Wells Adams thinks his wife, Sarah Hyland, was disappointed by his early exit on The Traitors.

“Yeah, she wasn’t super proud of me,” Adams, 40, told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published on Tuesday, January 14. “I mean, there’s vows that we said for better or worse, so she can’t divorce me over this. She was bummed, I think.”

Adams, who wed the Modern Family alum in 2022, explained that he asked for Hyland’s thoughts after she watched the show one morning.

“I asked her, ‘So, what’s your opinion?’ and she replied, ‘Honestly, you don’t look too terrible.’ I responded, ‘So it’s pretty bad, right?’” he recounted. “I believe she expected me to come out on top. I thought the same, but in the end, I didn’t. And now, this is where we find ourselves.”

Adams was the first contestant to be banished during season 3 of The Traitors, which premiered on Thursday, January 9. After steering during the dragon boat mission, Adams was singled out by The Real Housewives of the Potomac’s Robyn Dixon for appearing “uncomfortable” after the traitors were chosen.

Before leaving, Adams expressed that he had a close relationship with Dixon, stating, "That's why it stung so much. There are moments when you're not on camera, like when you're driving or just hanging out, and we would often chat about personal things. She was someone I spent a lot of time with. So, when she confronted me, it really affected me. I thought, ‘I know about your family, we've discussed your podcast. I’m aware of all these things, and yet you're saying I'm behaving differently.’”
