When on dry land, Tamara strolled along in woven sliders, while chatting on the phone, and opted to forgo a face mask. 

The South African-Italian model styled her raven locks into effortless waves and enhanced her natural beauty with a flawless make-up look.

Completing her summery ensemble, Tamara wore a woven boater hat, which boasted a black trim, and accessorised with delicate bracelets. 

Gossip Girl star Ed kept things casual for the outing, teaming a white T-shirt with striped linen trousers and a denim flat cap, with a red face mask for their boat journey.

The trio visited Varenna, where they strolled around and stopped for an ice cream before heading to their boat to enjoy the sights of Como.  

Ed went public with Tamara during a Los Angeles outing in October, after insiders claimed the couple had been dating for weeks.

A source told The Sun that Tamara is a hit with Ed’s close-knit family: ‘Tamara’s head over heels with him and Ed is proud to tell everyone Tamara is his girlfriend,’ the insider claimed.

‘His friends and family all approve and think they’re a great match.’

Tamara – who boasts 206k Instagram followers – has been keeping her fans up to date with her recent travels, posting smouldering shots and cosy selfies with Ed. 

Their holiday came after fans of the hit series Gossip Girl were eagerly anticipating a secretive announcement from Ed, though they were ultimately disappointed.

Ed teased on his social media platforms, ‘Got a little something for you…Tomorrow 1pm.. Hint….xoxo’ with an XOXO graphic that was the way the mysterious Gossip Girl ended each message.

Many fans thought the announcement was that he was going to return as his character Chuck Bass in the new sequel/soft reboot series that’s happening on HBO Max, but instead he announced a new line of face masks with the XOXO logo.
