Sarah Hyland’s ex Matt Prokop arrested for assaulting girlfriend

Sarah Hyland’s ex, Matt Prokop, was arrested in Victoria, Texas after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend.

Victoria Police responded to a call Saturday after Prokop’s girlfriend reportedly told someone the 33-year-old former child star had attacked her.

According to TMZPolice say the couple was gone by the time authorities arrived.

Police finally found the couple an hour later when they responded to a call about another disturbance elsewhere in Victoria.

Victoria Police Sergeant Dailey told police that during the investigation they were told Prokop allegedly pushed his girlfriend and hit her head against something.

Authorities also said the unnamed girl suffered sufficient injuries to warrant arrest.

Page Six reached out to both Victoria Police and Prokop’s representative but did not immediately hear back.

Prokop, who previously rose to fame on “The Office” and children’s shows such as “Hannah Montana” and “High School Musical 3,” was also once the subject of a restraining order for allegedly abusing Hyland.

In September 2014, the 33-year-old “Modern Family” actress filed for a temporary restraining order against Prokop, claiming that he choked and threatened her life.

According to court documents, Hyland told authorities: “His grip was so tight I couldn’t breathe or speak. I was scared and I feared for my life.”

Prokop was ordered to stay at least 100 meters away from the former “Love Island USA” host and her dog.

The following month, Hyland spoke about the incident, revealing how she turned her life around after dealing with Prokop’s alleged abuse.

“There are two quotes I want to say,” she said at the time. “One of them is a poem by Dylan Thomas: ‘Do not go gentle into that good night.’ “Rage, rage at the dying of the light” – this is one of my favorite poems. It just strikes a chord with me. And then also Robert Frost: “The only way out is through.”

She added: “People have to go through things to become the person they are today, and that’s it.”

Hyland has since moved on to Bachelor in Paradise bartender Wells Adams, whom she married at Sunstone Winery in Santa Ynez, California in August 2022.

Adams, 40, popped the question in July 2019, after the couple had been dating for two years.
