“I love to be STRONG. (I’ll be using that word a lot) Strength is everything. Being strong has gotten me where I am. Both mentally and physically. I am not a fan of ‘being skinny,'” she wrote on Twitter.

Hyland has a chronic kidney condition called kidney dysplasia and has had two kidney transplants. So she was thrilled to get her booster against COVID. "It means the world to me. I'm alive today because of science. With the medical field and where medicine is right now, it's just life saving," she says. "Because I've gotten my booster shot, I feel even more comfortable than I did after receiving my two doses," she told People. She added: “To those that are on the fence, you can do as much research on Google as you want, but it's science and they're true medical professionals making these vaccines," Hyland says. "If someone like me with such a compromised immune system is not only eligible to get it, and very much willing to do so, it's safe for you out there. It can only protect you."

"I approached the brand with ideas for new products, which ultimately became the Beauty and Mood Bites—I can't wait for more of my ideas to hit the shelves!" she told Byrdie.

Bachelor nation star Wells Adams is the lucky guy Hyland married, and she feels equally blessed. "He's just been so supportive in all aspects," says Hyland. "I'm super lucky and very blessed to have finally found my person who is patient enough to deal with a fiery Sagittarius like myself who is on Prednisone and has mood swings… he's amazing,” she told People.
