Jessica Gomes set temperatures soaring on Sunday when she hit the beach in Sydney with her actor friend Thomas Cocquerel.
The Sports Illustrated model, 38, showed off her photogenic looks in a figure-hugging black swimsuit which showcased her athletic figure and flawless skin.
With her black hair drenched in salt water and a set of stylish sunglasses perched on her face, the stunner strutted her stuff on the shore alongside Thomas, 34.
Letting her natural beauty shine through without a lick of makeup in sight, the former David Jones ambassador looked as fit as a fiddle as she enjoyed a fun day out with her friend.
Meanwhile, Thomas sported just a pair of black shorts for the outing and looked to be in good spirits as he flexed his muscular frame while chatting to Jessica.

His brunette hair was swept back and a light five o’clock shadow contributed to his rugged charm.
At one point, Jessica and Thomas cooled down by jumping into the ocean and looked to be having the time of their lives paddling in the water together.
Prior to this outing, the pair have not been spotted in public together and it is not known if they are dating, although they do follow each other on Instagram.

The pair looked to be having the time of their lives together, and it was clear that their day was filled with shared joy and a genuine connection.
In the past, Jessica has been open about being labelled ‘too curvy’ by the fashion industry during her early days as a model.
She told Stellar magazine in 2021 how one encounter back in 2006 left her feeling deeply demoralised.

Jessica, who is of Portuguese, Singaporean and Chinese heritage, attended a casting in New York City where the director sighed and prodded her breasts after fitting her in an outfit.
‘I felt really bad about myself,’ Jessica told the magazine. ‘I was getting knocked back by a lot of fashion brands because I was too curvy.’
In hindsight, the rejection turned out to be a blessing, with Sports Illustrated booking her shortly thereafter.
Having modelled for more than two decades, Jessica is now busier than ever, not only fronting fashion campaigns, but also turning her hand to business and acting.
