Dakota Johnson, the 35-year-old actress known for her role in “Fifty Shades of Grey,” was seen without her engagement ring in New York City this week, in the midst of reports confirming her breakup with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48.
According to a close source to the couple, the split this time around “feels final,” marking the end of their nearly eight-year on-and-off relationship. Representatives for both Johnson and Martin have not yet commented on the news, adding to the air of finality surrounding their separation.
Seen on Monday, June 2, and Wednesday, June 4, Johnson appeared casual yet chic in her outings, opting for a neutral ensemble on Wednesday that included a floppy sun hat, boho-style top, wide-leg pants, and dark-brown flats. Just two days prior, she sported a black leather jacket while stepping out in the city.
The relationship between Johnson and Martin first sparked in 2017, after Martin’s divorce from actress Gwyneth Paltrow in 2015. Although engaged for some time, the couple reportedly had no immediate plans for a wedding, focusing instead on their respective careers and enjoying their time together.
In previous years, breakup rumors surfaced but were quickly shut down, with insiders confirming that the couple had their fair share of challenges but always found a way to work through them. Despite maintaining a largely private relationship, Johnson spoke openly about her admiration for Martin, expressing her joy in watching him perform on stage during an interview with Bustle.
Their most recent public appearance together was in Malibu, California, just two weeks before the split was confirmed. Fans had seen them holding hands earlier in India, where Martin was on tour with his band.
As news of the breakup continues to circulate, fans of the former couple are left wondering about the reasons behind their decision to part ways. However, for now, both Johnson and Martin appear to be focusing on moving forward individually after their long and storied relationship.
The end of any high-profile relationship often garners public interest, prompting speculation and reflection on the journey shared by two individuals in the spotlight. Fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on Johnson and Martin as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as further details may emerge about the circumstances surrounding the split and the future plans of both Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin.
