She's often accused of lying about her age.
But for once the infamous 'teen bride' Courtney Stodden acted like a girl of 19 on Thursday.
Leaving the stripper heels at home, she did cartwheels on the beach, before making a call on her pink cell phone.

But it appeared Courtney, who underwent a breast augmentation last year, could perhaps do with investing in a new bikini.
Her gold two-piece looked slightly too small for the blonde.

But that didn't worry Courtney.
Carefree she skipped, jumped and threw herself in the air, high above the sandy surface.

The newly single reality star allowed her bleached locks tumble down around her shoulders in a breezy side parting.

The cartwheel began with Courtney plotting out her runway, before launching herself head first into the sand below to perform the childhood trick.

Once the stunt was over, she beamed with pride and flung her hair back, turning to make sure the shutterbugs definitely got it on record.

At one point, Courtney kneeled down in the soggy sand by the shore and proceeded to make mud pies as she chatted on her bright pink cell phone.

Courtney is best known for marrying 51-year-old Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison in 2011 when she was just 16.

The couple signed a separation agreement in November after appearing on VH1 reality show, Couples Therapy.

Courtney recently revealed that Doug rejected her offer to sign a prenuptial agreement.

In an interview with website TooFab.com, she said: 'I did offer him a prenup but he did not want to sign one.  He said, 'I don't want to do that because I trust you and we're getting married.' So we've talked about what we want to do financially now.'
