Chris Martin and Kate Hudson have hit the beach in Malibu for a play date with their kids.

Kate – who was previously engaged to British rocker Matt Bellamy of Muse – and Coldplay star Chris – who last year “consciously uncoupled” from actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow – were snapped sharing a joke and playing ball games as they enjoyed a day of family fun.

Kate, 35, brought her sons Ryder, 10 and Bing, three, while good pal Chris was joined by his daughter, Apple, 10, and son, Moses, eight.

Kate looked fabulous in an itsy bitsy teeny weeny strong bikini with a bright tribal print, while surfing fan Chris opted for tight lycra and a baseball cap to shield him from the sun.

The two families were also seen going out for dinner together that evening.
