Ariel Winter is best known for her role as Alex Dunphy on Modern Family. The 18-year-old recently tried to let the cat out of the bag about her relationship with Laurent Claude-Gaudett. After careful consideration, she decided to confirm the gossip with a comical post on her Instagram account.
She recently wrote, “When you’re surprised that people just haven’t gotten it yet…:” followed by a Kim Kardashian West gif with the words, “I’m like dropping hints that I’m single.”
In 2013, Winter and Claude-Gaudett met and she reportedly made the first move. She said, “It was kind of like I saw him, and I was like, I would like to get to know him. And I did! I’m very outgoing, so I kind of initiated the, ‘Hi, I’m here! It’s nice to meet you.’”
After legal emancipation from her mother recently, she thanked her older sister Shanelle for saving her writing on Instagram, “Couldn’t be more grateful to @shanelle_gray & @davidbarrygray…the amount of love and support they’ve shown me for the past four years has been life changing. My sister is my absolute best friend and my everything…”
The post continued: “Thank you so much. I couldn’t be luckier or more grateful. I was in awe and I still am that you guys love me that much…I never would be where I am today without you two…you guys saved me and taught me to be the person I am today.”
Winter also thanked her father and the rest of her friends and family for their support by adding, “Dad…I love you!!! Thank you for always being there to support and love me as well and always put a smile on my face no matter what :). I’m so grateful for the bond we now share …”
