Retired NBA star Blake Griffin showcases his chiseled build during a romantic beach walk with fiancée Francesca Aiello in Malibu. The 37-year-old former forward, who stepped away from basketball in April 2024, holds hands with the 30-year-old model as their dog joins the stroll along the shore.
Beach Day Bliss
The couple enjoys the oceanfront, standing on rocks to admire the horizon while their pup shakes off seawater. Griffin sports olive green swim trunks low on his hips, highlighting his toned torso despite nearly two years off the court. Aiello, founder of Frankies Bikinis, models her own deep blue floral triangle bikini top and matching bottoms, displaying her sculpted figure.
They wade into shallow water, chat, and laugh hand-in-hand before relaxing in deck chairs under a parasol, with their dog cooling off nearby.
Private Romance Timeline
Griffin and Aiello keep their relationship low-key. They began dating in June 2018, split, and rekindled in 2023. The former Boston Celtics player proposed around the 2024 holidays. Fans spotted her dazzling engagement ring in early 2025 Instagram posts from the Malibu native, sparking speculation.
Griffin was previously engaged to Brynn Cameron, with whom he shares son Ford, 11, and daughter Finley, 8.

Drafted No. 1 overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in 2009, Griffin earned 2011 Rookie of the Year honors and six All-Star nods over 14 seasons. He later played for the Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, and Boston Celtics.
Post-retirement, Griffin joins Amazon Prime Video’s NBA studio coverage in 2025 following the platform’s 11-year, nearly $20 billion league deal.
