Dakota Johnson, the charming Fifty Shades of Grey star, has finally rid her hands of the swirling vortex of rumors milling around about her relationship with Coldplay lead man Chris Martin. The actress has been spotted radiating easy chic in Malibu, California—but it wasn’t the outfit that caught everyone’s attention; rather, it was a certain piece of jewelry.
The rumor mill had been churning with whispers of a possible breakup since she had appeared without her engagement ring, which she has continuously worn since 2020. However, the actress squashed such rumors with an almost subliminal message. While out and about with some friends—among them Bear star Jeremy Allen White and Blake Lee—she was low-key in an oversized tan coat over breezy bell-bottoms. But it was the emerald sparkler on her left ring finger that commanded attention.
All this came only days after rumors of a possible breakup began to surface, but Johnson’s rep quickly stepped in to set the record straight by stating the couple is still very much in love. The relationship between these two stars has always been extremely private, though recent public sightings—like Johnson catching Coldplay’s Glastonbury Festival headlining set—have revealed that things remain very much on track.
The two began this journey together in 2017, featuring a daughter of Hollywood icons Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, and the soulful voice behind hits like “Fix You.” Their engagement, confirmed in March 2024, was another giant stride to be noted in their love story. Where so much of the entertainment industry finds itself deep in relationship speculation, Johnson’s proud parading of her new engagement ring should act as a very loud and clear indicator: their love story is far from over.
