Paparazzi captured the gang from afar as their friend crew parked themselves seaside.

Only Katy, 38, Orlando, 46, and one of their friends donned swimwear.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star had on swim trunks.

Meanwhile, the American Idol judge wore a two-piece brown bikini and a long-sleeved white button-down shirt over her arms.

All of the Fireworks crooner’s hair was tucked under a large straw hat.

The celebrity photography unretouched snaps showed Katy at ease, as well as her actual tummy.

Last month, candid photos of the award-winning performer looking like the average American circulated online.

In the photos, Katy got out of her car at a luxurious hotel.

AU NATUREL

The TV and music star handed over the car to her valet, and embraced a male friend who came to meet her at the vehicle.

Far from her high-fashion American Idol looks, Katy opted for a casual, comfortable outfit for the day.

She wore a baggy gray sweater, paired with loose lounge pants and fluffy sliders.

The pop star covered her dark hair with a bright orange “mama” hat, and added 70s-style red-tinted sunglasses.

Behind her shades, Katy went completely makeup-free, showing off her real skin without her blemishes edited or covered.

GOODBYE, IDOL?

An insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Katy is considering leaving American Idol in order to spend more time with her daughter.

The source said that the star had been mulling over her future for months.

And has spoken about her desire to spend more time with Orlando and continue her own musical career away from the show.

It was also suggested that Katy spoke about growing her family, and wanting a baby brother or sister for Daisy.

The source shared: “With both of them working so much on projects, time as a family is also very precious.”

They continued: “She’s spoken about wanting more sleep and feeling a lot more emotional than usual this season.”

Katy’s hesitation about joining American Idol’s next season may have a financial motivation, as her $30 million salary for American Idol, including the endorsement deals, is unlikely to be increased for the new season.

“The money she could earn from a few stadium gigs could eclipse the deal that ABC can offer,” the insider added.
