Ariel Winter and her boyfriend have matching tattoos

Ariel Winter and her boyfriend have got matching tattoos.

The ‘Modern Family’ actress shared a photo on her Snapchat account on Wednesday (06.14.17) night which her ring finger pressed up against her boyfriend Levi Meaden’s as the pair showed off their freshly drawn ink.

Ariel’s tattoo is of a block of cheese, whilst 29-year-old Levi has a jar of peanut butter etched into his finger.

The caption on the snap read: "Peanut butter and cheese with my love."

And the news comes after Ariel, 19, recently hit out at criticism over the 10-year age gap between the loved-up couple, as she said she’s "super happy" in her relationship.

She said: "I’m happy, and whatever people want to say they can say. I don’t understand why someone would even comment on our situation at all, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal … But I’m super happy in the arrangement that we have; we love living together and we share all the duties and it’s great."

Ariel also gushed recently that Levi is the "most incredible person" she’s ever met and has revealed he boosts her self-esteem by frequently making complimentary comments about her appearance.

Ariel shared: "I have to say he is the most incredible person I’ve ever met and that I’m so lucky to be with him.

"He’s always complimenting me and making me feel special and beautiful. We went grocery shopping today, and I was in, like, a weird T-shirt that I kind of hate and my semi-pyjama pants, and he still took the time to tell me that I look pretty."

The star revealed that her boyfriend’s complimentary remarks help to lift her spirits when she is feeling particularly down about herself.

She said: "Even when I do feel bad about myself, he’s just there to support me and pick me back up when I’m feeling down."
