Dakota Johnson Sizzles in Bikini with BFF Kate Hudson After Chris Martin Breakup

Dakota Johnson showed ex Chris Martin exactly what he’s missing—stripping down and turning up the heat during a jaw-dropping bikini showdown with BFF Kate Hudson in Ibiza on Thursday

SCANDAL IN IBIZA: Dakota Johnson Sizzles in Bikini Getaway with BFF Kate Hudson, Fueling Rumors of Secret Reunion with Ex Chris Martin

The sun-kissed island of Ibiza has witnessed its fair share of scandals and hookups over the years, but none as tantalizing as the one that unfolded on Thursday. Dakota Johnson, fresh from a string of wild nights in Italy with Ricky Martin, was spotted turning up the heat in a jaw-dropping bikini showdown with her BFF Kate Hudson aboard a luxury yacht.

The 35-year-old Fifty Shades star, who quietly called it quits with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin just weeks ago, seemed to be sending a message to her ex: "You're missing out on some serious fun!" As she sipped on a cocktail and soaked up the sun's rays, Dakota flaunted her flawless physique in a skimpy white two-piece, leaving little to the imagination.

Meanwhile, Kate Hudson, who has been Dakota's partner-in-crime throughout this Ibiza getaway, turned heads in a bright yellow bikini that showcased her pert derrière. The Oscar-nominated actress couldn't resist flashing a cheeky grin as she climbed back onto the boat, sending a clear message: these girls are ready to party!

But what's got everyone talking is the possibility of a secret reunion between Dakota and Chris Martin. According to an exclusive source speaking with The Scholarly Note, a "secret A-list insider" has been working behind the scenes to get the couple back together.

This news comes on the heels of Martin's cryptic shout-out to Johnson at Coldplay's Las Vegas show in June, where he mysteriously referenced her latest film. While some fans thought this was just a promo for Materialists, others sensed something more – like a hint at a possible reunion.

As it turns out, our insider claims that Dakota held onto the flame of their relationship because she loved Martin and his kids so much. "She's devastated to not be around them as much anymore," says the source, "but wants them to know she's always there for them."

But don't count on a reunion just yet! The insider adds that being separated will actually do wonders for the couple in the long run – if they ever decide to rekindle their romance. After all, as the saying goes: absence makes the heart grow fonder.

This isn't the first time Dakota and Chris Martin have faced breakup rumors. Back in 2019, there was a brief split over Martin's desire for kids, but they quickly got back together. Now, with Martin sparking speculation about their relationship status at his Las Vegas show, it seems like history is repeating itself – and this time, the drama is playing out in Ibiza.

They added that there is a chance the pair may reconcile but 'right now, being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together.'

So what really went down between Dakota and Chris Martin? Did they have a secret breakup or are they just taking things slow? As The Scholarly Note digs deeper into this juicy scandal, one thing's for sure: these two stars will keep us guessing until the very end!

A BRIEF HISTORY OF DAKOTA AND CHRIS MARTIN'S ROMANCE

The whirlwind romance between Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin began in 2017 when they were spotted together at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles. A year later, they made their first openly public appearance together at Stella McCartney's Autumn Collection show in LA.

She also had a relationship with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, with whom she shares a son, Bingham, born in 2011

But things got complicated when Martin split from his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow in 2014 – and then started dating Dakota just four years later! Fans were left wondering how the actress had become part of the Paltrow-Martin family, especially after meeting them at a Thanksgiving dinner in 2019.

Dakota's daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith has always been vocal about her love for Martin's kids, but now it seems like she's willing to do whatever it takes to win him back. As for Chris Martin? He's said nothing publicly – but his cryptic shout-out at the Las Vegas show says it all: "Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other... don't forget to see Materialists!"
