Bikini-clad Kate Mara gets a kiss from shirtless hunk Jamie Bell as they enjoy a romantic weekend away in Mexico

They were recently forced to deny that they were engaged.

But hot Hollywood couple Jamie Bell and Kate Mara couldn't deny that they were still blissfully loved up this week as they holidayed in Cabo, Mexico.

Billy Elliott star Jamie, 30, put an endearingly goofy display, dancing around and entertaining his bikini-clad girlfriend, 33, as they spent a playful day at the pool.

Romantic weekend: Kate Mara and boyfriend Jamie Bell put on a playful display as they holidayed in Mexico this week

The former child star showed that his Fantastic Four training had done wonders for his physique as he unveiled a ripped torso in swimming trunks.

But equally, the British-born moviestar proved that his movie schedule had left him sun-starved as he prepared to tan his torso, effectively, with a blank canvas.

The couple, who are consistently caught out for 'his and hers' matching attire, this time co-ordinated in classic black swimwear.

Virtually inseparable, the couple chatted away while he swam and straight after, Jamie couldn't wait to be reunited with the beauty and greeted her with a kiss.

Jamie and Kate were joined by a male companion who shared in their laidback card game and even a playful dance at the poolside that afternoon.

Jamie proved his dance training was still with him, 16 years after he found fame as a young boy with dreams of becoming a ballet dancer in Billy Elliott.

The duo have now officially been dating for a year, but speculation of romance circulated since the promotional tour of 2015's Fantastic Four. 

They sparked engagement rumours this March when she arrived at Paris Fashion Week wearing a ring on her fourth finger.

Denying reports, Jamie and Kate simply told E! News 'no' when asked if he had popped the question just under a year into their relationship. 

She played the Sue Storm to his Ben Grimm alongside co-stars Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan and the acting pair have rarely been seen apart ever since.
