Gayle King, the CBS Mornings anchor, and her niece, Mekenzye Schwab, continued their offbeat Thanksgiving tradition of a swimsuit photo shoot, now in its sixth year.
King shared a series of glamorous photos on Instagram, revealing the evolution of this quirky tradition that began as a playful jest back in 2017.
The journalist, 68, and her niece gathered in Cancun, Mexico, for this year's installment. They showcased a variety of swimsuit styles and picturesque locations.
From posing on a hidden beach path in yellow one-piece bathing suits to shots on a boat staircase in black and white swimwear, the photos captured their adventurous and fun-filled spirit.
King shared moments of her mimicking Schwab's lounging pose, embracing vibrant one-shoulder halter swimwear, and engaging in playful shots, including humorous close-ups. The series culminated in steamy shower photos, with both King and Schwab drenched under cascading water.
Schwab also shared the same photos on her Instagram, along with candid shots of herself and King, adding a touch of humor by playfully acknowledging the challenge of keeping up with her aunt's energy in the photoshoot.
This tradition, born from jest, has transformed into an annual bonding experience for King and her niece, showcasing their closeness and sense of fun during the Thanksgiving holiday.
