In August, the pair celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary with posts shared on their respective Instagram accounts. They each included photos from their big day a year earlier in 2022 when they tied the knot at a winery in Santa Ynez, California.

The outdoor ceremony was attended by close family and friends, including the actress’ Modern Family costars Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen and Nolan Gould. Ferguson, 47, even officiated the wedding after it was revealed Hyland’s on-screen dad Ty Burrell wasn't able to attend.
