It's not the first time this week Rose has lit up Instagram with her whimsical holiday postcards. The star shared several stunning snaps from her recent stay at the Hard Rock Hotel in the Maldives with a friend, just a few weeks after splitting from her long-term partner of nearly ten years, Sam Arnold.
Since the split, Rose has been seen surrounding herself with friends on social media.
