In one photo, Elyse wrapped a tan sarong around her hips, and accessorised further with a beige round-rimmed hat.
Her signature blonde locks framed her face and shoulders in relaxed beach waves, and she appeared to have gone without makeup.
In another picture, Elyse sidled up to Josh, who cut a casual figure in a blue T-shirt, shorts and cap.
