The Irish model recently jetted off to Spain with her husband Wes Quirke and their three kids, Sophia, five, and twins Hugo and Oscar, four.
Rosanna had been sharing snippets of the glamorous holiday with fans over on Instagram.
Today, the 41-year-old took to her page to share a series of snaps from the trip as it came to an end.
For their holiday, the family-of-five stayed at the luxurious all-inclusive Ikos resort in Mallorca.
In her post, Rosanna said they “found all inclusive brilliant for our children”.
She added: “The clear blue sea was perfect for sea swims and we all enjoyed the evening entertainment, from candlelit piano concerts to mini discos, dancing and magic shows.”
And on her social media Rosanna shared a heart-warming photo of her kids sitting peacefully entranced by the candle-lit piano performance.
In another snap, Rosanna posed for a photo from their hotel balcony, which had an incredible sea view.
The mum-of-three looked delighted as she lent against the railing posing in front of the jaw-dropping view in a full black jumpsuit.
As they got ready to go out one of the evenings, Rosanna’s husband snapped a candid photo of her with their kids.
In the black and white snap, Rosanna popped on a white and black polka dot dress and held her kids hands as they strolled through the hotel.
On a different occasion, glowing in the sun, Rosanna wore a fabulous summer print dress.

Friends and fans raced to her comment section to gush over the fabulous photos.
Geri said: “Looks like a fab holiday.”
Edwina commented: “You look so beautiful Rosanna.”

New shows tend to take some time to carve their niche and find an audience, and had networks not been patient enough in the past, shows like The Office and Breaking Bad would’ve never reached the heights they did. But in the streaming era, media giants, especially Netflix, tend to play hardball with new shows, […]

A POPULAR Britain’s Got Talent star looks VERY different in her new racy new role.
It has been 13-years since this performer found fame as part of a singing duo on BGT, and is now a West End star after splitting from her partner.
The star in question is Charlotte Jaconelli.
The singer, now 29, was just 16 years old when she auditioned for Simon Cowell as one half of singing duo Jonathan and Charlotte, alongside her friend Jonathan Antoine.
The singing pair won over the judges with their rendition of Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion’s duet The Prayer in their audition, and made it to the finals.
They eventually finished as runners up on the 2012 series, narrowly losing out on the win to Ashleigh Butler and her dog Pudsey.
Charlotte said at the time: “Oh my God, we came second. It’s incredible.”
Today, the performer looks a world away from her BGT days – and is now a megastar on London‘s West End.
In fact, she has revealed her next racy role which sees her transformed into a sex siren.
Announcing her big news, Charlotte shared a VERY sexy snap of herself in costume, as she gets ready to star in Burlesque The Musical.
The star shared some behind-the-scenes snaps, which included her in an eyepopping leotard which she almost spilling out of.
Her sexy look was completed with a pair of black tights.
Announcing her exciting news, Charlotte told her fans: “IT’S BURLESQUE! Meet Queenie – My theatre fairy god mother @todrick keeping me busy and singing notes as high as my heels.
“See you at The Savoy this summer to bring the iconic @burlesquethemusicaluk to the main stage.
“Hold your hats for the genius of @stevenantin & Miss Hall…it’s gonna be FABULOUS.”
After making a huge impression on BGT viewers, Jonathan and Charlotte, who first met when they were 11 years old at school, went on a UK arena tour.
The singing duo then recorded their first album, Together, in 2012 for Simon Cowell’s label Syco.
Their second album, Perhaps Love, was released a year later in October 2013.
However, the pair went their separate ways in 2014 after they were both offered solo record deals by Sony Deals.
But despite starting their journey together, Jonathan previously admitted that the duo were no longer as close.
Asked by ITV’s Lorraine if they were “still pals” in 2017, he admitted: “We don’t really get to speak very often but that’s the nature of it.
“You don’t really get the time to speak to your friends, my family comes everywhere with me and they’re my longevity.”
After going solo, Charlotte headed for the bright lights of the West End, and has since become a successful theatre star.
She made her debut in 2018 as part of the original cast of The Boy in the Dress.
Since then, Charlotte has appeared in Heathers: The Musical, and Sunset Boulevard alongside Nicole Scherzinger.

IF YOU have been asking yourself if something looked a little different in the sky today, you’re not wrong.
We all want some sun during the summer season, and it’s even better when it shines at it’s brightest.
But today, some may have been wondering if the sun appeared duller than usual.
If you were, you were right – the sun has not been shining at it’s brightest today for one big reason.
Louth Weather took to social media to share an explanation on the phenomenon.
Taking to Facebook, the page asked: “[Anyone] noticing how dull the sun is? It’s hardly casting shadows.”
Speaking about why this is, they added: “All due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires which has blown 6500km across the Atlantic.”
Many users took to the comments section to share their opinions on the news.
One person said: “Class.. that’s mad.”
Someone else added: “Yes you can see the difference. Just shows how small our world is.
“Thanks as always Louth Weather.”
Another wrote: “Wow! Thats incredible. Thank you Louth Weather.”
Someone else said: “Wow that’s amazing how far it can travel, thank you.”
Others shared snaps they had taken of the “beautiful, red sunset” over Ireland this evening, saying the stunning sight could also be attributed to the smoke.
One said: “Probably explains the amazing sunset.”
Another added: “I could notice the Canadian wildfires had an affect on the Sunset for most of this week!”
It comes as Ireland can expect mixed weather conditions over the coming days.
But it’s not all bad, as Met Eireann‘s Gerry Murphy said “warm and humid” temperatures will arrive in the middle of the week.
The weather expert said that the “low pressure” continues to dominate conditions this weekend.
It is expected that tonight will be mainly dry with clear spells but some showers may move into western and northwestern counties during the night.
Temperatures will drop to between 4 and 9C with light west to southwest breezes.
Tomorrow will bring sunny spells and scattered showers with the highest temperatures of 13 to 17C.
And during the night will be mainly dry with clear spells as temperatures drop to between 8 and 11C.
He added: “Looking to next week, much of Monday will be mainly dry with a good deal of cloud and some drizzle.
“The best of any sunny spells will be in southern counties, and then later in the day, more persistent rain and drizzle will develop in parts of Ulster and North Connacht.”
Temperatures will reach the highs of 13 to 17C with moderate westerly winds, and during the night, will bring further outbreaks of rain and drizzle.
Gerry pointed out that Tuesday will be similar to Monday, with mostly cloudy conditions, rain and drizzle.
However, in a major weather shake-up, Wednesday is set to be a “warm and humid day” with a good deal of cloud and patchy rain.
The temperatures will be at their highest of 18 to 22C.
