Forget ice-cream and a rom-com to mend a broken heart. For recently single Dakota Johnson, a girls' trip on a yacht is the way to go.
Fresh from her break-up with Chris Martin, the actress stripped down to a skimpy bikini for some fun in Ibiza with her girlfriends.
The Materialists star, 35, sported a white two-piece while her friend and fellow actress Kate Hudson wore a black bikini top with matching shorts as they frolicked in the Mediterranean with some girlfriends.
The girls' getaway comes one month after Johnson spilt from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48, after eight years of dating. They were rumoured to have gotten engaged in December 2020 when she was seen wearing an emerald sparkler on her ring finger, but their engagement wasn't confirmed until March 2024.
'[They] got engaged years ago, but were in no rush to get married,' a source told People magazine at the time.
Sadly, the pair will no longer make that trip down the aisle following their break-up in early June, reportedly over two major factors.
'They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it,' a source told The US Sun.
The source added that the pair had been 'back and forth on issues for years' and tried to figure out a future.
'They made some beautiful memories as a family and it'll be hard for both of them to move on after such a long relationship but they will do it,' the source said.
And it appears Hudson is helping Johnson since the break-up. The inseparable girlfriends were also seen on a night out in Rome, dining at the iconic Pierluigi restaurant, where they ran into pop star Ricky Martin.
Johnson and Hudson, 46, have had similar paths in Hollywood. Both are the daughters of legendary stars Melanie Griffith and Goldie Hawn, respectively, who are long-time friends themselves.
The pair grew up in the shadow of their famous mothers before breaking out and rising through the ranks of Hollywood.
However, Johnson's dad, actor Don Johnson, didn't want her to become an actress but rather attend the famous Juilliard School in New York.
'He said, 'If you go to college, you still get an allowance,'' she recalled on the US Today show last year. 'And I was like, 'Well, I'm going to be an actress.' So he was like, 'Alright, well you're on your own. I was cut off.'
The budding star turned to modelling for rent money as she pursued acting, but said she 'definitely had moments where I couldn't afford groceries and things like that and needed to ask my mum to help me,' she said. 'She was the nice one.'
