Sarah Hyland and Matt Prokop Split After 5 Years! Source Says Disney Couple Believed They Were “Better Off As Friends”

Sarah Hyland and Matt Prokop have reportedly broken up after dating for five years. According to Us Weekly, the 23-year-old star of "Modern Family" and the 24-year-old actor have decided to end their relationship just earlier this month, before the Emmy Awards.

During the 2014 Emmy Awards, Sarah Hyland walked the red carpet alone, and was also spotted partying with her co-stars and other female buddies at the after-party that was held on Monday night. An insider informed Us Weekly, "Sarah's doing fine. It didn't work out. She's young. They decided they would be better off as friends." Sarah Hyland's representative, however, has not yet provided any confirmation to this news.

Sarah Hyland and Matt Prokop actually met while they were auditioning for a sequel for "High School Musical" back in 20008. In 2011, the two of them got to star alongside one another in Disney Channel's TV movie, "Geek Charming."

Matt Prokop informed Seventeen magazine back in 2012, "Sarah was enjoying LA and as soon as I met her, I was, like, 'I'm going to date this girl. I don't know what it's going to take, but I will make it happen.'" He also divulged a few details about the first date that they had at a particular Mexican restaurant. He said that he and Sarah Hyland "didn't have to work to impress each other."

Matt Prokop further added, "We were both there for the right reasons. It just felt so natural." Sarah Hyland and Matt Prokop have reportedly lived together during the span of their relationship. Plus, they also served as parents to a dog, which was their pet Maltipoo that they decided to name Barkley Bixby.

Sarah Hyland has also opened up about their living with one another on "The View" back in 2011, and she said, "Pros: It's cheaper. Cons: We're both really lazy. So, laundry and dishes, we complain about that."
