Leighton Meester relaxes with her children at the beach while husband Adam Brody looks ready to catch some waves in Malibu

They love to catch some waves in their free time.

But Leighton Meester and her husband Adam Brody looked like they were having a more low-key day at the beach when they were spotted together in Malibu on Saturday.

The 35-year-old Gossip Girl star enjoyed some quality time curled up on a blanket with her two children, while her 41-year-old husband put on a wet suit to go surfing.

Leighton looked vibrant in a beige patterned sundress showcasing her fit arms and legs.

She blocked out the sun with a large floppy straw hat and stylish round-frame sunglasses.

The actress was cooling down under and umbrella while chatting with a friend.

She was joined by her young son, who was born in September and whose name hasn't yet been publicly revealed.

Leighton and Adam also share their five-year-old daughter Arlo. 

Summer attire: Leighton glowed in a pale patterned sundress with a floppy straw hat and round-frame sunglasses, while Adam wore a wet suit top and pale red swim trunks

While she took it easy on the sand, Adam looked like he was itching to take a ride on some waves.

He had on a black wetsuit top that he regularly wears for surfing in the chilly Pacific water, though he swapped out the bottoms for pale red swim trunks.

The OC star also had on a bucket hat with a string to keep it tight on his head.

In December, Adam opened up to WSJ Magazine about how the couple have taken up surfing over the past year.

'A big part of our quarantine life is that my wife and I have been surfing our brains out,' he shared.

New sport: Adam joked in December to WSJ Magazine that they two had become 'beach bums' over the past year. 'A big part of our quarantine life is that my wife and I have been surfing our brains out,' he shared; seen together in 2019 in Culver City, Calif.

'My wife will come down with our son half an hour, 45 minutes after I’m up and join the party and we will check the surf on our phones. I’ve been off and on a lifetime surfer. My wife’s relatively new to it but is very dedicated. She is going surfing right now.

'Other new hobbies? Honestly, we’re just beach bums,' he joked.

Leighton revealed to Shape last year that Adam had introduced her to surfing, which soon became her favorite way to stay in shape.

'My husband also taught me how to surf, and in the last year, I got really into it,' she shared in her cover story. 

'I have found that when I don't have a physical result in mind when I'm exercising — it's not just about getting sore or getting abs or burning fat — I feel much more confident. I'm working on a skill, and that is so fulfilling to me.'

She added: 'Plus, being in the ocean is such a spiritual experience that you forget you're getting a real workout.' 

Coming soon: Last month, Variety reported that Leighton had landed her next big film role in the Netflix thriller The Weekend Away; seen in 2019 in LA

The couple, who have been married since 2014, were first introduced in 2010 while starring together in the film The Oranges, and since then Adam went on to appear in several episodes of Single Parents with her. 

Last year, he appeared in the critically acclaimed film The Kid Detective as well as the Oscar-winning black comedy thriller Promising Young Woman.

Meester, who most recently starred on the ABC sitcom Single Parents opposite SNL's Taran Killam, found her next big project last month with the announcement that she would star in the Netflix thriller The Weekend Away, according to Variety.

She'll lead the movie as a woman who jets off to Croatia for a weekend getaway with her best friend.

What should have been an idyllic vacation for the two turns into a nightmare after her friend turns up dead, leaving her as the prime suspect.

But even as she tries to clear her name, she dredges up painful secrets hidden between the two.
