Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Brad Falchuck were spotted out with their celebrity friends in Santa Barbara this week.
On Monday the 53-year-old movie star and 54-year-old TV writer were spotted walking along the beach arm-in-arm.
They were joined by Jerry Seinfeld, 71, his wife Jessica Seinfeld, 54, plus their kids: daughter Sascha, 25, and sons Julian, 22, and Shepherd, 20.
Larry David, 78, was also part of the gathering, which took place as new details emerge about the horrific deaths of their friends Rob and Michele Reiner.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm appeared to be in great spirits as he laughed while soaking up the quality time.
Paltrow was clad in an olive green puffer vest, cream sweater, black leggings, and green weather-resistant booties.

The longtime friends and collaborators chatted each other up
It comes after the performer, who stars in the new Timothee Chalamet-led movie Marty Supreme, said she was ‘petrified’ to return to a movie set.
She appears in the Josh Safdie film after a seven-year hiatus, and admits she had doubts about whether she would be able to perform at her best.
The Academy Award-winning actress said on Entertainment Weekly’s The Awardist podcast: ‘Acting is so weird. It’s so hard to explain how you do it. It’s not a skillset that… it’s not a trade that you learn and you get onboarded into how to do something.
‘It’s so weird and ephemeral and kind of magic. So I was like, how did I used to do this? And am I still going to be able to do this? Am I going to be able to access all that stuff and energy and in the moment?’
Paltrow plays a former movie star, Kay Stone, who is similarly preparing for a comeback in the film.
She explained: ‘[There] was a scene where [Kay] was on stage rehearsing a play, and the camera was kind of off in the audience. And I learned in the theatre, and so I was like, oh, okay, well I’m on stage and I can just sort of feel my way around here.’
The Shallow Hal star added: ‘Unfortunately, I haven’t done a play now since before I had a kid, so, like, 2002. But I did a million plays, and it was always like my touchstone.
‘When I want to feel purpose, when I want to feel the real value and art of what we do, I would always go back and do a play. Right after Shakespeare in Love, I went back to Williamstown and did a play. That’s just been my thing. So it was, for me, a really profoundly kismetic thing that my first day back I was on stage.’
The Seinfelds’ three children were also present – daughter Sascha, 25, and sons Julian, 22, and Shepherd, 2
The group was completely engaged in conversation
Jessica wore a black sweatshirt, leggings, and matching baseball cap
Paltrow’s alter ego strikes up a romantic relationship with table tennis player Marty Mauser (Chalamet) in the film.
And the Goop founder spoke of the importance of ‘parity’ between the two characters.
She said: ‘It’s like game recognizes game. “You’re a hustler. I know you. Don’t f*** with me, don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes.”‘
The Hollywood vet explained, ‘It was very important for me to feel that parity with him so that when they had scenes together, it was almost like a relief that nobody was really in their essence.
‘And it was clear that it was a transaction and she wanted something from him and he wanted something from her, which was kind of another layer of sad, but also there was the ancillary benefit of her, I think, feeling alive again.’
The women shared a laugh while watching their dogs play. Jessica, an author, wore a beige-colored crossbody bag
The beach outing came just ahead of the Christmas holiday
The entertainment industry vets couldn’t stop smiling
Last week, while appearing on Good Morning America, Paltrow discussed her headline-making kiss with Chalamet.
The moment was seen by millions when photos of them went viral after they filmed in midtown Manhattan last year.
‘I play a retired movie star in the film, who Timothee is sort of… tries to… I think he tries to get her sheen to rub off on him in more ways than one,’ she told hosts Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.
Recalling her friends’ reactions to the steamy smooch, she said, ‘You should have seen my mommy group chats when the paparazzi pictures came out of us kissing in the park. All the moms were pretty stoked.’
And earlier this month, in conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, she admitted her 19-year-old son Moses was embarrassed to see her kiss the much younger actor.
‘My son was like, “Oh my God, I don’t want to see this.” He was kind of mortified,’ she shared.
