Celeb Couples You Didn't Realize Met on Social Media

SARAH HYLAND & WELLS ADAMS

Relationship status: Dating

As fans of the adorable, unexpected couple are well aware, Hyland and Adams began flirting on Twitter this summer during Wells's stint as the bartender in Bachelor in Paradise — but Hyland had been vocal about her not-so-secret crush on the radio deejay since his time vying for JoJo Fletcher's heart on season 12 of The Bachelorette in 2016.

"I'm amazed how smart the internet is," Wells said of meeting the actress online. "Because I just assume everyone on Twitter is an idiot, and then I’m like, ‘Wow!' "

RICKY MARTIN & JWAN YOSEF

Relationship status: Engaged

Martin spilled all the details about meeting his artist beau on Instagram during a visit to Radio Andy. "I'm scrolling and I see this beautiful piece of art and I'm like, 'Whoa, how cool! Who's this?' Then I start checking and all of a sudden I'm like, 'Ooh, ooh.' And then I wrote to him," the singer confessed to host Andy Cohen. "Then we were talking for like six months without me hearing his voice. We talked about art — nothing sexy … I swear, nothing sexy. It was all about art and life in general. He used to live in London, I went to London and I met him.” During a November 2016 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Martin dished on the unconventional way he proposed, explaining, “Instead of saying, ‘Will you marry me?’ I said, ‘I got you something.’ I said, ‘I want to spend my life with you.’ And he was like, ‘What is the question?’ [I said] ‘Would you marry me?'”

AUSTIN MAHONE & KATYA HENRY

Relationship status: It's over

For the singer and fitness star, cupid struck his arrow on Instagram. Mahone began messaging Henry — who is known to post selfies and workout pics galore — which sparked a conversation between the two and ultimately led to a relationship offline.

That will sound so funny."
