Ashley Benson is hand in hand with boyfriend G-Eazy as the couple step out for a hike… after actress confirms the death of her grandfather

Ashley Benson was hand in hand with boyfriend G-Eazy as they ventured out in Los Angeles on Monday, ten days after the actress announced the death of her grandfather. 

The couple, who confirmed their relationship in June, looked close as they prepared for a hike across one of the city’s winding uphill paths. 

Sporting a casual black sweater over matching leggings, Ashley, 30, looked relaxed during her latest outing with the rapper.

She added to her look with a pair of battered black Converse boots, while a bandanna remained tied around her neck, ready to be used as a makeshift face-mask. 

Joining his girlfriend, G-Eazy – real name Gerald Earl Gillum – opted for a matching black sweater, teamed with Nike shorts and running shoes. 

On another hot day across southern California, the 31-year old stayed cool beneath a jaunty black baseball cap.

Both ensured they stayed hydrated during their uphill walk by carrying bottles of mineral water as they made their way across a steep path.  

The couple started dating shortly after Ashley’s two-year relationship with model and actress Cara Delevingne came to an end in May.   

Ashley’s latest appearance comes little more than a week after she paid tribute to her late grandfather in a post shared with Instagram followers on July 18th.

Sharing an image of herself sitting on her grandfather’s shoulders as a toddler, she wrote: ‘I love you my sweet papa. I’ll miss you dearly.’

In the sweet portrait, baby Ashley sported a huge smile and had her blonde hair in pigtails.

She did not explicitly list her late grandfather’s name, nor did she reveal whether was on her father or mother’s side of the family.
