Truly the end of an era for Ariel Winter… (so, Ariel Spring, we guess?)
After spending her entire adult life dating actor Levi Meaden, the Modern Family star has apparently found someone new!
In case you didn’t see, reports Ariel had split from her longtime love first hit the ‘net in early October, though it wasn’t clear when the breakup had occurred.

Neither Ariel nor Levi have ever confirmed or even commented on the split, but their sudden lack of ever being seen together after nearly three years of sweet PDA was all too apparent. Then of course there were pics of him moving out of the home they shared…
And now we have the ultimate confirmation — Ariel is apparently dating someone new!
Photos first surfaced of Ariel and actor Luke Benward hanging out over the weekend. They were with other friends, but in one pic they appeared to be sharing a smooch! (You can see those pics HERE.)
Then on Wednesday night, they were seen AGAIN, this time at Delilah in West Hollywood. According to E! News, they hit up the club after Luke’s reading of the college drama Really Really at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute.
They may be longtime friends, but according to a source they were definitely on a date:
“It was very clear they are a couple and they were affectionate all night long. They had their arms wrapped around each other and he put his hand on her waist. They took pictures together with his phone and posed with their faces together.”
The eyewitness says they left together and looked very cozy indeed:
“They came out [of Delilah] around 1:45 a.m. and stood rubbing each other’s backs as they waited for their car. They never took their hands off of each other.”
Sounds like couple behavior to us!
So who is this guy??
Luke is an actor who was seen last year in the Netflix original movie Dumplin’ but is probably still best known for playing Billy in the big screen adaptation of How To Eat Fried Worms.
That’s right, he’s a fellow child actor!
He’s also closer to Ariel’s own age. While Levi was over a decade older than she was, Luke is just 24 years old, meaning they grew up in Hollywood around the same time.
What do YOU think of the new couple??
