In June 2016, Sarah Hyland joined her then-boyfriend Dominic Sherwood in Buena Park, California, for the reopening of the GhostRider roller coaster at Knott’s Berry Farm. They dated for over two years, from roughly early 2015 to August 2017.
The outing served as a relaxed precursor to her appearance at that year’s Guys’ Choice Awards, showing the Modern Family star in a more rugged, casual element than her typical red-carpet appearances.

During the Knott’s Berry Farm event, Sherwood and Hyland reportedly rode the refurbished coaster six times before posing on the orange carpet with Jiff the Pomeranian.
Standing at 5ft 11 (180.3 cm), Sherwood is nearly ten inches taller than Hyland, who is 5ft 1 (154.9 cm). The couple originally met as co-stars in the 2014 film Vampire Academy.
