The 38-year-old star was seen treating her two children - six-year-old daughter River Rose and four-year-old son Remington Alexander - to a day at the beach in Santa Barbara on Saturday.

The family bonding day comes just four months after Kelly and Brandon Blackstock filed for divorce after almost seven years of marriage.
