 The Rainbow singer showed off her toned frame in an orange one shoulder bikini with a matching floral sarong around her hips. 

She nuzzled her near his cheek and softly smiled while holding him close. Schafer also looked blissful as he smiled at the camera while wearing an aloha shirt and shorts with a series of silver pendants. 

Other snaps she shared included a selfie of her in her glamorous hat and a brief video of her on the water where she skirted around details of her new album.

Relaxed: Kacey seemed to not want to think about work while on her vacation though she coyly alluded to the prospect of a new album with a video 

Her last album Golden Hour was released in 2018 for which she won Album Of The Year at the Grammys. 

Her upcoming album is said to feature about 15 tracks and has been completed with a release date projected for sometime in the late summer or fall. 

Kacey was first linked to Cole — a poet and founder of copywriting agency Honey Copy — on June 19, when they were spotted holding hands and kissing in NYC. 

On June 22 he made their relationship Instagram official when he shared a polaroid of her kissing him on the cheek. ‘I’m trying like hell not to write about her,’ the writer captioned the photo.

Old flame: Prior to Schafer she had been dating Nashville based doctor, Gerald Onuoha but they were last photographed together in April 

Prior to Schafer she had been dating Nashville based doctor, Gerald Onuoha — her first relationship since her marriage with Ruston Kelly ended last summer after three years of marriage. 

She and Onuoha were last spotted out together in April, but by the time she had been photographed with Schafer she had already unfollowed him on Instagram.   

In a May interview with ELLE she spoke about the heartbreak of her marriage ending despite feeling ‘broken’ inside, throughout parts of it.  

‘I could have coasted for another couple of years, just not paying attention to my feelings or not really dealing with some things,’ she said of taking a hard look at the marriage.

‘I felt, in many ways, on top of the world in my career, but in my personal life, I felt like I was dying inside. I was crumbling. I was sad. I felt lonely. I felt broken,’ she confessed.
