Los Angeles, July 3 EST: Leave it to Wells Adams to blur the lines between reality TV fantasy and real-life romance. The Bachelor in Paradise alum turned podcast king pulled off what he’s now proudly calling the “most Bachelor date in the world” — and yes, it involved a helicopter, a private island, and zip lining into the sunset.
In a new exclusive with PEOPLE, Adams revealed that he once surprised his wife, Sarah Hyland, with a full-blown Bachelor-worthy day trip to Catalina Island, complete with all the glossy bells and whistles. Think Pilot Pete meets honeymoon-core.
“She had no idea,” Adams shared, clearly still riding the high of planning a date that looked like it was sponsored by ABC and shot by drone. “It was totally inspired by the show.”
Helicopter? Check. Scenic thrill ride? Check. Peak Bachelor energy? Absolutely.
Adams didn’t just book a chopper — he staged an entire experience. After flying his wife over SoCal’s sparkling coastline, the couple landed on Santa Catalina Island where things only got more on-brand: zip lining through the cliffs like it was Week 6 and someone just opened up emotionally about their “journey.”
If this sounds like a fantasy suite without the cameras, that’s kind of the point. Adams is owning the Bachelor blueprint and running with it — no shame, no irony.
“I stole a lot from the producers,” he joked. “Those guys know how to plan a date that feels like the world’s ending and beginning all at once.”
He’s not wrong. The Bachelor franchise might traffic in roses and drama, but its real legacy might be its impact on how millennials — especially the reality-TV fluent — think about romantic gestures. Big, bold, dramatic. And now, apparently, exportable to married life.
Not Just a Gimmick — It’s a Vibe
The date wasn’t just about flexing TV flair — it’s a window into how Adams and Hyland keep things fun nearly three years after tying the knot in August 2022. Their vibe? Wholesome chaos meets peak pop culture fluency. One minute they’re making TikToks, the next they’re booking aerial escapades.
It also comes at a fitting moment: Adams dropped the story just days ahead of Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, which premieres July 7. Coincidence? Maybe. Smart promo synergy? Definitely.
Even though he’s no longer hosting the beach-side drama, Adams still holds honorary mayor status in Bachelor Nation — the guy who gets it, laughs at it, and still kind of lives it.
From “Modern Family” to Modern Fantasy
And then there’s Hyland, who’s no stranger to iconic sets herself. After years on Modern Family, she’s the perfect co-lead in this reality-meets-rom-com love story. The couple’s social presence feels like an easy sequel to the onscreen personas they’ve both left behind — part sitcom, part thirst trap, all in good fun.
There’s something quietly sweet, too, about the fact that Adams, who once poured drinks and dished love advice on Paradise, is now using that same behind-the-scenes savvy to build memories off-camera.
So yeah, they didn’t meet on the show. But they’re kind of the perfect Bachelor couple anyway.
