Jessica Marais shows off her strength as she lifts heavy weights at the gym

Jessica Marais has been working hard on her fitness.

And on Tuesday, the 36-year-old actress was spotted working out at the Sweat1000 gym in the Sydney suburb of Coogee.

She looked focused as she lifted a hex bar with a couple of weight plates on it.

The blonde beauty, who starred in Channel 10 series The Wrong Girl, dressed for the sweat session in a white T-shirt with blue leggings and grey trainers. 

The candid image, shared by the gym on their Instagram Story, also featured a very flattering sticker that said: ‘Super Heroes.’ 

Jessica’s show of determination at the gym comes after she reunited with her ex-boyfriend Jake Holly for a beach date on the weekend. 

In the photo, they posed close together, and appeared relaxed in each other’s company.

In 2019, Jake moved to the United States, however he has since returned, and has maintained a friendly relationship with his ex.

In August last year, the Packed to the Rafters star shared a photo with Jake to Instagram, where they nestled in close to one another at a Sydney beach.

Jake was believed to have been supporting her as she mourned the death of her mother, Karen.    

Jess was previously engaged to actor James Stewart, but they split up in 2015 after they met on the set of Packed To The Rafters in 2009.

During their relationship, they welcomed daughter Scout, now eight.

In 2014, Jessica spoke about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

‘I was diagnosed at one point with bipolar. I have developed ways to talk myself down from any ledges I find myself on,’ she told The Australian Women’s Weekly.

‘There’s probably one day a month when I am an absolute mess. In my case it’s hard to separate what is due to trauma or stress and what is due to a simple chemical imbalance.’
