Sarah Hyland learned during her tough time that your family members will always stick by your side, even if they are your television family.
Actress Julie Bowen opened up about her television daughter, Sarah Hyland, and how the young starlet is doing after splitting from her abusive ex-boyfriend. At the Baby2Baby Gala on November 8th, Bowen spoke with Us Weekly saying, "Oh my God Sarah is so great. She’s an angel. Just love her. I love her. I love all my fake kids though and my real kids."
The Modern Family star received a lot of praise when it was reported that she was a huge supporter when it came to Hyland calling it quits with ex-boyfriend, Matthew Prokop. But Bowen said in a HuffPost Live interview that her deed wasn’t anything out of the ordinary of what you do for those you care about. "I love Sarah and I support her wholeheartedly." She continued to say, "And I didn't do anything special at all. Nothing that you wouldn't do for anybody who's going through a breakup. I think it just got a lot of attention because she's an adorably cute person who's on TV."
At the beginning of October, Us Weekly confirmed that Hyland was granted a 3 year restraining order against Prokop, her former boyfriend of 5 years. In the documents, it was stated that Prokop chocked her, made suicidal threats via voice-mail, and was abusive throughout their relationship.
