After nearly eight years of an on-and-off relationship, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly called it quits — and this time, it sounds like it might actually be the end.
The Materialists actress, 35, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, were first romantically linked back in 2017. Despite several breakups and makeups over the years, sources now say this most recent split feels more serious than previous ones.
“It feels final this time,” a source shared with People, hinting that the couple may be parting ways for good.
The news of their breakup comes not long after Dakota was spotted grabbing dinner in New York City with none other than Jennifer Lawrence — who also happens to be one of Chris’s exes. (Jennifer and Chris dated briefly between 2014 and 2015.) While it’s probably just friendly, it’s definitely an interesting connection to make headlines right around the time of a breakup.
The last public sighting of Dakota and Chris together was back in January, when they were seen holding hands — and seemingly in good spirits. Since then, they’ve kept things pretty low-key, leading to ongoing speculation about their relationship status.
Though neither has publicly confirmed the split, fans have long admired their quiet, under-the-radar relationship. Dakota, who once said she preferred to keep her love life private, and Chris, who shares two kids with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, always seemed to make a point of keeping things personal — until now.
While it’s unclear what led to the breakup, those close to the couple suggest it’s a mutual decision rooted in timing and lifestyle differences more than drama. Still, it’s a disappointing turn for fans who hoped they’d go the distance.
Time will tell whether this “final” breakup actually sticks — or if the pair will reunite once again. But for now, it sounds like Dakota and Chris are going their separate ways.
