Actress Sarah Hyland has embarked on a new romance with former movie co-star Dominic Sherwood following her messy split from ex-boyfriend Matt Prokop last year (14).

The Modern Family star obtained a restraining order against Prokop in September (14), four months after their break-up, amid allegations he had terrorized her during their relationship.

She previously admitted she was eager to get back into the dating game and now it appears she has found new happiness with her Vampire Academy pal Sherwood, reports UsMagazine.com.

The rumored new couple was spotted out together on various occasions in January (15), and were snapped kissing during a night out at Hollywood's Warwick Nightclub on Saturday (31Jan15).
