Sarah Hyland took to Twitter to defend the sexy selfie she posted on Instagram with boyfriend Wells Adams. In the pic, the two are cuddling, seemingly naked, in bed with her dog.
“Hey guysssss. I’m explaining myself again! Aren’t you so happy???? Isn’t this what Twitter is for???” the Modern Family star tweeted, before revealing that she received a direct message from a follower telling her that she should keep her private life private.
“Every once in a while I’ll go through my direct messages from you guys to see what you’re saying and respond,” she wrote. “Answer questions. Give advice. Or even just say hello. But I woke up too early to go to work this morning and saw this…”
Sarah posted a screen shot of the message and added: “Not putting her on blast. She just brought to my attention that that picture I posted might have been inappropriate since we’re in bed. So I just have to say I’m so sorry…FOR POSTING AN ADORABLE PICTURE BECAUSE CARL WAS ACTING LIKE THE NUGGETIEST SNUGGLE BUG! Couldn’t let that moment pass without getting a picture.”
Sarah explained that she does want privacy, but she also wants to share her happiness with fans.
“I do want my privacy. Especially in relationships. I’ve made the mistake in the past on being way too open and talking way too much about them. This time is different," she concluded. "It’s special. And I will share what I [deem] ‘appropriate’ on social media because I still want you all to be updated.”
Sarah and Wells confirmed their relationship over Halloween weekend, going public with their romance on Instagram.
Sarah previously dated actor Dominic Sherwood.
