90s TV icon who was married to bikini bombshell seen with kids on rare Father's Day outing... can you guess who?
The actor shares two children with his ex - a bikini bombshell who turned heads in the 1990s and 2000s as well.
The French-born actor launched his career in one of the biggest TV franchises of all time and also starred in another massive TV drama.
Despite his impressive credentials, he hasn't acted in a film or a television series in more than a decade.
He has since turned his focus to the successful business that he runs, far from the Hollywood spotlight though still based in L.A.
Can you guess who it is?
It's none other than David Charvet, who started his acting career back in 1992 as Matt Brody on one of the biggest TV shows of all time - Baywatch.
He played Brody for four seasons, appearing in 70 episodes before leaving the show in Season 6 in 1996.
After leaving Baywatch he signed on to star in another hit series, Fox's Melrose Place, where he played Craig Field over two seasons, appearing in 40 episodes.
He dated Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson from 1992 to 1994 but he ultimately settled down with another beauty - Brooke Burke, who he shares his two children, daughter Heaven, 18, and son Shaya, 17.
Charvet was spotted with both of his children at Malibu Park at Cross Creek for a Father's Day outing.
The actor was wearing a grey sleeveless shirt with tan shorts and white and black Nike running shoes, while donning black sunglasses and a silver watch.
His daughter Heaven rocked a grey off-shoulder shirt, very short black shorts and white sneakers.
His son Shaya opted for a black t-shirt, black shorts and white sneakers for the outing with his sister and father.
The actor opened up about leaving his acting career behind in a 2022 interview with Page Six, where he revealed he simply did not want to leave his family.
'Before I had my first child I was traveling for five years in 42 countries doing concerts for my music,' he said.
'There's no way I could do that again. I had to find a different meaning to my life,' he added.
A 2006 incident with a contractor building his Malibu home ultimately lead to the business he now runs, The Jones Builders Group, which builds between 10 and 14 houses a year in Los Angeles.
After firing the contractor and taking over the job himself with the contractor's 'good guy' project manager, he found people marveling at his work.
'We finished the house, and every time that we invited people over… they were like, "My God this house is so beautiful. Do you think you could do it again?"' Charvet recalled.

Chad Michael Murray makes rare red carpet appearance with his wife Sarah Roemer and their two lookalike eldest kids at the Freakier Friday LA premiere
Chad Michael Murray made a rare red carpet appearance with his wife Sarah Roemer and their two eldest kids at the Freakier Friday LA premiere on Tuesday night. The One Tree Hill actor, 43, and actress Sarah, 40, share three children - a 9-year-old son, a 6-year-old daughter and a daughter they welcomed in August 2023. Though they have never revealed the names of their kids, the two eldest were enjoying a fun night out at the premiere. Chad looked smart in a light pink jacket and dark trousers while his lookalike son wore an equally smart suit. Sarah dazzled in a flowing green halterneck dress and matched with her daughter who wore a sweet dress in the same colour. Chad and Sarah wed in 2015 and keep their family life mostly out of the spotlight, opting for a low-key lifestyle. The One Tree Hill actor, 43, and actress Sarah, 40, share three children - a 9-year-old son, a 6-year-old daughter and a daughter he welcomed in August 2023 Last year Chad sweetly revealed that their daughter has already watched his iconic 2004 rom-com A Cinderella Story. He told E! News: 'I came home from work and I saw my wife and my daughter sitting in bed. 'I said, 'What you watching?' Right away I knew, she loved it.' He has also previously opened up about their simple family life - even revealing that their children are homeschooled. Chad explained: 'I'm really good at staying under the radar these days. My wife and I, we don't go to the quote-unquote 'cool' places.' 'We have our own life, we have our dogs, we have our lifestyle that we truly enjoy, and we've got a cabin if we want to get away and go camping. 'I feel very good about my private scene. I'm going to do everything I can to protect my family and go from there.' Meanwhile Lindsay Lohan made a rare red carpet appearance with her husband Bader Shammas at the world premiere of Freakier Friday, which was held at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. The 39-year-old former child star has never publicly confirmed undergoing a face lift like The Kardashians matriarch Kris Jenner, but her features looked noticeably more taut than they did seven years ago. When asked directly by ELLE in May about plastic surgery rumors, Lindsay scoffed: 'I'm like, when? With what time? Where?' 'My skin changed after having my son [Luai]. It got really sensitive,' Lohan explained. 'That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything. I did blood tests, and I was like, "I want to know everything I'm allergic to." So I cut everything out. That's kind of when everything started to change for me.' For the purple carpet, the Mean Girls star donned a rhinestone-strapped pink Miu Miu gown and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry selected by stylist Andrew Mukamal. Lohan was also joined in Hollywood by her onscreen mother Jamie Lee Curtis, who was wearing a red long-sleeve mini-dress. The close castmates - who've kept in touch over the years - hit the stage to speak to the gathered crowd of excited fans during the film festivities. The SAG Award nominee and the 66-year-old Oscar winner executive produced and reprised their roles in Nisha Ganatra's mother-daughter swap sequel Freakier Friday, which hits US/UK theaters August 8 It's hard to believe it's been 22 years since Lindsay and Jamie portrayed Anna and Tess Coleman in Mark Waters' critically-acclaimed remake of Freaky Friday, which amassed $160.8M at the global box office.

Shia LaBeouf settles sexual battery lawsuit with FKA twigs, four years after she accused him of abuse
FKA twigs has officially ended her legal battle with ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf, nearly four years after filing a high-profile lawsuit accusing the actor of abuse. According to court documents, the British singer, 37, has requested the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the actor, 39, which means she cannot bring the case back to court at a future date. The lawsuit, filed in 2020, sought $10million in damages and alleged sexual battery, assault, and emotional distress during the couple's relationship. The two began dating after meeting on the set of LaBeouf's 2019 semi-autobiographical movie Honey Boy, in which Twigs was cast. In a statement to attorneys for both parties confirmed the matter had been resolved privately. 'Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court. While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future,' the pair's respective attorneys said. LaBeouf was represented by Shawn Holley while Twigs hired Los Angeles-based lawyer, Bryan Freedman, who is currently also defending actor Justin Baldoni in his legal battle against Blake Lively. Twigs's original complaint included several disturbing allegations, including claims that LaBeouf knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease and once threatened to crash a car with her inside. She also alleged he physically assaulted her at a gas station following that incident. LaBeouf denied many of the allegations, but issued a public statement at the time of the filing, acknowledging his history of harmful behavior. 'I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations,' he told The New York Times. 'I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt.' In March 2024, twigs detailed the aftermath of her relationship with LaBeouf in a candid Vogue interview. 'I think naively I thought it would be like any other break-up, that I'd be sad for six months to a year, and then one day I'd wake up and everything would be fine,' she said. 'But the fact is being abused changes the whole of your nervous system. Because my window of tolerance is now much smaller than it used to be, my body manifests stress in quite extreme ways – it really shows me when it's upset.' Twigs filed her lawsuit against the star with a slew of explosive allegations, which the actor finally addressed in 2022, although the singer slammed his 'gaslighting'. In response to her explosive allegations, LaBeouf branded his ex a 'saint' and recalled how she 'saved' his life and inspired him to wake up and take responsibility for his actions. Meanwhile, twigs called their relationship 'the worst thing I've ever been through in my life.' During his appearance on Jon Bernthal's podcast, Real Ones in 2022, LaBeouf said: 'I hurt that woman. And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman. 'I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centered, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being... When I think about what my life has become, and what it is now, like what my purpose is now... I need to be useful.' Among her allegations, twigs accused Shia of violently attacking and choking her, knowingly infecting her with an STD, and physical and verbal violence. But LaBeouf, who has since been diagnosed with PTSD and alcoholism, insisted in 2022 that he is in a better place now. He explained; 'I'm in the tribe of the f***-ups. I'm a very public sinner, a very fallible person in the public sphere. What I think now my purpose is, is to not do… 'The other examples that we've had of how to navigate something like this — which is to go after the woman, or try to win a court case, or get back into a f***ing movie or like get back on at all... 'My purpose, and I mean this with every fiber of my being, is to be instructive with my life, so that I can be an advertisement, like a billboard, for a principled way of living.' In her Vogue spread, FKA elaborated on the depths of her pain, writing: 'I've had to be very compassionate with myself and really listen to myself to get better... 'Now I want to challenge myself to know more about the simple, most pure and important things: love, nature, food, a nontoxic lifestyle, my body. The path I'm on is not the pastel pink yoga leggings aesthetic.' Since then, she has found love with Jordan Hemingway, with whom she went public in March 2023. While speaking about her new romance, she gushed: 'I've kissed a few frogs to get there but I feel that Jordan listens to me and opens me up in a way that no one really has ever been able to.' 'When I'm with somebody who's not in the public eye in the way I am, I'm conscious of everything I can do to make that situation as comfortable as possible because I've been on the other side of it,' she explained. 'And it's really not nice. Right now I feel so ready to stand up for things that I believe in, to protect people who I love.' Meanwhile, LaBeouf is married to actress Mia Goth, with whom he shares a daughter named Isabel.

Venus Williams, 45, confirms engagement to actor partner, 37, as she rolls back years to win first match in TWO YEARS
VENUS WILLIAMS rolled back the years last night to win for the first time since August 2023. The seven-time Grand Slam champion, 45, surprisingly accepted a wildcard to return in Washington DC this week. 7 7 Williams last played at Miami in March 2024 and did not have a single ranking point going into this week. The WTA Tour veteran looked like she'd never been away as she defeated world No35 Peyton Stearns, 22 years her junior, 6-3 6-4 in front of a raucous night session crowd. In doing so, Williams became the second-oldest woman to ever win a singles match at tour level, only behind Martina Navratilova, who did so at 47-years-old. The American legend won her first tour-level match 31 years ago, aged just 14. After her historic triumph, Williams revealed on court that she is engaged to actor partner Andrea Preti. The tennis icon said: "My fiance is here and he really encouraged me to keep playing. "There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? "You guys don't know how much work goes into this, like it's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 7 7 "Lifting weights and just like dying and then you repeat it the next day. So he encouraged me to get through this and it's wonderful to be here. He's never seen me play." Williams is also playing the doubles event in DC this week. Partnering Hailey Baptiste, Williams beat Eugenie Bouchard and Clervie Ngounoue 6-3 6-1 to advance to round two. Speaking about partnering Baptiste, Williams poked fun at her retired sister Serena. She said: "I think from the first point I could see that we were going to be a good team. "We just should have started playing earlier, years ago, right? I think Serena was just in the way." Williams and Baptiste will be back in action later today, as they take on No2 seeds Taylor Townsend and Zhang Shuai in the quarter-finals. The veteran will then return again for the singles tomorrow, taking on Poland's Magdalena Frech. Williams has entered the revamped US Open mixed doubles event, which also featured Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, alongside pal Reilly Opelka. The two-time US Open champion could also look for a singles wildcard at Flushing Meadows. 7 7
