!"
She's the clapback queen, so this type of response isn't even surprising. Suffice to say, she's always got her sister's back!
Before she found love with Wells, the actress was in a bad relationship with actor Matt Prokop for five years.
They had a nasty split in 2014 that ended with abuse allegations.
The legal documents said that Matt “terrorized [Sarah] both verbally and physically during the last four years of their relationship.”
“That's why I'm so independent," she said. "In some areas of my life, I literally have no choice but to be dependent. I've been going through this for 28 years, and I still am learning how to let go of control and how to be patient.”
"I’m about as stubborn as Sarah once I’ve made up my mind. I probably would have insisted on donating even if I wasn’t a match," he admitted.
Now that is some hardcore sibling love.
This makes sense considering she was seriously contemplating ending her own life once upon a time.
“For anybody that wants to reach out to somebody but doesn't really know how because they're too proud or they think that they'll be looked upon as weak, it's not a shameful thing to say. It's not a shameful thing to share.”
“If someone acts like that, feel sorry for them that they can't be a compassionate, loving human being. You don't need that type of person in your life. I've experienced that, and it's heartbreaking,” she said.
Honestly, we all have to keep that in mind. Let go of the toxic people in your life!
You will be better off for it.
Which, I don't know about you, but self-love is definitely one of the most important things in my life!
We're happy to hear that Sarah is working hard on loving herself.
“The thing as an actor,” she said, “is it’s like, Will I have a job tomorrow? With Modern Family ending, it’s like, Oh, great. I’m never going to work again. I’m going to have to sell everything and live out of a shoebox.”
“What you see is what you get,” she said.
She described herself as someone who “is most likely a really annoying, loud, opinionated, brash, most-of-the-time-disgusting human creature.”
“I want to wear a corset,” she said. “I want to not be able to breathe.”
Maybe someone in Hollywood will call her up to play a Disney princess! Considering she can sing, that wouldn't be the worst idea!
