Wells Adamsis hitting back at critics who said that his girlfriend,Sarah Hyland, will have to pay for her own engagement ring.
The 34-year-old reality star, who appeared onThe BacheloretteandBachelor in Paradise, set the record straight about his financial status during the latest episode of his podcast,Your Favorite Things.
“Can I go on the record right here? I will pay for this ring, I promise you. It will come out of my bank account, okay?” Wells told co-host Brandi Cyrus, adding that his “pet peeve” is when fans assume “Sarah pays for everything.”
He added, “I guess the thing that grinds my gears the most is, anytime I’ve seen anyone from that show, they’re so nice to me. [They’re] so nice to my face. Like if you’re going to be a dick, be a dick all the time. If you’re going to be nice, be nice all the time. … I just did exactly what they wanted me to do, which is respond to it.”

Again, Adams stood up for himself. “I did not live in a one bedroom apartment in Nashville …” he said onYour Favorite Things. “I owned a house then, it was a two-bedroom house!”
“Aside from the fact that it’s just kind of mean, what’s funny to me is that it’s all about money for them. It had to be the apartment that I lived in, not the house that I owned. … ‘Yeah they live together, but it’s her house, don’t forget,’ ” Adams said. “If I’ve learned anything throughout my career, it’s that success in life has very little to do with your bank account. You know? And the sooner you realize that, the sooner you’re going to be happy.”
Cyrus was on Adams side — as was Hyland. “I told Sarah, I showed Sarah,” Adams said. “And she was like, ‘I’m f—— going after this guy.’ And I was like ‘Don’t, that’s what they really want.’ ”
Lunchbox also defended himself. “Slammed? No. Made a comment? Yes.” he tweeted.

Hyland and Wells first flirted on Twitter in 2016 but didn’t get together until the fall of 2017.
They’ve been going strong ever since, and have been living together since August 2018, when Adamsmoved to L.A.
Hyland told PEOPLE thatmoving in together“brought us closer.”
“I don’t think it’s been long enough to discover pet peeves with each other,” theModern Familystar said. “I think we’re in the honeymoon phase of living together. It’s good that nothing is already starting, because then I think that would be a bad sign.”
The couplecelebrated their one-year anniversaryin October 2018.
“It’s been really weirdly normal,” Adams told PEOPLEof their relationship. “That question gets asked a lot because you expect the answer to be like,it’s crazy because it’s in the spotlight,but for whatever reason, it’s been really nice and normal and wonderful.”
