Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly ended their relationship after nearly eight years together.
“It feels final this time,” a source told People on Wednesday.
The Materialists actress, 35, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, were first romantically linked in October 2017. Though they kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, they were last photographed together on May 16 during an outing in Malibu. Prior to that, in January, they were seen holding hands in India while Martin was on tour with his band.
Johnson, who next stars alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in Materialists (in theaters June 13), recently discussed her perspective on relationships in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, published June 4.
Dakota Johnson, daughter of Hollywood legends Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, has carved out a successful career of her own with a mix of indie films and blockbuster hits. She rose to global fame with her role as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey series and has since earned critical acclaim for performances in films like The Lost Daughter and Cha Cha Real Smooth. Known for her quiet confidence and understated charm, Johnson continues to balance high-profile roles with a grounded, low-key presence off-screen.
Chris Martin, the lead vocalist and co-founder of Coldplay, is one of the most recognizable figures in modern music. Since forming the band in 1996, he has led them to international success with hit albums like Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head, and Music of the Spheres. Beyond his music, Martin is known for his activism, spiritual outlook, and famously amicable co-parenting relationship with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. His relationship with Johnson was seen by many as a grounding presence in his life. Together, Johnson and Martin formed a private yet widely admired couple, often choosing to stay out of the public eye despite their celebrity status. Over the years, they were spotted at casual outings, music tours, and family gatherings, appearing to maintain a steady relationship away from the spotlight. News of their reported split comes as a surprise to many fans, especially after their recent public appearances, and has sparked speculation about what may have led to the end of their nearly eight-year relationship.
