Sarah Hyland LICKS her husband Wells Adams' tongue in loved

Sarah Hyland licked her husband Wells Adams' tongue in a loved-up Instagram album she posted for his 40th birthday on Thursday.

The 33-year-old actress, who rose to global stardom on Modern Family, married the The Bachelorette alum in 2022 after a five-year romance.

She celebrated his milestone age this week with a heartwarming post full of throwback snaps of them enjoying each other's company.

In one especially eye-catching picture, Sarah and Wells could be seen touching tongues as they posed for a selfie in front of a picturesque forest stream.

'Happy 40th Birthday to the love of my life!' she wrote in a heartwarming caption. 'You light up every room you enter, you bring a smile to every face around, and most importantly, love without limits.'

Sarah concluded: 'Thank you for being the most amazing husband @wellsadams I love you +1 anything you say. To Pluto & Back. Xx'.

Her album included photos of them making goofy faces while posing for a portrait in front of a backdrop, as well as for a mirror selfie in what looked like a hotel room. 

'I like the 3rd pic the best,' Wells wrote - referring to a snap of him dancing solo at a party while dressed in a Wild West costume including a cowboy hat and bolo tie. 

'I love being married, it’s a wonderous thing to be able to find you person,' Sarah said glowingly to Access shortly before their first wedding anniversary.

'We have been teammates. Marriage isn’t just about love and passion and attraction, but it’s also how you work as a team together,' she explained.

'His successes are my successes, my successes are his successes. My loss is his loss and I think that that’s definitely something that maybe because we’re married now is subconsciously in the forefront of your mind.'

'Being married is just really nice,' Wells said in a similar vein in an interview with Bachelor Nation a few months after the wedding.

'I think the thing that a lot of people don’t talk about is the thing that you get aside from a loving partner for the rest of your life is that unwavering teammate. And that teammate shows up in weird ways,' he noted.

'Like if you’re too drunk at a party, your teammate can tap you out and be like: "It’s time to go. Come on, sweetie." Someone has your back always.'

He shared: 'That is the most comforting thing about being married. I don’t know how else to explain it. And now I have jewelry, which is cool!'

Their ceremony was a star-studded affair with a guest list that included her old Modern Family co-stars Sofia Vergara and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Before the big event, Sarah told Wells: 'If I don't see you crying when I walk down the aisle, I'm turning around,' she revealed later on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

In a picture taken at the wedding, Wells could indeed be seen wiping a tear from his eye at the altar as his bride walked towards him. 

Jesse officiated, filling in at the last minute after Sarah's TV father Ty Burrell had to cancel because of what she described only as an 'emergency.'
