Dakota Johnson was spotted in New York City on a Wednesday looking noticeably downcast, just hours before news broke that she and Chris Martin had officially ended their relationship. She was seen leaving the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca, wearing a wide-brimmed hat that hid part of her face, but her somber mood was clear. One detail caught people’s attention — her left hand was bare, missing the emerald engagement ring she had worn before. This public moment came shortly before reports confirmed that Dakota and the Coldplay singer had called it quits after being together for years.
The couple, who began dating back in 2017, had been engaged for several years, but according to a source speaking to the Daily Mail, their relationship had been over for quite some time even if they hadn’t made it official yet. The source shared that Dakota had always hoped they could make it work because she loved Chris deeply and cared a lot about his kids, Apple and Moses. However, the breakup wasn’t sudden. The couple had gone through several ups and downs, breaking up and making up multiple times. Over time, small issues piled up, making it clear they just weren’t right for each other anymore.
The insider revealed that Dakota is particularly heartbroken about the distance this will create from Chris’s children. She’s devastated that she won’t be around them as much, but she wants them to know she will always be there for them, even if things have changed.
As for whether Dakota and Chris might get back together, the source hinted there could still be hope. Spending some time apart might help them figure things out if a reunion is in their future. Interestingly, Dakota was also seen recently spending time with Jennifer Lawrence, who is Chris Martin’s ex. This has stirred more curiosity about their breakup and the relationships within their social circle.
Back in August 2024, there were already rumors of trouble between Dakota and Chris, although a representative denied they had split at that time. This isn’t the first time their relationship hit a rough patch — in 2019, they briefly broke up over different views on starting a family, but they reunited shortly afterward. Now, it seems this latest separation might be more final, but fans will be watching closely to see what happens next.
