Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have officially ended their engagement after seven years together. The couple, known for keeping their relationship largely private, has not publicly disclosed the reasons behind their decision to part ways. This unexpected news has left fans and media outlets speculating about what could have led to the breakup.
The romance between Dakota Johnson, famous for her role in “Fifty Shades of Grey,” and Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of Coldplay, began in 2017. Their relationship started soon after Martin’s divorce from actress Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he shares two children, Apple and Moses. Unlike many high-profile couples, Johnson and Martin chose to maintain a low profile throughout their relationship, rarely making public appearances together or speaking about each other in the media.
The couple’s engagement, while never officially announced, became apparent when Johnson was first seen wearing an engagement ring in 2020. However, the exact timing of the proposal remains unknown, as neither Johnson nor Martin publicly discussed the details of their engagement. This secrecy has only fueled the curiosity surrounding their relationship.
The news of the breakup became public after Dakota Johnson was recently seen without her engagement ring, sparking rumors that the relationship had ended. Sources close to the couple have confirmed that they have indeed called it quits. An insider revealed that Martin, who is currently on the European leg of his tour, has accepted that the relationship is over and believes it is best for both to move on.
Despite the end of their engagement, it is reported that the couple tried their best to make the relationship work. Sources indicate that they have been struggling for several months to maintain their connection, but ultimately concluded that their relationship could not be sustained long-term. The insider mentioned that while there is still love between them, they realized that staying together was not viable.
One of the rare public displays of affection came in 2021 when Chris Martin released the song “My Universe,” which was widely believed to be dedicated to Dakota Johnson. The couple’s relationship was marked by mutual respect and a shared desire for privacy. In the same year, Johnson spoke warmly about her relationship with Martin’s children, expressing her deep affection for them. She mentioned in an interview with Bustle, “I love those kids like my life depends on them. With all my heart.”
The couple’s split marks the end of a relationship that was cherished by many of their fans, even if it was not often in the public eye. The reasons behind the breakup remain unclear, and it is uncertain whether more details will emerge in the future.
Past Relationships
Before their relationship, both Johnson and Martin had been involved in other high-profile romances. Martin was previously married to Gwyneth Paltrow for 13 years, from 2003 to 2016. Their amicable relationship post-divorce continued to make headlines, especially when they were spotted holding hands in public last year. Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson had relationships with Matthew Hitt and American actor Jordan Masterson before her engagement to Martin.
As of now, neither Johnson nor Martin has commented publicly on the breakup, and it is uncertain how they will move forward. Their commitment to privacy suggests that any further details about their relationship or the reasons for their split may remain undisclosed.
