Hollywood veteran Heather Graham was spotted living her best life in the tropical paradise of Tulum, Mexico, last week, where she attended a yoga retreat alongside Saturday Night Live alum Molly Shannon. The 56-year-old actress, famous for roles in The Hangover, Boogie Nights, and Drugstore Cowboy, showcased her lithe figure in a series of skimpy string bikinis, including red, striped, and ivory two-piece swimsuits, as she relaxed on the shore in photos shared to social media.
Romantic Getaway with New Boyfriend
In her Instagram caption, Graham expressed gratitude for her new romantic partner, Italian-American director Michele Civetta, 49, who joined her on the trip. "Grateful that @mcivetta came to hang out. It was so fun swimming, laying on the beach and dancing with you," she wrote. The couple was seen kissing last week, confirming their relationship status. Civetta was previously married to Italian actress Asia Argento from 2008 to 2013, with whom he shares a son, Nicola, and had more recently been linked to DJ Alix Brown.
Annual Retreat and Personal Reflections
Graham revealed that she visits the Souk Studio in Tulum, Quintana Roo, annually at the same time, making this yoga retreat a cherished tradition. She praised the experience, stating, "So grateful I got to go on a yoga retreat with the amazing @soukofrima_ and @mjmasala in beautiful Tulum." The actress, who has practiced yoga for decades, also highlighted the culinary delights of the area, name-dropping restaurants like Arca Tulum and Hartwood Tulum, and credited brands like Vuori Clothing and Dandy Delmar for her yoga and swimwear attire.
Past Relationships and Life Choices
Graham's ex-boyfriend is snowboarder John de Neufville, though the timing of their split remains unclear. In a 2023 interview with People, she explained her preference for dating outside Hollywood, saying de Neufville's perspective helped balance her career-focused life. "Sometimes your job becomes so important to you, and then you realize there's so many other things in life that are happening. It's not all about the movie business," she shared.
The actress, who has never married or had children, calls this a liberating choice that allows her to focus on her career. She likens her film projects to children, noting, "I do sometimes feel like my projects are little kids; I have started to get more involved in producing and writing and directing." Graham added, "I don't feel that I'm missing anything," and expressed gratitude for her enduring career in an industry where many struggle to find work.
Social Media Highlights and Group Dynamics
Alongside Civetta and Shannon, Graham enjoyed time with friends like @theofficialsuperstar and @susanna.p.campbell, celebrating Molly Shannon's "bad a** handstand" during the retreat. Her hashtags included "spiritual" and "fun," reflecting the rejuvenating nature of the getaway. The group photos showed a mix of women and men participating in the yoga sessions, with Graham appearing relaxed and joyful in various outfits, from floral print dresses to stylish hats and sunglasses.
As Graham continues to embrace life on her own terms, this tropical escape with her new beau underscores her commitment to wellness, romance, and career fulfillment, all while sharing glimpses with her fans through heartfelt social media posts.
