Dakota Johnson, Chris Martin call it quits after dating for 8 years

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly ended their relationship for good after being together on and off for nearly eight years. According to People Magazine, insiders say this breakup is final.

An insider said, “It feels final this time.” Dakota Johnson chose not to address her recent breakup with Chris Martin during her appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. Instead, she focused on her upcoming film Materialists, directed by Celine Song. Dakota shared her admiration for the filmmaker, saying she became "obsessed" with her after watching the Oscar-nominated Past Lives.

Johnson and Meyers also playfully described the new film as a "rom-dramedy," reported Page Six. The silence came only one day after it was revealed that she and the Coldplay frontman had ended their relationship after nearly eight years. Johnson was photographed exiting The Greenwich Hotel in New York City before her late-night engagement.

The "50 Shades of Grey" actress, 35, and singer, 48, started dating in 2017 and had an on-again, off-again romance for nearly eight years before calling it quits. The silence comes just one day after news broke that she and the Coldplay frontman split for good following nearly eight years together.

The longtime couple shares a home in Malibu, where they were last photographed together in May, reported Page Six. In January, they were photographed happily holding hands during an outing in India, months after rumours suggested they had broken off their engagement and split. However, a representative said, "The reports are not true," adding, "They are happily together," according to Page Six.

Sources previously confirmed in March 2024 that the couple had been engaged for years; however, they preferred to keep their relationship private. "They are in no rush to plan the wedding but are just enjoying making their commitment official," a source informed.

Johnson, whose parents are 80s icons Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, has rarely opened up about the relationship. But in March 2024, the actress shared how she felt about watching the singer perform. "I love watching him," she told Bustle at the time. "I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. I feel like, I don't know... I'm watching my most favourite being do his most favourite thing."

As for Martin's kids, Apple and Moses, whom he shares with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, she also shares a bond with them. "I love those kids like my life depends on it," Dakota told the outlet. "With all my heart," reported Page Six.
