Modern Family Scoop: Sarah Hyland's Real-Life Boyfriend to Play Her Love Interest

Well, this should be easy.

Modern Family has cast Sarah Hyland's real-life boyfriend, High School Musical 3's Matt Prokop, to play her character's love interest, TVGuide.com has confirmed. Zap2It first reported the news. 

Prokop will play Ethan, the nephew of one of Claire's friends. Described as a stand-up kid, Ethan is moving to town to go to college and Claire (Julie Bowen) thought it couldn't hurt to introduce him to Hayley (Hyland).

Prokop will appear in one episode slated to air later this year. Modern Family airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on ABC.
