Bagging rays: The sunny vacation came a week after Hilary and Luca spent a snowy Christmas in Canada 

Later, she shared a photo to her Instagram showing Luca grinning as he tucked into a Hawaiian shaved ice treat.

He sported a black baseball cap with a yellow Smiley on the front and a black singlet with the logo 'Relax' across the front.

Hilary was 22 when she wed her now ex-husband and gave birth to their son two years later.

She and Comrie split in 2015 and their divorce was finalized in February.

Beach chat: The single mom was also seen deep in conversation with Luca

Currently starring in TVLand's sitcom Younger, she has previously spoken about feeling 'guilty' when she's busy focusing on her career now she's a single mom.

She's also said motherhood has limited the kind of Hollywood roles she's offered.

'I feel like I was judged for having a baby too soon and getting married too soon,' the 29-year-old star said during an appearance on TV's The Talk a few weeks ago. 'Now I'm pigeonholed for being a mom.'

She shared a message in the sand that read: 'Everything is going to be awesome'.
