Hilary Swank isn’t shy about showing off her new romance.

The Oscar-winning actress, 41, made her red carpet debut with beau Ruben Torres on Tuesday at an Art Basel Miami Beach kick-off party. The Million Dollar Baby star wore a low-cut, black, lace dress, which gave off negligée vibes, as she posed with her arm around her man.

According to one unconfirmed report, Torres is Swank’s tennis coach. The Colombia native came to the United States at the age of 12 on a tennis scholarship and went on to play the sport professionally for a time. He later earned his MBA and become a financial advisor at USB, but continues to coach at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, where he must have met Swank.

No wonder her arms look so good!

Swank and Torres are in Miami for the contemporary art fair, which opens Thursday. Along with Sylvester Stallone and Adrien Brody, she hosted a party for Jason Binn and DuJour magazine at Delano Beach Club. While there, Swank told the Associated Press that she collects an array of art from sculptures to photographs, but still considers herself a newbie among art aficionados.

The couple posed with a group including Jason Binn and Sylvester Stallone at an Art Basel Miami Beach party on Tuesday.

“I think that art either makes you learn something new about yourself or makes you relate to something in yourself or is simply entertaining and that’s the beauty of it,” she said. “I love how it makes the world bigger and how it expands my whole idea of life.”

In the same interview, she talked about taking an 18-month hiatus from acting — her longest to date — to care for her father as he recovered from a lung transplant.

Swank didn’t mention how several of those months were also spent getting to know Torres, but her body language in the photos speaks volumes about their new romance, don’t you think?
