Rachel Bilson in Barbados

She has been developing a nice tan whilst holidaying in Barbados with her fiance Hayden Christensen.
And it appears that Rachel Bilson is keen to keep deepening her hue.
The 31-year-old just covered her bikini body as she went shopping and for some light lunch with her beau over the weekend.

The live-in acting couple, who met on the set of Jumper in 2007, split in mid-2010 before reconciling a few months later.

Rachel recently revealed she hopes soon to start a family.

In an interview with May's Cosmopolitan, she said: 'I definitely have family on the brain. Having kids is something I want to see in my future – I hope.’

The actress also shared that she tries her best to be the best girlfriend possible.

I’m a really good girlfriend – I always put all that first in my life. I’m definitely the person who would make him his favorite dinner to come home to,' she says.

'I love to cook, so we make dinner at home a lot and watch movies.'

The second season of Rachel's medical sitcom Hart of Dixie airs every Tuesday night on The CW until May 7.

In the show, Rachel stars as Dr. Zoe Hart, a Yankee who moves to Alabama to take over her father's medical practice.

Meanwhile, the Star Wars stud will next appear in the action flick Outcast with Nicolas Cage.

The Last Kiss star will next be seen in the comedy The To Do List, due out August 16, starring Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Alia Shawkat, and Andy Samberg.

The fashionista was once the target of the Bling Ring, a group of fame-obsessed teenagers who robbed a slew of celebs for their high-fashion wardrobes in 2009.

The real-life gang of thieves robbed her of $130,000 worth of jewelry and clothing more than three different times between April and May 2009.

Oscar winner Sofia Coppola helmed the teenage heist flick, The Bling Ring, which comes out June 14.
