Over the course of seven seasons, Modern Family wild child Haley Dunphy has dated upwards of eight guys… but never any women.

That’s about to change—maybe. Actress Sarah Hyland just claimed on Twitter that her character is indeed bisexual after a fan asked her to substantiate some circling rumors.

I don't know what the writers would say? But I confirm. https://t.co/KfRXMvCvl8

There’s no way to know where the original rumors bubbled up. None of the showrunners or writers have made the claim that Haley is also into girls. Hyland even admitted in her tweet that she “[doesn’t] know what the writers would say.”

She later clarified that it’s just her personal opinion of hers.

Just to clarify, I️ havent been told nor is there anything written that would indicate Haley is bisexual. That's just my personal opinion!

Did not reveal. Nor confirm. Just stated my personal OPINION… and a story line I would PERSONALLY like to see. But that's just me. https://t.co/M6BEZ1tkNi

It’d certainly make for an interesting next couple seasons on the groundbreaking TV show, which endeared Americans to a gay couple—Mitchell and Cameron—throughout their process of adopting a child together.

Hyland was quickly celebrated online, particularly by her bisexual fanbase.
