Wells Adamswants to be there for girlfriendSarah Hylandin her time of need.
Amid news of Hyland’s grueling health battle, Adams, 33, showed his love and support for the actress on Instagram.
“This beautiful specimen has had a tough couple of weeks,” he wrote. “I’m here to remind you @sarahhyland that there is light amongst all the darkness. If you ever doubt that, just look at this picture and remember how awesome we are. Throw on some sweats, order some Postmates and put on Home Alone. I’ll be home soon.”
Along with the heartfelt message, Adams shared a photo of the couple locked in a playful embrace.
Hyland, 28, recently revealed that after facing kidney failure from a previous kidney transplant and undergoing dialysis, she was forced to geta second kidney transplant.
“We did all of these tests and all of these treatments to try and save the kidney,” Hyland toldSELF. “Christmas break, New Year’s, Thanksgiving, my birthday, all of that spent in the hospital.”
Her father had donated the first kidney, so when her younger brother offered to supply one for the second transplant, she felt conflicted.
“I was very depressed,” she said. “When a family member gives you a second chance at life, and it fails, it almost feels like it’s your fault. It’s not. But it does. For a long time, I was contemplating suicide, because I didn’t want to fail my little brother like I failed my dad.”
She’s also struggled with endometriosis and a previously undiagnosed abdominal hernia — and has undergone six surgeries in the last 16 months.

The actress has been open with her fans about her health issues ever since sheunderwent a kidney transplant in April 2012. TheModern Familystar later revealed that she has acondition called kidney dysplasia, which means her kidneys did not develop properly when she was in the womb and frequently form painful cysts.
“We met each other for the first time three days before my transplant,” Hyland said. “He was texting me in the morning before I went into surgery, and we were FaceTiming the entire time I was in the hospital. He’s seen me at my worst.”

She continued, “I think that’s why I feel the most beautiful in his eyes, because he still finds me beautiful after seeing all that. It was a really intimate start to a relationship to have to go through those hurdles at the very, very, very beginning when you’re just even getting to know a person. Also, falling in love with someone before you can really be intimate. I did not believe that that was a thing, but it is.”
