Meanwhile hunky Dallas star Metcalfe showed off his impressive abs and muscular physique in a pair of blue and white striped shorts.The good looking twosome shielded their eyes from the Mexican sunshine and looked every inch celebrities under cover with their dark oversized sunglasses.
Larking about in the ocean and walking hand in hand on the beach the couple who have been dating since 2009 looked as loved up as ever.
