Chris Appleton and his new man are kicking things up a notch as we officially head into spring — hitting the beach together and showing off their toned bods … water included!
The newly-divorced celeb hairstylist and his hunky new fling, Federico, hit up the beach along Santa Monica Sunday — ringing in St. Patrick’s Day by soaking up some sun and losing their shirts in the process.
Chris and Federico got into the water as well … and yeah, it was pretty hot to see. And as if the dip in the ocean wasn’t refreshing enough … Chris grabbed a popsicle from a vendor along the beach for him and his date.
TMZ broke the news … Chris and Federico have recently linked up and are casually dating on the heels of CA’s divorce with Lukas Gage.
Chris’ heart found exactly what it needed in Federico – a refreshing change of pace after the whirlwind with his ex-hubby. And with his friends giving Federico the seal of approval, sounds like this new chapter is off to a promising start.
As we reported … Chris called it quits with “The White Lotus” star in November, just 6 months after their quickie Vegas wedding at the Little White Chapel officiated by Kim Kardashian.

Chris listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
