Karl Stefanovic‘s daughter Willow looked loved-up on Friday as she stepped out for a beach date with her ‘wealthy’ Argentinian athlete boyfriend Genaro Abdola.
The 19-year-old and Genaro couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they went for a swim at a Sydney beach.
The couple were not afraid to flaunt their affection, romantically walking hand in hand.
In a chivalrous move, Genaro lovingly threw his arm around Willow, pulling her closer as they walked down to the sand.
Willow cut a summery figure in a white graphic T-shirt that she matched with a pair of semi sheer pants as she arrived to the beach.
She kept all of her essentials in a luxe $1800 Chloé tote bag and shielded her face from the sun with a blue cap.

When it was time to hit the water, Willow revealed her lithe frame in a simple light blue two piece bikini.
The couple looked besotted with each other as they spent a relaxing day in the sun.
Genaro, meanwhile, also cut a casual figure in a white long-sleeved linen shirt that he matched with light blue shorts.
He accessorised with a black baseball-style cap and tinted sunglasses, and clasped his phone tightly as the lovebirds hit the beach.
The sports star also showed of his taut frame, choosing to wear the shorts he arrived in into the surf.
Despite their romance only being a few months old, Willow and Genaro looked truly chuffed to be in each other’s company.
At one point during the beach date, as Willow was surveying the water, Genaro stood behind his ladylove, throwing his arms around her shoulders.

The couple looked to be having a ball in the surf, too, with Willow beaming as she cavorted with her beau among the waves.
Willow also wasn’t afraid to dote on her beau, spotted at one point applying sunscreen to Genaro’s back.
Willow debuted her new beau on Instagram while enjoying a holiday in Ibiza back in May.
She shared a series of photos to Instagram as she explored the island during the sun-soaked trip.
One photo showed Willow holding a boy’s extended hand and smiling for the camera while standing on a beach.
She also shared several other selfies and images of beaches she visited during her trip but failed to tag anyone in her post.
‘A dream,’ she simply captioned the photos.
It was revealed, in June, that her mystery man was Genaro, who met Willow while she was in Aspen for a family Christmas in 2023.

Little is known about the polo player, who keeps his social media accounts private, except that he works in finance, reported Woman’s Day at the time.
A source told the publication: ‘Willow has fallen for a wealthy Argentinian polo player who works in business banking and finance – his name is Genaro Abdola and if she’s smitten, he’s head over heels!’
‘They reportedly met in Aspen when Willow and her brothers Jackson and River holidayed with their father Karl and [Karl’s wife] Jasmine and Harper last Christmas,’ they continued.
‘His family have a place in Spain and he’s been treating her to lavish trips to Ibiza – she’s living the high life.’
It seems Genaro has not only captured Willow’s heart, but left quite the impression on her Today host dad Karl, 49, who follows his daughter’s partner on Instagram.
Aside from her new romance, Willow is following her dreams in the fashion and modelling industry.
She has embarked on an overseas venture, studying fashion in London as an international student.
Willow began her studies in the UK last year and is currently undertaking a degree at the London College of Fashion, at prestigious University of the Arts London – a collection of six of the most prestigious arts colleges in the world.

It recruits on a global scale and its list of alumni reads like a Who’s Who of the creative industries, from illustrator Quentin Blake to Florence Welch of Florence and The Machine.
According to the university’s website, tuition fees for first-year international students studying a degree in fashion design cost approximately $55,000 for that year alone.
Karl and ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn share Willow, River, 24, and Jackson, 17.
Willow’s third sibling Harper, four, is Karl’s first child with his current wife Jasmine.
