George Clooney’s ex Elisabetta Canalis, 41, flaunts her incredibly toned body in a leopard print swimsuit as she frolics in the water in Italy

She dated movie star George Clooney for two years and once joked he was ‘better than plastic surgery’ for keeping her youthful. 

And Elisabetta Canalis looked sensational as she flaunted her incredibly toned body in a leopard print swimsuit while at the beach in Sassari, Italy, on Friday.

The model, 41, put on a sizzling display as she frolicked around in the water and made the most of the beautiful weather.

Elisabetta donned a leopard print one-piece which boasted a criss-cross detail on the back for her day at the beach.

Her swimsuit skimmed her pert derrière and scooped across her ample assets to accentuate the beauty’s svelte figure.

The mother-of-one wore her brunette locks down, letting them get wet as she took a dip in the water, and appeared to be wearing only the lightest touch of makeup.

Later in the day, Elisabetta was seen toting a large red beach bag as well as a beige towel as she made her way off the golden sands.

Elisabetta’s dating history includes footballers Christian ‘Bobo’ Vieri and Reginaldo Ferreira Da Silva, as well as The Pursuit Of Happyness director Gabriele Muccino. 

She famously had a two-year relationship with George Clooney, whom she told Entertainment Tonight was ‘better than plastic surgery!’ for keeping her youthful.

They split in June 2011 a month after George’s 50th birthday, saying jointly: ‘It’s very difficult and very personal and hope everyone can respect our privacy.’

Elisabetta married one Brian Perri in her native Sardinian province of Sassari in September 2014, two weeks before George’s Venetian wedding to Amal Alamuddin.

A year after their wedding Elisabetta welcomed her firstborn daughter Skyler, whom she shared a sweet Instagram snap of back in April.

In the photograph Elisabetta kissed her daughter while lifting her off her feet and hugging her against the fridge.

‘How much do I love you and how lucky am I to have you with me always?’ she began her Instagram caption in Italian.

‘She continued in a combination of English and Italian: ‘Just feeling blessed to have you everyday with us amore mio grande,’ adding a heart emoji.
