Penelope Cruz dresses down in cosy sweater and beanie hat as she enjoys a low-key day at the park in Madrid with her children Leo and Luna

She's had a busy start to the year promoting her big screen appearance in Zoolander 2 and shooting a new movie.

But on Wednesday, Penelope Cruz enjoyed some well-deserved down time with her two children Leo, four and Luna, two at a Madrid park.

The Spanish beauty showed off her natural beauty, wearing cosy winter wear as she played with her children.

The 41-year-old actress ditched the glam in favour of a loose-fitting black sweater teamed with jeans and a pair of cosy, furry boots.

She pulled a slouchy beanie hat over her loose dark locks, and appeared to be going makeup free for the day out.

A hooded coat finished off the look, as the star, who is married to fellow actor Javier Bardem, cuddled up to her son in the park and chatted with pals.

At one point the Hollywood star slipped on some shades and took a seat on the curb to check her phone, with the talented actress juggling life as a mum to Luna and Leo and her busy career.

Speaking to the Guardian last September, Penelope explained just how much being a mother has changed her world.

'The biggest feelings I have ever experienced come from the way my children look at me,' she gushed.

'Being a mother is seeing life from a different point of view, as if you were a child again. Even your relationship with nature changes; it's like you can see a tree through new eyes,' she added.

Penelope is currently enjoying some time back home in her native Spain as she shoots comedy-drama The Queen Of Spain

The forthcoming film marks the third collaboration between Oscar-winning writer-director Fernando Trueba and the actress, following Belle Epoque and 1998's The Girl Of Your Dreams, the latter serving as a prequel to the new movie.
