Retired NBA forward Blake Griffin and his fiancée Francesca Aiello enjoyed a beach stroll while holding hands recently, as seen in new photos.
Griffin, who called it a career in April 2024 after 14 seasons, and Aiello, a swimwear designer who founded the lifestyle brand Frankies Bikinis, showed some PDA as they walked along the oceanfront with their dog.
At one point, the couple was seen standing on some rocks as they looked out at the sea.
Griffin and Aiello, who are private about their relationship, never announced an engagement.
The former six-time NBA All-Star reportedly proposed to Aiello around the holidays in 2024.
The model, who is a Malibu native, stirred buzz when she showed off her massive engagement ring in various Instagram posts in early 2025.
Griffin and Aiello first started dating in June 2018 before they split — and later reconnected in August 2023. They’ve been together ever since.
Griffin and his ex-fiancée Brynn Cameron, who split in 2017, share two children: son Ford, 11, and daughter Finley, 8.
Griffin spent eight seasons with the Clippers after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.
The 2011 Rookie of the Year also played for the Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics.
Griffin joined the launch of Amazon Prime Video’s NBA studio coverage in 2025.
Amazon struck an 11-year, nearly $20 billion agreement with the NBA during the 2025-26 season.
