After nearly eight years of an on-and-off relationship, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and actress Dakota Johnson have officially parted ways. Multiple sources confirmed the breakup in early June 2025, with one insider describing it as feeling "final this time." The couple, known for their private romance, began dating in 2017 and had been secretly engaged for several years, though they never set a wedding date.
Throughout their relationship, Martin and Johnson maintained a low profile, rarely appearing together at public events. Despite their discretion, they shared significant milestones, including moving in together in Malibu and collaborating professionally on a Coldplay music video. Johnson also formed a close bond with Martin's two children from his previous marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow.
The reasons behind their split remain private, but sources suggest that their demanding careers and differing priorities may have contributed to the decision. Johnson was recently spotted in New York City without her engagement ring, signaling the end of their long-term relationship.
While representatives for both Martin and Johnson have declined to comment, the breakup marks the conclusion of one of Hollywood's more enduring and discreet romances. Fans and media alike have expressed surprise and sadness over the news, reflecting on the couple's nearly decade-long journey together.
