A huge international celeb from a famous family has been spotted playing in the waves with a local Aussie musician.

Australia is crawling with celebrities at the moment, and Willow Smith has been spotted on Bronte Beach alongside rumoured love interest Aussie singer/songwriter Eddie Benjamin.

The pair were seen frolicking at the hotspot, so it doesn’t seem the duo were trying to keep a low profile.

Nothing screams “I’m in Sydney” more than a trip to Bronte Beach, beside a Sydney Harbour Bridge climb in that grey and blue onesie.

The Gen Zers weren’t just prancing around the beach; nope, they were there to swim and sit super close together in the sand.

It was giving Bondi Rescue meets Baywatch vibes.

Benjamin was wearing blue board shorts and was rocking that signature shaggy haircut that all men that own a guitar seem to have in their early 20s. Meanwhile, Smith was in a sleek and chic black bikini, looking gorgeous as always.

The two seemed very comfortable with each other, and while they played in the waves, they were even pictured hugging at one point.

Neither has commented on the status of their relationship, Smith has been seen hanging out with Benjamin while he returns home to Australia, and they aren’t trying to keep that quiet because they both attended the Australian GQ Men of the Year Awards.

While Benjamin doesn’t come from a Hollywood pedigree, he has made a real name for himself in California.

He has released music, including his debut EP Emotional, in 2021, but he is also making a name for himself behind the scenes.

The young Aussie is writing and producing songs for huge artists like Shawn Mendes and Meghan Trainor, and he has previously dated Dance Moms alum Maddie Ziegler.

Plus he can count Willow Smith as one of his mates.

Smith, 21, is, of course, the daughter of Hollywood heavyweights Will and Jada Smith, and she’s been following the usual slightly random path of nepotism.

She’s dabbled in everything from singing to acting before she even turned eighteen, and now, as an adult, she seems to be more doggedly pursuing her musical career.

She’s actually moved away from mainstream pop and is going the more indie route instead. She’s in a musical duo called The Anxiety with Tyler Cole, and the pair have even had their song Meet Me At Our Spot go extremely viral.

Despite being from Hollywood royalty, Smith’s carved a path for herself as an Indie cool girl.
