Former Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio showed off her beach body in a blue and white bikini during a Sunday outing in Los Angeles, just days after announcing her engagement to jewelry designer Buck Palmer.
The 45-year-old Brazilian model stripped down to the two-piece swimsuit after engaging in a game of volleyball with friends on the sand.
Ambrosio put her athleticism on display while playing in high-waisted blue shorts, flexing her taut midriff and long, toned legs before adding sporty sunglasses and a white Alo baseball cap.
The runway star later took to the ocean for a dip alongside her friends, flashing a big smile and enjoying a deep stretch in the sand.
Earlier on Sunday, Ambrosio and Palmer, 44, strolled through their local farmers market in Brentwood, an affluent neighborhood in Los Angeles.
The model documented the morning outing on Instagram, sharing video clips alongside her husband-to-be with the caption, "Hitting the markets... our Sunday routine."
The couple has been dating since late 2024, having first met at a party during Miami's Art Basel fair that same year.
Engagement rumors first sparked this past spring when Ambrosio shared photos on Instagram wearing a gold band on her ring finger.
Beach proposal and Instagram announcement
Ambrosio officially announced their engagement last week in a gushing Instagram post featuring photos from Palmer's proposal on the beach.
One of the proposal photographs showed matching heart tattoos on the couple's wrists.
"I’d choose you in this life and every life. Here’s to forever, my love," Ambrosio captioned the post.
In a follow-up post days later, the fashion icon said she was "still soaking it all in."
The couple has documented their travels and daily life on a joint Instagram profile, @ourdream1111, since February 2025. The account description reads, "An insight into our travels, adventures and love."
Relationship history and family life
Insiders previously confirmed that Ambrosio felt an instant connection with Palmer when they met in 2024, hoping to spend her life with him.
"Alessandra knows who her New Year's Eve kiss is going to be, and she hopes to have the same man to kiss for every New Year's Eve for her entire life," a source exclusively told The Daily Mail at the time.
The source added that Ambrosio "has been through the wringer in relationships but really truly believes in love and feels like she finally found it."
In 2025, Ambrosio told Us Weekly that she and Palmer bonded through their mutual "passion for life."
Ambrosio shares two children, 17-year-old daughter Anja and 14-year-old son Noah, with her ex-fiancé, businessman Jamie Mazur.
Career background and global fame
Ambrosio gained international prominence as a spokesmodel for Victoria's Secret, the American lingerie and beauty retailer. She served as one of the brand's signature Angels for seventeen years, leading its high-profile fashion shows until 2017.
Born in Brazil, she remains one of the world's most recognizable fashion models, balancing television appearances and global brand partnerships alongside her family life in California.
