Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson Reportedly End Engagement

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have reportedly ended their relationship after seven years together.

The news that what seemed to be one of Hollywood’s most stable relationships has come to an end is likely to surprise many fans of the pair.

Dakota Johnson, best known for her role in Fifty Shades of Grey, was recently spotted walking her dog in Malibu, California, without her engagement ring. She also did not join Chris Martin on Coldplay’s European tour, although she was present at their Glastonbury performance in June.

The Daily Mail cited a source claiming that the couple has drifted apart. The source said Martin has “now accepted the relationship is over—and it’s best to move on.”

As of now, there has been no official comment from representatives of either Martin or Johnson.

This isn’t the first time the couple has faced challenges. They previously split in 2019 but quickly reconciled. Although there were rumors of a breakup in June, People magazine had quoted an insider stating, “They’ve had ups and downs, but now they’re definitely back on.”

However, the recent claims suggest a final separation. The source told the Mail that, “Chris and Dakota have tried desperately hard over the past few months to make their relationship work. They’ll always have love for each other but they’ve both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term.”

The source added, “They’re both busy people, Chris has been in Europe with Coldplay and they both have personal priorities, passions and work commitments which don’t naturally intertwine with each other. They wanted it to work but it just hasn’t, and they’ve now accepted it is best to move on.”

The couple was last seen together in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in February.

Chris Martin previously split from his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow after ten years of marriage and two children in 2014, famously calling it a “conscious uncoupling.”

Dakota Johnson, daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, had reportedly struck up a friendship with Paltrow, who referred to Johnson as part of the family.
