Her little butterfly! Rebecca Gayheart's daughter Billie

She's a doting mother to her two little girls Billie, three, and 14-month-old Georgia, regularly seen  out with both of them.

But Rebecca Gayheart carved out some special time for her older daughter on Thursday.

The 41-year-old looked relaxed in an over-sized sunhat as she held Billie's hand after fetching the tiny tot from a play date in Beverly Hills, California on the sunny afternoon.

 

Bonding time: Rebecca Gayheart walked hand-in-hand with her older daughter Billie after the three-year-old had her face painted at a friend's house on Thursday in Beverly Hills, California

Billie, whose father is Grey's Anatomy actor Eric Dane, looked cute as a button with her face painted like a butterfly and her colourful turquoise outfit.

The little blonde girl was barefoot as she proudly walked next to her famous mother, who appeared thrilled to be enjoying the bonding time with her daughter.

Rebecca covered up her curves in an over-sized tunic paired with cropped jeans and brown brogues.

What's that? Billie looked curiously at the ground as her 41-year-old mother flashed a smile for the camera

 

The actress protected herself from the sun with the large sunhat and sunglasses, and carried a massive pink bag.

Her highlighted brown hair fell in waves over her shoulders, and she accessorised with a few colourful bracelets.

Although Billie is already three, Rebecca couldn't help picking her up for a cuddle as she put her into the back of the car.

Billie flashed a huge grin, clearly enjoying the one-on-one attention from her mother.

According to Rebecca, Billie is a 'good big sister' but is still getting used to not being an only child.

She told People in December:  'She knows how to steal the spotlight.

'(Billie) is a spitfire. We call her my spirited, challenging child because she’s just full of fire.

'Everyone thinks she’s four. You know, having full-on conversations and taking over her preschool.'

The newest addition to the Dane-Gayheart clan is very different however.

'(Georgia) is like my little Buddha baby. She’s sweet and happy all the time. She truly is just the sweetest baby on the planet.

'She’s a gift.'
