According to reports, the couple officially separated in August 2025 [2]. The breakup was later publicly confirmed on May 14, 2025 [3]. While the timeline of the public confirmation and the actual split contains discrepancies in reporting, the separation occurred after the pair spent approximately five to six years together [1].
At the time of the separation, Winter was 28 years old [4]. Benward was 31 [5]. The couple had maintained a relationship that spanned a significant portion of Winter's transition from a child star to an adult actress.
No specific reason for the breakup was provided in the available reports. The confirmation of the split came via entertainment news outlets, including reports that Winter is now single [6].
The couple's relationship had been a point of interest for fans of the series "Modern Family," where Winter gained fame. Their separation follows a pattern of high-profile celebrity breakups that often surface months after the actual event occurs.
