Suki Waterhouse has shared a photograph of her lounging by the pool wearing a bikini just four months after giving birth.

The actress, 32, who welcomed a daughter with actor fiancé Robert Pattinson in March, posed by a pool in a red string bikini.

The image was one of a string of snaps shared by Waterhouse. The others were taken at a luxury hotel, including with her and two friends lounging on sunbeds with bowls of fruit.

“Not enough time in the world for the amount of berries and books I wish to consume,” the star captioned the post.

Her fans and celeb pals swarmed the comments with praise for her post-baby figure, including Paris Hilton.

The post also included snaps of Waterhouse's summer reading choices, Liz Phair’s Horror Stories: A Memoir and Jackie Wang’s Alien Daughters Walk Into the Sun, along with a selfie and another poolside shot with model friend Sadie Newman.

On her Instagram Stories, she posted another bikini photo.

In a recent interview with British Vogue for their August cover story, Waterhouse revealed she cried when she found out she was having a girl.

"I wish I hadn't wanted to find out, but I needed to prepare myself mentally," she said, adding that she called her mother "in a flood of tears" upon learning the news.

She also told the publication that she had a “shocking” realisation when she found out how often her baby needed to be breastfed.

Waterhouse said: “Every two hours. I was alarmed in the hospital when they kept waking me up. I was like, Excuse me? Is this what this entails?

“He was there with me and like all dads, he was really nervous, but for someone who’s quite an anxious person, he’s been very calm.”

She also said she had undertaken minimal preparation for the baby, taking no antenatal classes, instead opting for baby books which she did not get time to read.

The Hammersmith-born model said: “I really had no concept that there was a baby inside me. Like, I knew that was the case, but I was like: ‘What do you mean? That’s insane.”

Back in April, she also discussed her postpartum experience on Instagram.

"The fourth trimester has been… humbling!" she wrote.

"The postpartum period has been filled with exhilarating joy, so much laughter, tears, so many hormones!"

"I’m proud of everything my body has achieved and proud of the kindness and grace I’ve given myself during this recovery period."

The Daisy Jones & The Six star and Pattinson have been together since 2018.
