They were married last month in a small and intimate ceremony at their seafront home in California.

And now newlywed lovebirds LeAnn Rimes, 28, and Eddie Cibrian, 37, are taking time out to celebrate their union, with a romantic honeymoon at the ultra exclusive Esperanza Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Lapping up the sun, LeAnn took the opportunity to show off her incredibly slim and muscular body in a sand-coloured rhinestone bikini.

There was not an inch to pinch on the country music singer, who has recently come under fire for her significant weight loss.

The tiny two-piece also accentuated her golden tan and showed off the tattoo etched on her muscular abdomen.

Husband Eddie was certainly enjoying the view, clutching onto his new bride as he tried to coerce her into the ocean.

The couple playfully ran around each other, with Eddie chasing the singer on the sand.

The smitten couple later enjoyed sunset drinks at a jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, while Eddie rested his hand delicately on his wife's toned thigh.

As always, LeAnn took to Twitter to express her happiness.

'What a gorgeous morning! It's a great day to be alive!!!' she wrote.

The couple flew out of Los Angeles yesterday for their holiday.

LeAnn showed off her tiny frame in a pretty pink playsuit as they made their way through airport security.

She displayed her extremely toned legs in the short patterned piece which she wore with a structured cream jacket.

She finished off the look with a pair of black peep-toe wedges, black Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and a tasselled crocheted Chanel handbag.

Eddie was dressed in a pair of cream chinos and a navy shirt and also sported a pair of dark glasses as he made his way through security.

The American actor didn’t look too impressed when he was asked to hand over his watch as he went through security and was seen pulling a face at LeAnn.

But the singer didn’t get off any lighter herself, and was asked to take off her towering heels as she passed through the scanner.

LeAnn and Eddie exchanged vows in front of 40 guests at their seafront home in Malibu, California, in late April.

The country singer wore a Reem Acra gown that was slashed to the thigh and carried a large white bouquet.

The groom, who appeared to wipe away tears as they said 'I do', opted for black trousers, a white tuxedo jacket and open-collared white shirt.

Their garden was decorated in rose petals and pillows that included phrases 'My whole heart for my whole life' and 'L & R', adorned the outdoor furniture.

Following the wedding, LeAnn flew to Toronto for work commitments

She was in the Canadian city to film TV movie Reel Love about a successful, city girl who returns to her small town roots after a family emergency, only to find friends and romance.

There was speculation that the singer had gone on a pre-wedding diet as she appeared to have lost a considerable amount of weight.

Some onlookers suggested that she had taken it too far.

LeAnn has shrugged off speculation about her weight, saying she is 'so over' reports that she is too thin.

Last month she wrote: 'I do not work out too much nor do I starve myself. I'm so over this and moving on.'

When her weight loss first made the news earlier this year, she claimed the pictures had been doctored to make her look thinner than she actually was.
