Karl Stefanovic’s daughter Willow looked smitten on Friday as she stepped out on a beach date with her ‘rich’ Argentinian athlete boyfriend Genaro Abdola.
The 19-year-old and Genaro couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they went swimming at a Sydney beach.
The couple wasn’t afraid to flaunt their affection, walking romantically hand in hand.
In a gentlemanly move, Genaro lovingly put his arm around Willow, pulling her closer as they walked towards the sand.
Willow cut a summer figure in a white graphic t-shirt which she paired with a pair of semi-sheer pants as she hit the beach.
She packed all her essentials into a luxurious $1,800 Chloé handbag and protected her face from the sun with a blue cap.
Karl Stefanovic’s daughter Willow looked smitten on Friday as she stepped out on a beach date with her ‘rich’ Argentinian athlete boyfriend, Genaro Abdola.
The 19-year-old and Genaro couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they went swimming at a Sydney beach.
When it was time to hit the water, Willow revealed her lithe figure in a simple light blue two-piece bikini.
The couple looked loved up as they spent a relaxing day in the sun.
Genaro, for his part, also cut a casual figure in a white long-sleeved linen shirt that he paired with light blue shorts.
She accessorized with a black baseball-style cap and tinted sunglasses, and clutched her phone tightly as the lovebirds hit the beach.
The sports star also showed off his taut body, choosing to wear the shorts he came to the surf in.
Even though their romance was only a few months old, Willow and Genaro seemed genuinely happy to be in each other’s company.
At one point during the beach date, as Willow surveyed the water, Genaro stood behind his lover and put his arms around her shoulders.

The couple also appeared to be having fun in the waves, with Willow smiling as she frolicked with her boyfriend in the waves.
Willow wasn’t afraid to pamper her boyfriend either, seen at one point applying sunscreen to Genaro’s back.
Willow debuted her new boyfriend on Instagram while enjoying a vacation in Ibiza in May.
She shared a series of photos on Instagram as she explored the island during the sun-soaked trip.
One photo showed Willow holding a child’s outstretched hand and smiling at the camera while standing on the beach.
She also shared several other selfies and images of beaches she visited during her trip, but did not tag anyone in her post.
“A dream,” he simply captioned the photos.
In June it was revealed that her mystery man was Genaro, who met Willow while she was in Aspen for a family Christmas in 2023.
The duo weren’t afraid to flaunt their affection, romantically walking into the sand hand in hand.
At one point during the beach date, as Willow surveyed the water, Genaro stood behind his lover and put his arms around her shoulders.
When it was time to hit the water, Willow revealed her lithe figure in a simple light blue two-piece bikini.
Little is known about the polo player, who keeps his social media accounts private, except that he works in finance, Women’s Day reported at the time.
A source told the publication: “Willow has fallen in love with a rich Argentinian polo player who works in corporate banking and finance. His name is Genaro Abdola and if she’s in love, he’s madly in love!”
“They reportedly met in Aspen when Willow and her siblings Jackson and River were on vacation with their father Karl and (Karl’s wife) Jasmine and Harper last Christmas,” they continued.
“His family has a place in Spain and he’s been taking her on lavish trips to Ibiza – she’s living the high life.”
It seems like Genaro not only captured Willow’s heart, but also left a big impression on her Today host father, Karl, 49, who follows his daughter’s partner on Instagram.
In addition to her new romance, Willow is following her dreams in the fashion and modeling industry.
She embarked on an adventure abroad and studied fashion in London as an international student.
Willow began her studies in the UK last year and is currently studying at the London College of Fashion, at the prestigious University of the Arts London, a collection of six of the most prestigious arts colleges in the world.

Willow, 19, revealed she was dating ‘rich Argentinian polo player’ Genaro earlier this year.
It hires on a global scale and its alumni list 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 bachelor’s degree in fashion design cost approximately $55,000 for that year alone.
Karl and his ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn share Willow, River, 24, and Jackson, 17.
Willow’s third sibling, four-year-old Harper, is Karl’s first child with his current wife Jasmine.
