Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted enjoying a leisurely day in the sun ahead of the holiday weekend as she vacationed with husband Brad Falchuk in Mexico.
The 51-year-old Oscar winner — who recently turned heads while attending a Goop holiday party — and her beau, 52, were joined by her kids Moses, 17, and Apple, 19.
Paltrow, who grew up in the entertainment industry, flaunted her fit physique in a black string bikini.
Her signature long blonde locks were slicked wet while she, her family, and a group of friends spent the day outdoors on the water.
During some moments she wore a wide-brimmed straw hat and cozied up with a book.

Gwyneth appeared to lovingly interact with her only son, whom she shares with ex-husband Chris Martin.
Apple followed her mother’s lead as she also opted for a couple of different black two-piece swimsuits as she and her friends hung out on a boat.
One coordinating swimwear set boasted a ruched halter top and stringy bottoms.
Another, which she modeled at another point in the day, consisted of a triangle top and thong bottoms.
Resembling Paltrow, the teen wore her golden locks loose, letting them surround her face in voluminous tousled waves.
Brad, who wed the Hollywood entertainer in 2018, spent quality time with his step-children in a pair of gray board shorts with white stripe details.
He was shirtless, showing off his impressive abdomen and he wore a pair of black water shoes.

Last year the businesswoman and her brood indulged in a similarly timed getaway as they traveled to Barbados.
In November, the acclaimed performer opened up to People and said that Falchuk reminds her of her late dad Bruce Paltrow, who passed away in 2002 after succumbing to oral cancer.
‘He has things that [are] reminiscent of my dad. It’s like blue-eyed, Jewish, TV writer, with a heart of gold and a great sense of humor,’ she explained. ‘I finally chose my dad.’
Brad joined in on the interview and praised his wife’s loyalty to her loved ones.
‘If she loves you, she is your champion. You doing well feels as good to her as her doing well,’ he noted.
‘She literally screams when she hears good news from someone. She’s the perfect wife,’ the television writer gushed.

Falchuk recently gushed about Gwyneth, ‘She’s the perfect wife’
Gwyneth expressed to People that her children have been ‘responsible’ with the freedom she has given them.
‘They’ve treated it with reverence. I’ve always said, “I don’t need to give you a curfew unless you give me a reason to give you a curfew,” kind of thing.’
She continued, ‘They’re responsible and they’ve never done anything too crazy.’
The proud mom added, ‘I really loved having teenagers. I mean, Apple’s in her last year of her teenage years now, which is so crazy to me that she’ll be 20 on her next birthday. I don’t quite know how that happened.’
She is stepmom to her husband’s two children, Isabella Falchuk, 19, and Brody Falchuk, 17.
