According to rumors, Matt and Sarah initially crossed paths in 2008 at an audition for High School Musical 3, when he was ultimately cast as Jimmie but she wasn’t.

Later, they worked together in the 2011 Disney Channel original film Geek Charming. Sarah was Sarah, the attractive popular girl, and Matt was Matt, the brave knight.

Sarah rose to prominence as the star of the Emmy-winning series Modern Family while Matt was earning his career as a teen idol through Disney.

After dating for a while, Sarah and Matt decided to move in together and bring Barkley Bixby home with them.

In 2012, Matt made an appearance on Sarah Hyland’s Modern Family as Haley Dunphy’s (Julia) love interest, Ethan.
