"Summer is ending, but sunscreen is forever (on my neck)," she wrote in her caption along with a sun emoji, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over the radiant snap.

"Beautiful as always! Love your hat! Yes, sunscreen is forever!" one wrote, as others followed suit with: "You always look beautiful," and: "Love love love your hat," as well as: "Great hat, hair, sunglasses, and outfit, Kyra!! Fantastic!!"

Earlier this year, during an appearance on the Today Show, she opened about her marriage to Kevin, and how they stay grounded. After host Hoda Kotb noted how the pair "don't feel like a Hollywood couple," Kyra said: "I don't know, I just… I was raised in New York, he was raised in [Philadelphia], you know, we brought our kids up in New York," and emphasized: "It's what we do, it's not who we are…  I think we've always just had the same priorities, which was like, keep your feet on the ground."

Touching on what their work lives are really like, she added: "It's not like it's been easy, longevity is hard, you have to keep on working on trying to get a job, so there's no fantasy of like 'Life is so easy and Hollywood is so easy and movies are so easy.'"

"I have no secrets except that you try to figure it out one day at a time and hope that they still want to hang out with you," she noted.

Moreover, asked if she and Kevin were "a united front" when it came to their parenting, she confirmed that they were  "for sure," and explained: "I don't think we planned it, I just think that we are similar in that way, like, 'This is important, this is less important,'" adding: "I really don't think we ever thought something very differently about the way to parent the kids, but also to discipline them or not discipline them."
