Spencer Pratt is licking his wounds from a political loss in paradise with his wife Heidi Montag by his side.
A week after being eliminated from the race to become the next mayor of Los Angeles, the reality star-turned-aspiring politician, 42, has travelled to Hawaii for production on his wife's new music video.
Now miles away from the city he sought to lead, Pratt managed to crack a smile as he savored quality time with his wife.
The couple looked stronger than ever as they strolled on a beach together on Sunday, cool drinks in hand.
But the trip wasn't all play with Montag, 37, also busy shooting the video to her song Summer Love - and the scenes certainly looked steamy as she writhed around the beach in a white lace dress.
The setting is a world away from City Hall in downtown Los Angeles - a place Pratt was hoping to inhabit.

In the days after the primary election, the reality of Pratt going head-to-head with incumbent mayor Karen Bass seemed like a reality until progressive challenger Nithya Raman pulled ahead in the vote count, eliminating him from the race.
Former reality star Pratt decided to run for the office after his family lost their home in the Palisades during last year's wildfires and has not been shy about his displeasure with the local government.
Montag had yet to publicly address the loss but on Sunday she took to X to express her adoration for her spouse.
'I couldn’t love my husband more and be more proud of him. What an inspiration, what a hero,' she tweeted.
Pratt had remained in second place in the election until last Sunday, when Raman overcame his lead as California officials continued to count mail-in ballots.
The following night, the Associated Press announced that Raman will advance to a runoff election against incumbent Democrat Mayor Karen Bass - officially making Pratt the loser.
In California, the top two vote-getters advance to a November runoff election regardless of party.
Pratt, who once appeared on the reality television show The Hills, shook up the race, turning it into a vengeance campaign against Bass after losing his $3 million home in last year's Palisades fire.

He got a boost from user-created AI videos and his own team's creative ads, in which the reality veteran pledged to be a change agent to tackle the city's massive homeless problem.
Over the course of his campaign, Pratt drummed up plenty of celebrity support.
Frasier's Kelsey Grammer was among the Hollywood supporters, telling Fox News Digital: 'He's the only guy that's a real option'.
Dennis Quaid echoed his sentiments, as when asked why he was supporting Spencer, he told Fox: 'Why? What are you talking about? Why? Just look around, man.'
Katharine McPhee and David Foster helped Spencer raise funds for his race, throwing him a fundraiser earlier this year.
