Former NBA star Blake Griffin put his chiselled physique on full display as he took a romantic stroll along the sand with his fiancée.
Griffin, who retired from basketball in 2024, was spotted hand-in-hand with model Francesca Aiello on a Malibu beach in new photos this week.
The couple, who quietly got engaged less than two years ago, enjoyed some quality time together as they wandered along the shore.
They put on a loved-up display along the oceanfront as their adorable dog joined them, shaking off the seawater from its fluffy coat.
At one point, the former NBA forward, 37, and the bikini model, 30, were captured standing on some rocks jutting out from the sea as they soaked up the view of the horizon.
Despite not having stepped onto the court in almost two years, Griffin has clearly been keeping himself in shape.

He flaunted his ripped torso, wearing nothing but a pair of olive green swimming trunks hanging low on his hips.
Aiello, who founded the lifestyle brand Frankies Bikinis, also showed off her incredibly toned physique in one of her own designs.
She sported a triangle bikini top in a deep blue with floral detailing and matching cheeky bottoms from her own swimwear line.
As they walked along the shore, Griffin and Aiello appeared to be enjoying perfect bliss together as they were seen chatting and sharing a laugh.
Following their stroll, the couple chose to unwind, relaxing in deck chairs while their pup cooled down underneath a parasol.
Griffin and the swimwear designer have always kept their relationship out of the spotlight, choosing to keep details of their romance private.
They are believed to have begun dating in June 2018 before splitting and later rekindling their romance in 2023.
They have been together ever since, with the former Boston Celtics star popping the question around the holidays in 2024, according to reports.

While the couple never publicly announced their engagement, fans began to speculate that the six-time NBA All-Star had put a ring on it following a series of Instagram posts from Aiello.
The Malibu native started flashing the dazzling ring in posts at the beginning of 2025, causing a buzz among her followers.
Griffin was previously engaged to Brynn Cameron, a former USC women’s basketball standout. The couple split in 2017 after welcoming two children together – son Ford, 11, and daughter Finley, eight.
The former hoops star, who was voted the 2011 Rookie of the Year, spent 14 seasons in the NBA before calling it quits in April 2024.
The majority of his playing career came with the Los Angeles Clippers, where he enjoyed an eight-year spell after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.
He went on to have stints with the Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics, staying with the latter until the end of his career.
Griffin has since turned his hand to broadcast, joining the launch of Amazon Prime Video’s NBA studio coverage in 2025 after the streaming giant struck an 11-year, nearly $20 billion agreement with the league.
