Actress Ariel Winter is all smiles while heading out to lunch with her new boyfriend actor Luke Benward. The couple headed to Pattys Restaurant in Toluca Lake on Dec. 20, 2019. The pair began dating earlier that month after the ‘Modern Family’ actress split from her boyfriend of three years, Levi Meaden, in Oct. 2019. The couple had been friends for some time, but when Ariel became a single woman again, she and Luke began a romantic relationship.

The pair has not been shy about expressing their affection for each other. They’re frequently seen putting on displays of PDA, be it kissing, holding hands or putting their arms around each other while out and about in Los Angeles. Like Ariel, Luke is also and actor and they have the same circle of friends, which has made their transition from pals to sweethearts all the more easy.

The couple grew even closer as they quarantined together during the coronavirus pandemic’s stay at home order in the spring of 2020. When Luke’s May 12 25th birthday came along, the couple organized a drive-by celebration past her house where they could finally see their friends again for the first time in almost two months. The thoughtful pair even handed out boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts to all of their friends that made the trip to give Luke their birthday wishes from the safety of their vehicles, as not to get in close contact due to coronavirus fears.
