They've enjoyed a well-earned relax at home in Los Angeles with their families over the festive period.

But Kate Upton and her fiancé Justin Verlander looked as though they'll be spending New Year's Eve on a sun-soaked holiday as they jetted off from LAX on Thursday evening with their beloved pet pooch Harley by their sides.

The model, 24, kept her famous curves under wraps in a low-key ensemble of a nude blouse and cropped jeans as she arrived at the airport with the two men in her life.

Jet-setters: Kate Upton and her fiancé Justin Verlander jetted off on a new year break from LAX on Thursday evening with their beloved pet pooch Harley by their sides

Looking cheery at the prospect of getting away from it all for a few days, the Sports Illustrated bombshell kept things comfortable in a pair of flat cream Gucci loafers.

Kate wore a pair of shades and had her blonde locks scraped back from her naturally pretty make-up free face as she strolled inside the terminal.

The Other Woman star completed her jet-set look with a chocolate brown leather satchel bag, and toted the rest of her belongings in a backpack.

Detroit Tigers baseball star Justin, 33, kept things equally casual as he prepared to fly away for the weekend, teaming a navy long-sleeve top with light grey denim jeans.

The couple have spent Christmas at home with Justin's parents, enjoying a low-key festive period.

The sportsman posted a snap of the quartet hiking in the Hollywood Hills on Christmas Eve as they prepared to over-indulge the following day.

Kate announced Justin had popped the question at the Met Gala in New York City in May, when she flashed a dazzling diamond ring on the red carpet.

She told E!: 'I'm really excited, he asked me right before season started so we've been keeping it on the down low for quite a while.

'So I'm excited to finally be able to share it with the world!'

The couple started dating in 2011 and Justin designed Kate's stunning eight-carat diamond engagement ring, which is worth an eye-watering $1.5 million, himself.

After announcing their engagement in May, the couple made another big commitment by splashing out $5.5 million on singer Kenny G's former mansion in Beverly Hills.

The 5,000 square feet residence features five bedroom and six bathrooms in an East Coast country style home.

Aside from a luxury kitchen and sumptuous living areas, it also features a swimming pool, hot tub, and tennis court.
