Hitting the Surfers Paradise beach on Queensland's Gold Coast, the couple spent quality time with five-year-old Mia and one-year-old Lena.

Mike, wearing a pair of printed blue swim shorts, could be seen diving into the sea to cool off.

At one point, he carried a surf board into the water.

His daughter Mia also attempted to catch some waves with the assistance of her dad.
