Vanessa Bauer sizzles in a skimpy metallic bikini during moonlit swim as she jets off on romantic trip to Bali with her new boyfriend James Rowe
Vanessa Bauer sizzled in a skimpy metallic bikini as she shared an album of loved-up holiday snaps from her romantic trip to Bali with her new boyfriend James Rowe.
The professional figure skater, 28, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a series of eye-popping snaps of herself showing off her incredible figure in the racy two-piece.
She let her beachwear outfit do all the talking as she kept her accessories minimal while striking a series of sultry poses during her moonlit dip in the sea.
Vanessa also shared a sweet picture of her cuddling up to her new boyfriend James while they enjoyed a meal together.
The couple were later seen watching the sun rise as they sat next to one another on the beach.
Alongside the post, she penned: 'liquid or frozen, happiest by the water (once I've eaten) thanks to a kind stranger @momohead_ for taking the covert last picture from a far, this was such a beautiful moment.'
Vanessa went public with her James in December as she shared a series of loved-up Instagram snaps from their trip to Lapland.
James is a football coach and FIFA-licensed football agent. He retired from professional football after playing for Reading FC, Cheltenham Town and Aldershot Town.
Alongside the sweet carousel of snaps, Vanessa took the opportunity to reflect on her father's death in 2021, claiming she has now got to a place in her life where she feels 'the happiest I've ever been.'
'A pull between feeling the happiest I've ever been but the moment I fly home for Christmas a different reality kicks in,' she added.
'I believe that the pulls between my upbringing, our families' loss and the beautiful life I get to live now is not a burden but in a way it can be seen as a blessing.
'And I certainly am grateful for my family and the 25 years I got to know my dad.'
She continued: 'Perspective has created the person I am now, to keep me grounded, driven, to know life in its many different ways and remain resilient.'
'Gratitude is an understatement and I'll retain the discipline to keep growing my luck.'
'Anything is possible and love and magic truly is everywhere (love heart emoji).'
In June last year, Vanessa split from her boyfriend Dan Underwood after just nine months together after sources claimed they had drifted apart.
While Vanessa wanted to focus on her career, she and Dan remained friends, and the pair continued to still follow each other on social media.
A source told The Sun at the time: 'Vanessa and Dan are still on good terms and are friends, but their job takes them to different parts of the world and they have struggled with the distance.'
'They realised they better off as friends for now, but still have a lot of love and respect for each other.
'Vanessa is busy with her career and is focusing on herself and her acting right now. While Dan is busy travelling the world for work, so it's been difficult to maintain something long-term.'
She and Dan previously made their romance official in September 2023, when they posed for snaps together at the premiere of The Creator.

No European football a 'kick in the teeth' for Drogheda fans
Fans of Drogheda United have described the club's expulsion from European football as a "kick in the teeth".The Irish Premier Division club was expelled from the 2025-26 Uefa Conference League under a rule which states two clubs in the same competition cannot be under the same multi-club football organisation also own Danish side Silkeborg who also qualified for the competition. Drogheda United's appeal against the dismissal was rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) on Monday. 'It's a farce' Fan Dave Carabini said he is "deflated, numb and frustrated" by the announcement on Monday."It's a farce," Mr Carabini faced Shamrock Rovers on Monday night, hours after the announcement by Cas but this did little to dampen the mood. Mr Carabini said he had "never seen the ground rocking so much"."We will back the team no matter what." Jake Davies described Monday as a "very sad day" but support shown at the game made him "proud to be a Drogheda fan". Mr Davies added that the decision left him "shocked"."I had never been to a European game with Drogheda before," he said."We need to start thinking about multi-club ownership and next year we have to be prepared."Mr Davies said the owners of the club have done a lot of good for the club, but he "doesn't understand why they would buy Silkeborg". 'European nights are what everyone dreams about' Eoin Reid said he was "absolutely sickened" by Monday's announcement. "Europeans nights are what everyone dreams about."Mr Reid said that the feeling in the town is "mixed"."There was a weird, electric atmosphere around the town on Monday. People didn't really want to talk."But he added that when it came to the match the fans got behind the team. Local football reporter, Barry Landy said it had been "a funny couple of weeks". "There has not been to much anger from fans at the owners, but more a sense of defiance with anti-Uefa and anti-FAI chants at the game against Shamrock Rovers."Fans are standing strong."He added that the owners have been "fairly transparent".Mr Landy added that Drogheda are a club "on the up" but there is a "mood of deflation". Why were Drogheda expelled from Europe? Uefa rules mean the lower-ranked team, in this case Drogheda, are excluded from the qualified after winning the FAI Cup in November 2024 as a semi-professional side. However, Silkeborg's seventh-place finish in the Danish league outweighs Drogheda's ninth place in the League of Ireland Premier bought Silkeborg shortly after Drogheda's FAI Cup triumph. In a statement, Drogheda expressed their "great heartbreak and disbelief" at the Cas decision."We strongly disagree with this decision, and had hoped and believed that the principles of fairness and common sense would prevail," the club said."After months of engagement, constructive dialogue, countless hours of legal preparation, and multiple proposals based on frameworks that have been accepted in the past, we have come up short."Despite genuine and vocal support across the football world, the ruling did not fall in our favour. We are heartbroken by the outcome."Uefa advanced its assessment date to 1 March rather than June, but the Cas panel found that this change had been properly communicated by Uefa and that Drogheda ought to have known about it.A majority of the panel also rejected Drogheda's submissions on alleged unequal treatment by Uefa.
