Modern Family star Sarah Hyland seems to have moved on from her ex Matthew Prokop, after their traumatic break-up last year.

After the split in September, Sarah revealed that Matthew had physically and mentally abused her on numerous occasions, at one point holding her with "a grip so tight that [she] could not breathe or speak." After attempting to cut ties with Matthew, Sarah was eventually forced to file a restraining order against him, to prevent him from being within 100 yards of herself, her house or her dog.

Now though, it looks like Sarah is slowly finding happiness again after pictures were published of her sharing a romantic kiss with a mystery man while out in Hollywood.

The pair exchanged a smooch as Sarah clutched a handful of red roses… presumably a gift from her suitor.

24-year-old Sarah was out for the night in Warwick nightclub when the kiss took place. She was then seen hopping into a taxi with her new beau.

This is the first time Sarah has been seen with another man since her split from Matthew back in September.

We're so happy to see her moving on from what sounds like a very toxic relationship.

When Sarah Hyland split from her long-term boyfriend Matthew Prokop two months ago, her fans were devastated. But she soon revealed that the relationship hadn't been as happy as others had believed. 

The Modern Family actress filed for a restraining order from Matthew back in September, stating that he had continually verbally and physically abused her while they were together, at one point holding her throat with "a grip so tight that [she] could not breath or speak."

Sarah has since been granted a three-year order stipulating that Matthew cannot be within 100 yards of her, her house or her place of work at any time. Now for the first time, the actress has spoken out about her attempts to move on.

In an appearance on The Meredith Vieira Show, the 23-year-old opened up about moving beyond her pain, referencing lines from two of her favourite poets.

"There are two quotes that I want to say," the actress began. "One is a Dylan Thomas poem, ‘Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light,’ which is one of my favourite poems.  It just strikes a chord in me. And also Robert Frost, 'The only way out is through.'"

Although she did not directly reference Matthew when asked about dealing with an abusive relationship, Sarah finished by saying, "People have to go through things in order to become the person they are today, and that's that."

It was revealed last month that actress Sarah Hyland had applied for a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Matthew Prokop.

​In her application she stated that he had threatened her and abused her, both physically and verbally, on a number of occasions. The couple were together for nearly five year before splitting up in late August.

Sarah's now been granted a three-year restraining order against her ex, with all the conditions she requested. Matthew must stay 100 yards away from Sarah at all times and must not approach her house or her place of work. He is also not permitted to own a gun or to threaten or attack her dog Barkley in any way.

After Matthew's recent stint in rehab, it was reported that the director of the facility suggested the possibility of a restraining order to Sarah. The actress' lawyer said in an interview that "the documents filed speak for themselves."

Sarah has been quiet about her break-up controversy on social media, with no mention of it so far. Matthew has stayed silent on both Instagram and Twitter since mid-August, though his profile picture still shows himself and Sarah together. 

We hope Sarah can come out the other end of this and move on!

Sarah Hyland's recent break-up after a five year relationship came as a shock to fans, but the split was far messier than anyone realised.

The Modern Family actress has now taken out a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Matthew Prokop, claiming that he physically and verbally abused her during their relationship, and threatened her when she tried to end things.

In her statement, 23-year-old Sarah noted that during one particular argument, Matthew held her up against a car and verbally abused her while choking her. "His grip was so tight that I could not breathe or speak," she said. "I was scared and in fear for my life."

The actress also revealed that after the break up, Matthew relentlessly bombarded her with "vile, threatening and emotionally disturbing texts and voice mails including his own suicide threats."

The temporary order, which Sarah wants extended, means that Matthew must stay at least 100 feet away from her at all times, and also from her dog Barkley, who lives with Sarah in the Los Angeles home that the couple once shared. Sarah claims that Matthew threatened the safety of the dog, saying that she would never see him again.


It seems like the young starlet has a great support network of friends at least – she reportedly asked her Modern Family co-star Julie Bowen to be present when she told Matthew that things were over, to help "peacefully end the relationship". 

According to Sarah's statement, Matthew flew into a rage when he realised Julie was in the house and threatened to burn it down, at which point Julie advised Sarah to leave.

Matthew completed a stint in rehab after the break-up, but the director of the facility reportedly advised Sarah to secure a restraining order against him, due to his negative attitude towards her and his unstable mental state.

Matthew has yet to make any public comment, and has also remained quiet on social media. His last post on Twitter, just days after the break-up, reads "Here comes that sun again… Means another day without you my friend."
