Francesca Aiello, the founder of Frankies Bikinis, has taken a major step forward in her relationship with longtime boyfriend, Blake Griffin.
On January 22, 2025, Francesca shared the exciting news of the couple’s engagement with her followers on Instagram through a cryptic post. The cover image of the post featured her stunning engagement ring, which took center stage.
In the image, the swimwear designer posed in a lacy white bikini cover-up, kneeling on the sandy shores of Costa Rica’s Peninsula Papagayo, surrounded by lush greenery.
On her left hand, a notable massive diamond ring sparkled, seemingly confirming her engagement to the former NBA star.
Keeping the caption minimal and leaving fans to speculate, Francesca let the beautiful image and her meaningful piece of jewelry do the talking, keeping the post caption-less.

The insider revealed details about the timing of the proposal and why the couple chose to keep the happy news under wraps. They shared,
“Griffin popped the question to Aiello around the holidays and the couple has been keeping it low-key and under wraps [because] Griffin does not like his relationships to be in the public eye”.
