Sarah Hyland wants you to know that her character on Modern Family is bisexual. The 26-year-old actress confirmed that Haley Dunphy goes both ways when she was asked by a fan on Twitter this week. When one fan posted “Haley Dunphy is bisexual,” another Twitter user asked Hyland to confirm. Hyland wrote back, “I don’t know what the writers would say? But I confirm.”

She added that it was just her “personal OPINION… and a story line I would PERSONALLY like to see. But that’s just me.”
Did not reveal. Nor confirm. Just stated my personal OPINION… and a story line I would PERSONALLY like to see. But that's just me. https://t.co/M6BEZ1tkNi

The Modern Family writers have not responded to the tweets. The theory that Haley Dunphy is bisexual comes despite the character having nine different boyfriends and no girlfriends during Modern Family‘s nine seasons.
In real life, Hyland seems to be quite close to Wells Adams, who appeared on The Bachelor. The two were combined on a Stranger Things-themed Halloween costume with Sarah as Dustin and Wells as Eleven.
