Ariel Winter Celebrates 23rd Birthday With A Smooch From Boyfriend Luke Benward

Modern Family alum Ariel Winter celebrated her 23rd birthday on January 28 and shared some photos from her day with her 4.5 million Instagram followers. The actress posted three pictures to her feed from her special day where she enjoyed some snuggles from boyfriend Luke Benward and her dogs.

In the first photo in the series, Ariel posed with two large foil balloons in the numerals 2 and 3, and were about as tall as she was. The blue and pink balloons rose just above her head and had thin white ribbons hanging below them. The television star wore a small smile as she posed with the giant numbers, which were accompanied by smaller matching latex balloons.

Ariel wore a cozy outfit which consisted of gray lounge pants and a thin black hoodie sweatshirt. She stood in her spacious living room, with a large sectional couch and television behind her. The Duress actress still had her Christmas tree up, and it was adorned with simple round ornaments.

In the second photo, the celebrity sat outside on her balcony with Luke. The duo enjoyed a picnic together and sat on a large blanket. They were surrounded by several snacks, including a bag of Cheetos. Luke also sported some comfy clothes and planted a kiss on his sweetheart as he placed his hand on her leg.

Ariel snuggled up to one of her dogs in the final photo in the series. The two cozied up on the couch for the selfie as they spent some time together.

In the caption for the new post, Ariel wrote that she was feeling “loved” and “grateful” and added heart emoji. In just a few hours, the upload garnered over 250,000 likes and had 1,500 plus comments. Fans of the actress wished her a happy day in the comments section, while others had plenty to say about her Christmas decorations still being up.

“Let’s talk about the Xmas tree still up lol,” one fan wrote.

“So…nobody’s going to mention the tree? okay..” another commented with several laughing emoji.

Over on Luke’s IG timeline, he shared the same image of himself planting a kiss on Ariel. He added another, which can be seen here, that was a more artistic shot of themselves posing on the patio. The actor also penned a lengthy caption to his girlfriend, gushing over how great she is.
