Leighton Meester splashes around the ocean blue during surf session in Malibu

Leighton Meester zipped herself into a full wet suit and headed off to the beach to get in a bit of surfing.

She could be seen laying on her front across her surfboard while riding a small wave back toward the sand during her day out. 

The 34-year-old actress’ outing comes less than a month after her husband Adam Brody confirmed they have welcomed a baby son.

Leighton and Adam, who married in secret in 2014 after a relationship neither had discussed in public, also have a five-year-old daughter called Arlo.

News of her second pregnancy went public in March when she was spotted out and about with a visible baby bump.

Then last month on a Twitch show called The Fun Time Boys Game Night Spectacular Adam confirmed that they had welcomed ‘a dream boy.’

They met on set of their 2010 movie The Oranges and also could be seen in the film Life Partners the year of their wedding.

Adam also had a guest shot on Leighton’s ABC sitcom Single Parents which was canceled earlier this year after two seasons.

Leighton revealed to Shape last year that Adam had introduced her to surfing, which then became her principal way to work out.

‘My husband also taught me how to surf, and in the last year, I got really into it,’ she shared with the magazine which she also covered. 

‘For the last six months, surfing has pretty much been my main form of exercise,’ said Leighton, who shot to fame on Gossip Girl. 

‘I have found that when I don’t have a physical result in mind when I’m exercising – it’s not just about getting sore or getting abs or burning fat – I feel much more confident. I’m working on a skill, and that is so fulfilling to me.’

The Forth Worth-born actress added: ‘Plus, being in the ocean is such a spiritual experience that you forget you’re getting a real workout.’
