Television

In May 2016, Adams appeared as a contestant on the twelfth season of the reality television matchmaking show, The Bachelorette, which featured JoJo Fletcher as the series lead.[7] In the series, Adams and Fletcher's relationship remained platonic, and he was eliminated in week six.[8]

In August 2016, he appeared as a contestant on the third season of Bachelor in Paradise, a spin-off of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, which features previous contestants from both series. Adams joined in week four and formed a brief romantic connection with fellow contestant Ashley Iaconetti,[9] but their relationship did not progress, and he left the series in week six.[10] In 2017, Adams rejoined Bachelor in Paradise for the fourth season as the show's bartender,[11] a role he continues to hold in the current season alongside co-bartender, Hannah Brown.[12]

In 2020, Adams appeared as a contestant on the nineteenth season of the reality television cooking series, Worst Cooks in America, and won the season.[13] In September 2022, Adams hosted the pizza competition series, Best in Dough on Hulu.[14] In 2023, Adams guest starred on an episode of the competition show Play-Doh Squished, hosted by his wife Sarah Hyland.[15] In January 2025, Adams appeared on the third season of the reality competition series, The Traitors.[16] He was the first contestant banished, in the second episode.[17] In November 2025, Adams hosted the holiday-themed baking competition series, Sweet Empire: Winter Wars on the Food Network.[18]

Personal life

[edit]

In 2017, Adams began a relationship with Sarah Hyland, an actress and singer best known for playing Haley Dunphy on the ABC sitcom Modern Family.[19] The couple became engaged in July 2019,[20] and in May 2020, they purchased a home in Los Angeles, a month before their planned wedding date.[21] However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused them to postpone their wedding multiple times. An outdoor bridal shower in early June 2022 marked the end of their two-year delay,[22] and the couple married at a California vineyard on August 20, 2022.[23][24]
