After their swim, the loved-up pair climbed the ladder back onto the pier and made their way up to the hotel.
Simon and Yasmin have been in France for the Cannes Film Festival, which runs from May 13 until May 24.
On Thursday, Simon reunited with bandmates John Taylor and Dom Brown for a show-stopping performance at the amfAR Gala.
His band Duran Duran closed the night with their electrifying hits 'Notorious' and 'A View to a Kill.'
Earlier in the evening, Simon arrived with his glamorous wife Yasmin, who stunned in a sleek champagne satin suit.
Simon looked equally sharp in a classic white dinner jacket paired with black trousers.
It comes after Yasmin how admitted a career walking the catwalks left her in chronic pain and 'very depressed'.
The star was just 17 when she was spotted by a model scout and went on to sigh with Models 1 Agency in London after leaving school.
Over the course of her career she became the face of Versace, Chanel and Dior and graced the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Harper's Bazaar to name a few.
Reflecting on her years in the industry Yasmin explained the profession has led to her suffering crippling back pain for many years.
Speaking in an interview with Hello Magazine she confessed she has 'paid the price' physically.
The star explained: 'I've had times in my life where it has become really, very depressing when I couldn't walk without pain, couldn't do anything and it's really hard.'
She added: 'I feel for anybody who's had back pain or is going through it.
'I think it's a mental thing as well, getting through the fact that maybe you're going to have to live with a certain amount of pain.
'You can do that, you just have to change the way you do everything.'
Yasmin described how she would often be doing balletic leaps across sets while wearing stilettos which nobody would do now.
Meanwhile the fashion icon also opened up about how she always had to be on her guard for predatory behaviour and thanks her strong personality for keeping her out of uncomfortable situations.
The star admitted there were a few instances that could have 'gone differently' as she explained: 'I think after those two instances, anything that made me feel in any way out of control, I made sure never happened again.... I think you can't give an inch.'
She explained how photographers would try to test you and push you psychologically to get you to do a job or see if you would be tough enough for it.
Yet she stayed true to herself and confessed that even in her younger days she had a no nonsense attitude.
Yasmin has also always had her rocker husband Simon by her side after the pair married when she was just 21.
She shares three daughters with the Duran Duran frontman. Amber, 35, who welcomed her first child at the start of this year, Saffron, 33, and 30-year-old Tallulah.

K.O. (2025) Ending Explained – Does Leo survive the gang?

K.O. Plot Summary The premise of K.O. clings to all the usual tropes you'd expect from a flick like this, jumping straight into the action. Here, we follow aspiring MMA fighter Bastien, who finds himself in the ring with his bitter rival, Enzo. The pair go toe-to-toe in a relentless and pretty brutal sequence that immediately sets the tone and mood for the rest of the movie. Bastien's fight ends in tragedy when he counters a triangle hold into a full-on slam to the mat. Enzo's head crunches against the canvas, and unfortunately, he passes away as a result. Guilt-stricken, Bastien hangs up his gloves and disappears into exile. Fast-forward two years, and our reclusive hero is called back into action by Enzo's widowed wife, Emma. Her son, Leo, has gone missing after getting mixed up in the drug trade, and it seems he may be the target of some particularly nasty gangsters. With a bullseye on his back, Leo is in big trouble—and Bastien feels a moral obligation to do right by Emma. Who are the rival gang? Bastien heads off to find out the truth about Leo's whereabouts, where he winds up indirectly working with Captain Alaoui. The rival gang are called the Manchours. They're vicious and a lot of people are scared of them. They're fronted by a man named Abdul, a relentless gangster determined to grow his empire in Marseille – no matter the cost. Alaoui loses her badge thanks to getting too aggressive with a couple of gang members outside. She teams up with Bastien to get info on Leo's whereabouts, and they soon realize that he has valuable intel that could take down the Manchours. This explains why the gang are so interested in the kid – and why they want him dead. What is driving Alaoui and Bastien to fight so hard? Alaoui lives alone and doesn't have a partner. She's consumed by her grief though, still torn up over the passing of her brother. She has a history with the Manchours, stemming from her childhood. She grew up in the same neighbourhood as the gang and her brother began working with kids on the street. Unfortunately, when the Manchours started dealing drugs and getting the kids involved, her brother pissed them off badly. In fact, one night they tied him to a chair and burned him alive. Even worse, they sent the video to Alaoui and disappeared, until a year ago when they returned. They're smart and always one step ahead, building a criminal enterprise in Marseille – which Alaoui is determined to stop. What happens at the police station? After reuniting with Leo and a tense chase sequence at the apartment complex, the group make it back to the police station where Bastien explains why he's doing all of this. His father passed away when he was a kid and since then he was angry at the world and lashed out. Bastien chose fighting as an outlet and the irony is, this accident has caused Leo's father, Enzo, to die. He recognizes that Leo is going down a dark path and although Bastien didn't mean to kill the fighter, he feels responsible for making sure he steers the kid in the right direction. Bastien was lucky, having surrounded himself with good people and managing to turn a corner, away from a potential life of misery and crime. Who is the mole? Leo reveals in his police interview that the Manchours organized a big meeting with their contacts. Leo was new and shouldn't have been there but he showed up anyway. Here, the Manchour gang met with Andalou and his gang – the same guy we saw earlier tortured for the whereabouts of the drugs earlier in the movie. This was all a trap, organized by Andalou's contact. Leo saw Abdel Manchour kill a man right in front of him but unfortunately, was spotted spying on them and he decided to run. Leo got freaked when he saw the cops because that informant working with the gang happens to be 'The Cop'. It's here where Alaoui realizes there's mole in the midst… and it happens to be Vasseur. He immediately stabs Benoit in the neck before he's shot down. This explains why Leo never went to the police – he didn't trust them. Who survives the final fight? Outside, shots are fired at Sebastopol and the surrounding areas, sending officers out to check. Unfortunately, this leaves the station severely lacking in staff, prompting the Manchour gang to come in all guns blazing and shoot the place up. Alaoui does her best to fight back but Abdul is leading the charge. Through the fighting, Alaoui and Abdul wind up duking it out while Bastien handles Abdul's right-hand man, Driss. Bastien just about comes out on top while Alaoui kills Abdul after stabbing him in the eye and driving this through his skull. With police heading back, the gang breathe a sigh of relief after coming out in one piece. How does K.O. end? Leo is finally free and no longer hunted by the (presumably defunct) Manchour gang, while Emma is reunited with her son. It seems he'll now have a way of handling and channelling his anger, courtesy of Bastien's guidance too. As for Bastien, he intends to head out and carve a new name for himself, deciding that it's time to find something new to fight, looking out at the sunset ready for another day. Read More: K.O.

Newly-single Romeo Beckham cuts a sombre figure as he heads out in Paris following shock split from Kim Turnbull

Newly-single Romeo Beckham cut a sombre figure on Friday night in the wake of his split from Kim Turnball. The son of David and Victoria Beckham, 22, was photographed out in Paris where he was seen looking a little downcast while out and about in the City of love. Despite his recent heartbreak, fashion conscious Romeo looked typically stylish in a black oversized Champion jumper and casual jogging bottoms as he walked down the street, looking intently at his phone. He gave his outfit some added swag with a beanie hat, chunky trainers and added a white T-shirt which peeked underneath his jumper. Earlier in the day, Romeo seemed to put his troubles behind him, as he was spotted enjoying the tennis. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The former Brentford footballer watched the Men's Singles Semi Final match between Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Lorenzo Musetti of Italy on Day Thirteen of the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros. Romeo, who is a keen tennis player himself, having received lessons from Andy Murray and former female number one Caroline Wozniacki, could be seen smiling and clapping along to the tense game, as he watched from the sidelines. For the match - which saw Alcaraz through to the final on Sunday where he will play Jannik Sinner - Romeo wore an all black suit jacket and trousers, which he paired with a black T-shirt. He accessorised with an array of silver rings and earrings and his neck tattoo could be seen on display. It comes following the news of his split from Kim Turnball, after seven months together. Friends said the couple went their separate ways after the romance ' fizzled out' three weeks after David's 50th birthday. Romeo first publicly launched his relationship with Kim last November after weeks of exchanging flirty 'likes' on Instagram however despite being warmly welcomed into the family, the relationship seems to have now run its course. The pair still follow each other on Instagram and friends told The Mail that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola Peltz for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart. One said: 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them. 'David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case. 'The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives.' It comes following the news that dad David is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List after being snubbed for years. The former Manchester United and England star, who recently celebrated his milestone 50th birthday, will be confirmed as a 'Sir' when the list is released next week, according to The Sun. His wife and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham will be known as Lady Beckham. The tattooed ex-England captain last month chatted with King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, with their bond reportedly growing close in recent years through their shared love of gardening. The 76-year-old monarch was heard congratulating the former England footballer on his landmark celebrations – and asked the star whether he had received their present. Standing outside the Highgrove stand run by the monarch's charity, the King's Foundation, Beckham – who is now an ambassador for the organisation – greeted the sovereign warmly and said: 'Your Majesty, it's so nice to see you.' Astonishingly, Charles then appeared to ask whether he had received the birthday present that he and his wife had sent. 'You got it, didn't you?' he asked. 'It was incredible,' beamed Beckham. 'Thank you, it was very kind.' Camilla added: 'Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses.' David, an avid royalist since he was a schoolboy in Chingford, has long craved for a knighthood and it appeared to be within his grasp having received an OBE from the late Queen in 2003.
