Arthur and Brian welcomed their newborn baby girl Blu back on June 23, a sister for one-year-old daughter Blake.
And Arthur's mum Maria was on hand to mind the two tots as the pair headed on holidays for a few days.
After posting a video of themselves dancing and trying on different clothes in Ibiza online, the couple received some backlash in the comments.
One comment said: "You guys are great, but you've just had a new baby, you should be minding it at home."

Another added: "I'd never, as a mother, leave a 6 week old baby to go to Ibiza."
While Shelly commented: "We all need a break from our kids, I get it, but not at six weeks for me."
And as the pair returned home to their little ones last night, Arthur shared a clip of himself feeding Blu and relaxing in their living room.
The 44-year-old looked thrilled to be reunited with the tot.

The celebrity choreographer made sure to hit back at the negative comments online as he wrote in his caption: "Life is beautiful and short so live the way you want to, and remember no one can dictate who you are or what you do.
"If you don't look after yourself, trust me, seriously, no one else will. Everyone has their own lives and they will carry on living, no matter what.
Brian and Arthur touchdown in Ibiza
"Make memories, time flies. Oh, and, last but not least, enjoy every minute unapologetically, because you owe nothing to anyone and no one owes anything to you. GOOD NIGHT."
The dad-of-two finished off his video by giving a serious look to the camera as he continued to feed baby Blu.
Yesterday, Arthur paid an emotional tribute to his mum Maria as she turned 76.
'ALL MY HEART'
The dancer posted a stunning throwback snap of Maria as a young girl.

The photo was in black and white and Maria looked beautiful as she gave a warm smile.
The 44-year-old told fans he wanted to "create something special" to celebrate his mum.
Arthur brought the picture to life and included a clip over the video of Maria singing in her soothing operatic voice.
The TV star wrote a message in French, which translated reads: "Happy birthday the love of my life. I love you with all my heart have a great day.
"76 years today and still stunning. This goddess voice will never change."
