Victoria Beckham shows off her toned bikini body in Santa Monica (and husband David doesn't look too bad either)

Tanned and toned: Victoria Beckham showed off her bikini body in a polka dot two piece while husband David bared his rippling abs in a pair of low slung denim shorts


They famously bared nearly all when they posed together in an advert for Emporio Armani underwear.

And now, over a year since the sexy photograph was revealed, David and Victoria Beckham have stripped once again, showing off their toned bodies on holiday in Santa Monica.

While Victoria, 36, opted to wear a black polka dot bikini in order to make the most of the sunshine, David chose a pair of low slung denim shorts, and a backwards baseball cap.

The pair, who are currently splitting their time between London and Los Angeles, looked happy and relaxed as they spent some quality time together with a group of friends.

David and Victoria's sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz also joined them, although they spent the majority of the day riding their bikes along Santa Monica beach while their famous parents watched from the balcony.

Later, Victoria went down to the beach to ensure all her boys were wearing their correct bicycle safety equipment before they sped off once again.

The couple are clearly making the most of their precious time together, as work commitments often see them spending a lot of time apart.

But the pair showed that absence most definitely make the heart grow fonder as they laughed together and enjoyed a glass of wine on the balcony.

And despite being married for over a decade, the couple, who together are worth an estimated £125million, appear to be happier and more in love than ever.

Speaking in an interview recently, Victoria said: 'I look at David and I think, He’s so handsome and I’m so lucky to have him as a husband. And he’s an amazing father. I don’t blame people for looking at him and finding him attractive. I mean, I do.'

The pair are currently in Los Angeles ahead of David's rumoured return to football team LA Galaxy next month following an achilles injury.

In addition, he and Victoria are said to be furious after finding out that England coach Fabio Capello does not want him to return to play for the national team.

But the couple showed no sign of any stress after reports that they had decided to get rid of 14 members of their staff, including six gardeners at their home in the south of France, a cleaner at Beckingham Palace in Hertfordshire, and at least one chauffeur, in an 'economy drive'.
