Chris Martin & Kate Hudson Dating — The Truth

Even though it seems that Chris may have a new blonde in his life, it’s strictly only a friendship. HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively that Kate and the Coldplay singer have been close friends for a long time.

“Chris and Kate aren’t hooking up – contrary to what has been suggested,” an insider revealed to HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “They are actually very close friends. Chris met Kate through Gwyneth – they are like sisters – and the pair are both very active.”

Well, Gwyneth and Chris were married for ten years, so that’s plenty of time for him to develop a close relationship with Kate. Our source went on to say, “It was just a harmless day at the beach. Nothing more.”

It’s great that these two can still keep a friendship, even though Gwyneth is no longer married to Chris. We must say though, it has to be hard for him to have such a sexy close friend. Kate looked beyond amazing in her cute bikini that showed off her toned bod.

Chris & Kate Also Like To Workout Together

Hitting the beach is just one of many activities this duo likes to do together. Our source told us, “Chris and Kate have even been known to go to the gym together – and that’s just one of the activities they like to do.”

We wonder how Gwyneth feels about her friend spending time with Chris without her, but clearly Kate is okay with it.
