In a rare public appearance, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin were photographed together, looking very much in love and putting an end to any rumors about their breakup. The couple was seen holding hands and smiling while they were out in Mumbai, India, on January 17, 2025, just as Chris Martin was in the city for his band Coldplay’s performance on their ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour.
Chris Martin, 47, the lead singer of the popular British band Coldplay, is currently performing in Mumbai along with his bandmates, as part of their worldwide tour. Dakota Johnson, 35, an actress best known for her role in the Fifty Shades series, joined her partner in Mumbai, marking one of their rare outings together in public.
In the pictures taken during their time in Mumbai, the couple seemed relaxed and happy. Chris Martin wore a comfortable, casual outfit—a long-sleeved gray shirt, black pants, white sneakers, and a black graphic baseball cap. Dakota Johnson was dressed similarly in a black tank midi dress, with a gray sweater casually tied around her waist and black sneakers. She added a similar baseball cap to her outfit, and at one point, she waved to the cameras as the two strolled together. The photos showed the couple walking hand-in-hand, enjoying their time together in the bustling city, which seemed to reassure fans who had been worried about their relationship.
This public outing comes after months of rumors surrounding their relationship. There had been whispers in the media earlier in the year suggesting that the two had broken up, but these photos appear to confirm that they are very much together, enjoying their time as a couple.
Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson first started dating in the fall of 2017, and their relationship quickly gained attention from the public. The couple kept their romance mostly private, but they made their first public appearance as a couple in January 2018 at Stella McCartney’s Autumn 2018 Collection event. Since then, the two have been spotted together on a few occasions, but they have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye. Despite their efforts to maintain privacy, their connection continued to intrigue fans and the media.
In 2020, rumors started circulating that the couple had gotten engaged, but they never confirmed or denied the rumors. However, a source close to the couple revealed to People in March 2024 that Chris and Dakota had, in fact, been engaged for several years, even though they had never made a big announcement about it. According to the source, they were “in no rush to get married,” and had been happily engaged for quite some time.
When breakup rumors started to spread over the summer of 2024, some fans became concerned about the status of their relationship. The media speculated about the possibility of the couple going their separate ways, but a representative for Dakota Johnson quickly shut down the rumors. The spokesperson made it clear that Dakota and Chris were still very much together and “happily” so.
Despite facing challenges in their relationship, the couple seemed to be in a good place. A source close to the couple told People that although they had gone through tough times and had even taken breaks from each other in the past, things were going well between them now. “They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can,” the source explained. This statement reassured fans that even though every couple faces difficulties, Chris and Dakota were working through their issues and making it work.
Dakota and Chris have always been private about their relationship, and they continue to keep most aspects of their personal lives away from the spotlight. However, this recent outing in Mumbai, where they were seen looking comfortable and in love, shows that they are still going strong and not letting rumors affect them.
This rare public appearance also comes at an exciting time for Chris Martin and his band, Coldplay, as they continue to perform on their Music of the Spheres World Tour. The band’s tour has been a huge success, with sold-out shows in various countries around the world, including India. Chris Martin’s involvement in Coldplay has kept him busy, but he and Dakota seem to find time to support each other, despite their busy schedules.
The couple’s ability to balance their careers with their personal lives has been an important factor in their relationship. While Dakota Johnson is also a successful actress with numerous projects on her plate, she and Chris continue to make time for each other, showing that love and career can coexist when there is mutual understanding and effort.
In addition to their professional lives, Chris and Dakota also enjoy spending time together in private. While they do not often share details about their day-to-day life, it is clear that they enjoy each other’s company and have a strong bond. Their recent public appearance only confirmed what many fans had hoped: that they are still a happy couple.
