Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin SPLIT: Couple end eight year romance
Share this @internewscast.com

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have split after almost eight years together, DailyMail.com can confirm.

Actress Dakota Johnson, 35, and Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin, 48, initially began dating in 2017. They got engaged a few years back, but have recently decided to part ways.

According to a source from DailyMail.com, “Their relationship ended quite some time ago, though they struggled to officially announce it. Dakota hoped they would stay together because of her deep feelings for him and affection for his children.”

“Breakups are not always straightforward. They went through cycles of breaking up and reconciling. Sometimes things improved when they were apart due to work, as the distance often rekindled feelings. However, upon reuniting, small disagreements accumulated, showing they were no longer compatible.”

‘Dakota is devastated that she isn’t going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.’ 

The source added 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.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Johnson and Martin for comment but did not immediately hear back. 

A somber Johnson was last pictured in NYC on Wednesday hours before the split news broke, and without her engagement ring.

She also stepped out on Sunday with Martin’s ex Jennifer Lawrence.

DailyMail first reported trouble between the pair in August 2024 but a rep later confirmed they were still together.

The pair had a brief rumored split in 2019 which was alleged to be over Martin pushing for them to have children, but they quickly got back together. 

Martin famously split from actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow, the mother of his two children Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, in March 2014 after ten years of marriage.

The then-Hollywood power couple described their separation at the time as a ‘conscious uncoupling’ and had their divorce finalized in July 2016.

Martin was reported to be in an on-and-off relationship with actress Annabelle Wallis before they split in August 2017.

He was first seen with Dakota at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles in October 2017 when they were reported to be ‘cozy, laughing and affectionate’.

Dakota, the daughter of Don Johnson, 75, and Melanie Griffith, 68, was spotted a month later at a Coldplay concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, leading to fans posing social media pictures of her enjoying the show.

The couple were seen out on more dates around Los Angeles in early 2018.

But it was nearly a year later that they made their first openly public appearance together at Stella McCartney’s Autumn 2018 Collection show in LA.

Dakota’s father, Don, appeared to confirm his daughter’s relationship with Martin in an interview with Digital Spy when he joked: “Yeah, that’s… uh troubling, isn’t it? No, she’s a big girl, she can handle herself!’

Her actress mother also opened up about Martin during a Global Gift Foundation USA Women’s Empowerment Luncheon, when she said: ‘I adore him!’

Dakota appeared to confirm her relationship with Martin in an interview with Tatler in September 2018 when she said: ‘I’m not going to talk about it, but I am very happy.’

The following November, she is said to have met Paltrow, her new husband Brad Falchuk, and Martin’s children at a Thanksgiving dinner

A source told PEOPLE at the time: ‘They’re a total modern family and had a great time celebrating together.’

The couple were spotted again with Paltrow and Falchuk on the beach in the Hamptons, New York, in August 2019.

Paltrow opened up about her ex-husband’s relationship with Dakota in a 2020 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, describing how the actress had become part of her family.

She said: ‘I love her. I can see how it would seem weird because it’s sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her.’

Johnson gushed over Martin’s children in a 2024 interview, saying: ‘I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.’
