Minnie modeled a peekaboo one-piece swimsuit that offered a glimpse of her impressively svelte midriff as she gamboled about the water.

She wore her dark hair down and seemed unafraid to get it soaked. 

Though she welcomed Henry into the world in September 2008, she kept his father's identity a secret from the public until 2012.

Henry's father is Timothy J Lea, a producer who had worked on Minnie's short-lived show The Riches co-starring Eddie Izzard.

The actress has been in a relationship for some time with art writer Neville Wakefield, and told Ellen DeGeneres last year: 'I've known him since I was 17, 18?'

Minnie explained: 'He was a really good friend of my boyfriend, and he and I became really good friends, and they didn't - it didn't work out, and then he married somebody else, and we had this whole life in between.'

Minnie, Neville and Henry live in a Hollywood Hills home so English in style that she told Elle Decor: 'Everyone who walks in here says that they expect to find the queen in the loo.'

Neville was not pictured with Minnie, Henry and their beach companions during their seaside outing this Tuesday.

During her March 2017 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Minnie confided that little Henry 'was a very unattractive baby.'

'So I know what it's like to have to go: "You don't have to tell me that he's beautiful, 'cause he - I know he's not, but I love him."'

When Ellen asked: 'Does he know he was an unattractive baby? Have you told him that?' Minnie quipped: 'Well, he's gonna know now, isn't he?'

Ellen said she had been 'a very unattractive baby' as well. 'I was extremely fat and didn't have hair for two years,' she shared with her guest.

Minnie pointed at herself and replied: 'Same as me and the same as my son.'

She said of Henry: 'He didn't have hair for two years, and then he got a crazy amazing blond Afro, which is incredible, beautiful.'

A year after her baby was born, she waxed rhapsodic to Cinema Blend about 'the love. The unquantifiable love. It just takes my breath away.' 

Unconditional affection: She shared: 'So I know what it's like to have to go: "You don't have to tell me that he's beautiful, 'cause he - I know he's not, but I love him"'
