Ariel Winter hits the beach with her boyfriend Luke Benward in Santa Barbara

Ariel Winter looked absolutely sensational in a blue and white tie-dye bikini as she enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon on the beach in Santa Barbara. 

The 23-year-old Modern Family star was the picture of relaxation as she walked barefoot on the beach with her hunky boyfriend, Luke Benward.

In addition to blissfully chatting away, the bombshell could be seen affectionately wrapping her arms around the Dumplin’ actor.  

Her platinum blonde tresses were perfectly straightened as they cascaded past her shoulders and soaked up the sunshine. 

For their fun excursion on Friday, Benward was dressed in a colorful cap and shirt, but later stripped down to just a pair of black board shorts. 

Meanwhile, Winter kept a loose floral kimono on as she walked barefoot in the sand after she was seen reading a copy of Abigail Dean’s best-selling book Girl A on a beach chair.

When the duo first arrived to the beach, Winter rocked a tiny white romper and kept her mouth and nose covered with a hot pink face mask amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, the duo both protected their eyes against the sun’s UV rays by wearing sunglasses.

The pair were first romantically linked just a few months after Winter and ex-friend Levi Meaden split after almost three years of dating.
