in Miami, Florida on Friday where she got a bit of rest and relaxation in the sun.

The 50-year-old R&B great was seen showing off her sensational toned curves in a tiny string bikini while enjoying a luxury stay at The Faena Hotel.

The Be Without You singer seemed to be re-charging ahead of the holidays, as she has a very busy 2022 which includes the release of her 14th album Good Morning Gorgeous.

Good Morning Gorgeous Mary J. Blige hit the beach in Miami, Florida on Friday where she got her tan on and relaxed in the sun

Mary made her way to a beach chaise in a green and pink bikini which hit her curves in all the right places.

Her blonde locks were up in a top knot to beat the heat and she appeared fresh faced on what looked to be a solo outing.

The singer clutched her cellphone in hand and upon settling into a chair she slipped her reading glasses on her face.

She looked to be fielding several messages as she gazed down at her screen intently.

After getting a bit of sun she was seen putting on a stylish outfit that included jean shorts with a Gucci blouse and oversized sunglasses.

Mary has been staying in Miami for about a week and while in South Beach has been hanging out with some famous friends.

On Thursday evening she looked to enjoy a night on the town with a few ladies including radio host Angie Martinez.

In November she said she is no longer self-conscious about the way she looks and has learned to become her ‘own best friend’.

Speaking on talk show ‘Tamron Hall’, she added: ‘When I wake up with no hair and makeup, I’m accepting that chick that goes to the bathroom and I like her.

‘I hang out with myself a lot. I’m my own best friend.’

Mary also spoke about her divorce from manager Kendu Isaccs – whom she was married to from 2003 until 2018, before citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ – admitting that while she was ‘upset’, she ‘didn’t get bitter’.

She said: ‘I just kept moving and I didn’t get bitter. I was upset … I just let God take the wheel and do his thing because If I had done anything it would have been a disaster.’

Just last week the Grammy-winning artist released two tracks off her upcoming 14th album Good Morning Gorgeous including the song Amazing with DJ Khaled and her title track.

Her new album is set to be released just two days before she takes the stage at the 2022 Super Bowl LVI for the halftime show with Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Snoop Dogg.

‘It’s gonna blow everybody’s mind,’ she said of her new music during a November 29 chat with Tamron Hall.

She continued to say that the album’s title was an affirmation she forced herself to say routinely ‘when I was in the darkest moments in that life to build myself up.’

Her 14th studio album comes five years after 2017’s Strength of a Woman.
