Personal life

Palatas dated actress Ariel Winter around 2012, which attracted some controversy as he was 18 years old and she was 14 years old. Winter's mother filed statutory rape charges against Palatas in 2012, but the charges were soon dropped when Winter's sister Shanelle Workman became Winter's legal guardian and alleged that their mother had been physically and emotionally abusive,{{cite web| url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/20710607/modern-family-star-ariel-winter-in-custody-battle|title=Modern Family star Ariel Winter in custody battle|work=BBC News|date=13 December 2012|access-date=10 March 2020}} culminating in Winter receiving emancipation in 2015.{{cite web|title=Modern Family's Ariel Winter Is Emancipated, Thanks 'Amazing Support System' |first=Michele |last= Corriston |url= http://www.people.com/article/ariel-winter-is-emancipated-modern-family |website=People |date=May 15, 2015 |access-date=May 16, 2015 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150516215748/http://www.people.com/article/ariel-winter-is-emancipated-modern-family |archive-date=May 16, 2015 |url-status = live}}{{cite news|title=Ariel Winter Wins Legal Emancipation From Mother |url= https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ariel-winter-wins-legal-emancipation-from-mother_n_5b57072fe4b07de723e9767c| website=HuffPost|access-date=January 9, 2015}}
