Jessica Gomes stuns in a black swimsuit as she soaks up the sun at a Sydney beach with actor Thomas Cocquerel

Jessica Gomes sent temperatures soaring on Sunday when she hit the beach in Sydney with her actor boyfriend Thomas Cocquerel.

The Sports Illustrated model, 38, showed off her fantastic physique in a figure-hugging black swimsuit with a square neckline.

With her black hair soaked in salt water and stylish sunglasses on her face, the stunner strutted her stuff alongside 34-year-old Thomas on the beach.

Meanwhile, Thomas wore just a pair of black shorts that showed off his muscular body.

His dark hair was combed back and a light five o’clock shadow added to his rugged charm.

At one point, Jessica and Thomas cooled off by jumping into the ocean and looked like they were having the time of their lives as they paddled in the water together.

In the past, Jessica has been open about being labeled “too curvy” by the fashion industry in her early days as a model.

She said Stellar magazine in 2021 how an encounter in 2006 left her feeling deeply demoralized.

Jessica, who is of Portuguese, Singaporean and Chinese descent, attended a casting call in New York City, where the director sighed and poked her breasts after dressing her in an outfit.

“I felt really bad about myself,” Jessica told the magazine. ‘I was knocked back by a lot of fashion brands because I was too curvy.’

In retrospect, the rejection turned out to be a blessing, and Sports Illustrated booked her soon after.

After more than twenty years of modeling, Jessica is now busier than ever, not only fronting fashion campaigns, but also in business and acting.
