Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin Call It Quits—for Good This Time?

After nearly eight years of a famously low-key, on-and-off romance, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly called it quits—again. But this time, insiders suggest the breakup could be permanent. Multiple sources confirmed in a news report that the Materialists actress, 35, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, are no longer together. One insider emphasized, “It feels final this time,” hinting that the couple may have finally reached the end of the road.

A Love Story That Spanned Continents and Years

Johnson and Martin were first romantically linked in 2017, quietly building a relationship away from the typical glare of the Hollywood spotlight. The pair reportedly got engaged “years ago,” though they never publicly confirmed it, and appeared to be in no rush to marry.

Fans last saw the couple out together on May 16 in Malibu, looking relaxed and affectionate. Before that, they were spotted in India in January, holding hands during Coldplay’s tour. The relationship seemed strong, even after enduring rumors of a breakup in August 2024, which Dakota Johnson’s rep publicly denied.

Why the Split Now?

While the couple had weathered breakups and reconciliations in the past, sources say this one feels different. No official reason has been given, and reps for both stars have not responded to requests for comment. However, those close to them cite busy schedules, career pressures, and a desire for different things as possible reasons behind the split.

In March 2024, it seemed like wedding bells could still ring, with insiders revealing the two were quietly engaged. But even then, there were signs of hesitation: “They’re in no rush to get married,” as per an insider.

Blended Family and Private Love

Dakota Johnson has always been candid about her affection for Chris Martin’s children—Apple (21) and Moses (19), from his marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow. In a 2023 interview, she gushed, “I love those kids like my life depends on it.”

She also once said watching Chris Martin perform was “like watching my favorite being do his most favorite thing.”

Despite their strong emotional bond, the pair rarely made public appearances, valuing privacy over celebrity spectacle.
