Just weeks after her quiet split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, actress Dakota Johnson has been spotted enjoying a rejuvenating European getaway with longtime friend Kate Hudson. The pair, both daughters of Hollywood royalty, were seen dining in Rome and later yachting off the coast of Ibiza, marking a stylish and spirited chapter in Johnson’s post-breakup journey.
Roman holiday with famous friends
As reported by E! News, Johnson and Hudson were first seen on June 28 dining al fresco in Rome with entrepreneur Douglas Chabbott and Johnson’s agent Maha Dakhil. The evening took a star-studded turn when Ricky Martin, dining nearby, stopped by to greet the group.
Ibiza Escape: Sun, Sea, and Sisterhood
Three days later, the duo was photographed cruising off the coast of Ibiza, Spain. According to People, the actresses lounged on a large white float, swam in the Mediterranean, and soaked up the sun in bikinis, Johnson in white and Hudson in yellow.
Their carefree energy and close bond were on full display, offering a glimpse into their decades-long friendship. Their mothers, Melanie Griffith and Goldie Hawn, have been close friends since the 80s, and the two actresses essentially grew up together.
A quiet end to a long love story
The girls trip comes on the heels of Johnson’s breakup with Chris Martin, which was confirmed in early June after nearly eight years of dating. Though the couple had recently been seen on a yoga date, insiders told People the split had been “a long time coming.”
Neither Johnson nor Martin has publicly commented, consistent with their famously private relationship.
“We work so much… It’s nice to be cosy and private”
In a 2021 interview with Elle, Johnson explained their low-key dynamic, saying, “We’ve been together for quite a while, and we go out sometimes. But we both work so much that it’s nice to be at home and be cozy and private.”
What’s next for Dakota?
While the breakup may have surprised fans, Johnson appears to be embracing her independence with grace. Sources close to her say she’s focused on her creative projects and living life “intentionally.” With The Materialists gaining buzz and her Ibiza glow making headlines, Dakota Johnson seems to be turning the page with style, strength, and sunshine.
