Claudine Keane in Sardinia
Claudine Keane has shown that she is a WAG who knows how to enjoy a holiday during her time under the sun in Sardinia.
She was joined by her Tottenham Hotspur football star striker Robbie Keane, 29, after the end of the Premier League season, which saw his team finish fourth.
The 27-year-old looked tanned and toned as she relaxed on sun loungers at the Porto Cervo holiday resort with their 13-month-old son Robert, who was parked in his buggy, hidden from the glare of the sun.
The blonde former Miss Ireland contestant donned a tiny white two-piece bikini with green sequins, showing off her deep tan perfectly, and set the look off with a pair of mirrored aviator shades.
The doting parents took little Robert out of his buggy during the holiday to enjoy the sunshine and he joined them on the loungers - and Robbie even had a kick around with a football.
Claudine, who has a first class degree in economics and finances from University College Dublin, lost her baby weight after giving birth last year naturally - saying she did not exercise more or diet.
It is not hard to see why the family chose Sardinia as their holiday destination: the island, which is located closer to Africa than Italy, remains unspoiled by tourist developments and has a laidback atmosphere.
A popular choice for the rich and famous, Sardinia - the second largest island in the Mediterranean - boasts a national park, while its interior is blessed with forested mountain peaks, citrus groves and sleepy agricultural land, the home to grazing cattle and sheep.
It is not the ideal choice for those seeking the excitement of city life: its towns are uninspiringly modern, while others, such as the medieval Bosa in the west, have made no effort to embrace modernity - but look all the more picturesque for it.
History fans, however, will love Sardinia. Alghero in the north has a deep Catalan history and its city centre is full of architecture representing its rich cultural heritage.
Meanwhile, food fans will not be disappointed with the Italian cuisine they will find in the island's restaurants, full of hearty pasta and smoked ricotta dishes.
However, for those hoping to sneak off to Sardinia during the school holidays a rethink might be in order - this is when the island is at its hottest and busiest.
A June visit, in the style of Claudine and Robbie, is much more advisable.
