Ariel Winter Rejects Claims of Boyfriend Luke Benward Being 'Controlling'

Ariel Winter, 26, filmed a cooking video with boyfriend Luke Benward, 28, on TikTok. Don't enter their kitchen if you can't handle the heat or the truth. Fans obsessed over the stuffed peppers recipe and gossiped about the romantic life of the Modern Family star. Some praised her luck, while others questioned her relationship with Benward, citing rumors of him being controlling.

After reading the remark, Winter sarcastically replied on April 4, asking for assistance. "He's forcing me on OnlyFans to be my manager and won't let me leave the house!!! SOS!!!!" Winter cautioned her fans not to trust all theories they find online. "Don't believe everything you see on TikTok, especially rumors like that :)," she stated. "He's a great man, and if not, the dogs would take his ass outside. Apologies for spreading misinformation, Winter kindly offered a final reminder."

"It's fine!" she said. "Clickbait is tempting, but usually it's just people seeking attention and views." In January 2020, media reported that Winter and Benward were dating following rumors of their romance the previous month. Though they initially attempted to keep their relationship private, Winter eventually couldn't contain her admiration for the actor. "He's amazing. Definitely my safe space," she told Entertainment Tonight in July 2021. We've grown together as partners in both business and our relationship. He's my best friend and boyfriend. It's beautiful to have a foundation of friendship before growing into a relationship.

Winter is dedicated to her mental health and regularly attends therapy for two hours every week since she turned 21. "I want maximum healing," she said. "So yeah, I've been working hard on it."
