Matching beach bodies: Marc Jacobs flaunted his incredibly toned beach body as he walked along the St. Barts sand with his equally muscular ex-fiance Lorenzo Martone today


In 2007, Marc Jacobs walked onto the catwalk of his own fashion show to reveal the dramatic transformation he had made to his body.

The famed fashion designer lost weight and toned up by eating only vegan food and training two hours a day, seven days a week.

And today he showed that he's still keeping in great shape, especially at 48-years-old, by flaunting his incredibly ripped beach body as he walked along the St. Barts beach with his equally muscular ex-fiance Lorenzo Martone.


The pair each wore tiny swimming shorts, with Marc in a navy pair and Martone in a nautical red, white and blue stripe brief.

They also showed off their tattoos, including Marc's infamous playful M&M and Spongebob Squarepants inkings and Martone's classic scripture.

After their stroll, the former couple who have appeared to have perhaps rekindled their love, retired to some sun lounges on the sand.

They draped them with matching monogrammed Louis Vuitton towels, neon with one of the label's signature Stephen Sprouse graffiti design.

Martone particularly went gaga over the eight-month-old blue-eyed baby boy, who looked cute in a white all in one.

His 40-year-old mother as always looked chic in brown and white printed maxi-dress which she paired with a black wide-brimmed hat.

Playful: Later the former couple appeared to be indulging in some silly dance moves


Later Marc covered up in a pair of cool board-shorts, presumably from his own line, and a black singlet.

Martone playfully held up his arms as the pair indulged in some silly dance moves.

The pair's appearance on the French island might be a sign that they are getting back together after splitting last year.

The engaged couple called it quits with Martone announcing the news via Twitter in July 2010.

'thanks for t notes. yes, I saw t press today,' he wrote. 'We are not together, haven’t been in 2 months. And we will not comment on it. Sorry. We r fine'

What a transformation: Marc showed that he has continued to keep in shape following his dramatic transformation of his former self, pictured here left in 2003


The duo got engaged at the beginning of March 2009.

Marc attributed his incredible body transformation to an organic diet and grueling fitness regime.

In 2007, he told NY Daily News: 'I’m eating a totally organic diet, which has no flour, no sugar, no dairy and no caffeine, and I lost weight because of that diet and because of a two-hour exercise regimen seven days a week.'

He told the publication that he was aware that people would jump to conclusions about how he lost weight, especially in the fashion world.

'You’re going to get a bunch of blogs saying: "He must be on meth in order to be that skinny compared to 10 months ago."'

As well as his slim-downed appearance the previously pale Jacobs obtained a tan and swapped his glasses for contact lenses.
