Aaron was casually dressed in a grey T-shirt, blue jeans and a pair of black shoes.

He kept it sporty with a New York Yankees baseball cap and sported a rugged five o'clock shadow on his handsome face.

His mystery woman was beach ready sporting a pink bikini top underneath a grey Oakley tank, denim short shorts that displayed her toned legs and a pair of white flip flops.

She kept her brunette tresses flowing down her back with dark sunglasses to protect her gaze while carrying grey hoodie.

Aaron was once engaged to actress Emily Cline and later dated Kristyn Osborn of the country band SHeDAISY.

The handsome actor is set to start production in about six weeks on London Has Fallen - the sequel to the 2013 hit Olympus Has Fallen - but it was just revealed that the film has lost its director Fredrik Bond.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bond and the production have parted ways due to 'creative differences.'
