Jaime King enjoyed quality time with her kids this weekend.

The “Hart of Dixie” alum gave her Instagram followers a glimpse of her “Sunday Funday” visit with her two sons, James, 11, and Leo, 9.

“Today … with my babies,” she captioned the carousel, which kicked off with a video of one of her children sticking his head out of a car window.

King, 45, posted a snap of the boy’s sibling in the back seat before ending the slideshow with a smiling selfie.

She wore an orange sweater in the upload, keeping her hair pulled back from her face.

The model’s post comes on the heels of her ex-husband, Kyle Newman, obtaining sole physical custody of James and Leo.

While the former couple share legal custody, the filmmaker, 49, has tie-breaking authority in deadlocked decisions.

The exes were married from 2007 to 2020 and did not disclose custody details when they settled their divorce in 2023.

However, InTouch Weekly reported in October 2024 that Newman had requested King be ordered to stay away from the children, claiming his ex was “strung out” and “drunk” while parenting.

King lost custody earlier this month after failing to complete six months in rehab, as well as a parenting program and individual counseling.

Instead, she has been granted visitation with her kids three times a week under supervision of her mom, sister, brother-in-law or Newman’s brother.

“She’s not handling this well,” a source told the US Sun of the “devastated and embarrassed” actress.

King gave birth to James and Leo in 2013 and 2015, respectively, with Newman later claiming in court docs that their youngest son was born addicted to opiates due to the star allegedly abusing them while pregnant.

Leo is Taylor Swift’s godson — although the pop star, 35, and King reportedly no longer speak.
