PICTURE EXCLUSIVE Kristin Cavallari relaxes in a bikini as she hires a yacht to celebrate Jay Cutler's 30th

With three young children, Kristin Cavallari and husband Jay Cutler don't get much time alone together.

So with Jay's 30th birthday as an excuse, the couple decided to leave the kids at home for a rare trip with friends.

And they certainly seemed to be enjoying every moment, as the pair stripped off to their swimwear for a day under the Mexican sun.

And Kristin certainly didn't spare an expense, even hiring a yacht for the day.

Once onboard the mother-of-three showed off her killer body in a tiny black two-piece, which she teemed with a white hat as she strolled around the deck.

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay seemed to be having a blast, larking around with his pals, diving overboard into the azure ocean and showing off his muscles with a spot of paddle boarding.

Kristin was seen occasionally picking up her mobile phone - perhaps to check in with the babysitter - before settling back to enjoy the setting, cocktail in hand.

Following her successful evening, the shoe and jewelry designer revealed to her fans that she was leaving Emerald Duv, the accessories line she started in 2015 with friend Chelsea Bulte.

'I've decided to launch my own jewelry line, and since I was solely designing the past collections at Emerald Duv, it will have a similar aesthetic: effortless, timeless, and refined,' she shared with fans from her Instagram account.

'I'm hoping to have my new line launched by April but stay tuned!!'
