She teamed the matching tracksuit with a chic white fur coat and sported a pair of brown platform Ugg boots.
The star beamed as she departed from the hotel with a silver suitcase and her belongings in her arms.
To complete her look, she styled her blonde locks in a slick ponytail and further accessorised with a gold necklace.
Meanwhile, Wynne, 52, cut a quirky figure in a blue floral shirt and grey faded jeans as he exited the hotel with his suitcase and backpack.
He teamed the jazzy shirt with a grey button-up overshirt and sported a pair of chunky grey trainers.

Strictly star Sam Quek insists the BBC One show IS a 'safe' place for women following Amanda Abbington 'bullying' scandal as she breaks silence on shock A Question of Sport axing
Following soon afterwards were cast members Gorka Márquez, Shayne Ward, Dianne Buswell, Chris McCausland, Montell Douglas, Sam Quek, Nancy Xu, Jamie Borthwick, and Aljaž Škorjanec.
It comes after Sam insisted the BBC One dance show is a safe place for women to compete, amid claims the recent bullying scandal led to only six female celebrities signing up for this year's series.
This year's series was overshadowed by the bullying scandal which rocked the show, resulting in two Italian dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima leaving following complaints from their respective partners Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott.
However, Sam, who spoke exclusively to MailOnline, believes female stars should not be put off signing up for future series, after only six female celebrities, compared to nine males, made the 2024 line-up.
Asked if she would recommend Strictly to women, Sam said: 'Yes, absolutely. The show has been one of the most rewarding things that I have done.'
'It's easy to say you can learn how to dance, which is amazing, but you also learn a lot about yourself. With dancing, I struggled a lot with my self-belief of being able to execute a dance but if you put the work in you can get the product out on a Saturday night.'
'It's the resilience really and being able to push yourself. With this, you get out what you put in.'
She continued: 'Away from the dancing and the TV show, it is so much fun, the crew, the staff, the talent, the pro dancers, everyone is so lovely.'
'My favourite bit is when I go in on a Friday and Saturday because I love to be surrounded by people.'
And on feeling 'safe', Sam added: 'I have always felt safe in everything I have done with Strictly. I have never done it before, but I turn up to the training room, we all say 'hi' and have a nice chat, nothing feels out of place.'
