They have been enjoying a romantic trip to Noosa all week.

The happy couple were seen cuddling up as they relaxed by the pool, with Michael even straddling his legs over his girlfriend as she lapped up the afternoon sun.

The P.E Nation designer looked incredible in a sand-coloured one-piece by British brand Hunza G, which showed off her tan. 

She teamed the swimwear with a Mercedes brand cap and a gold necklace. 

Meanwhile, Michael flaunted his equally fit physique in a pair of boardshorts paired with a bucket hat.

He has also been proudly showing off his groomed pins in various pairs of shorts during his sun-soaked holiday.

While it’s less common for men to shave their leg hair than women, the look is not uncommon among males who live a sporty lifestyle – especially those who enjoy cycling and swimming.

Shaving off one’s hair can improve the aerodynamics of an athlete’s body, thereby helping the body to move faster.

While some men choose to remove their leg hair simply for aesthetic reasons, many athletes also shave their legs to avoid hair root infections and improve their skin’s healing process.

Speaking to The Guardian, professional cyclist Gerald Ciolek explained: ‘By shaving, you avoid the uncomfortable hair root infections that can be caused by our daily massages. Also, wounds simply heal faster after crashes and don’t get infected as easily.’

‘Not to mention that it just looks better,’ he added.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Michael for comment.

Pip and Michael confirmed their long-rumoured romance last week when they embarked on a holiday together on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

They brought along their children from previous relationships, and their families appear to be getting along swimmingly.

Pip and Michael began dating shortly after the former batsman’s split from model Kyly Clarke in September 2019, after seven years of marriage.

The pair had initially denied they were anything more than friends and business partners, but decided last week to go public.
