Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin ‘had ups & downs but now they’re definitely back on’

Here are some photos of Dakota Johnson at the June 10th screening of Daddio at the Tribeca Film Festival. Dakota has been filming a movie with Chris Evans in New York in recent months and she’s been keeping relatively quiet since Madame Web bombed. But last month, there were rumors that Dakota and Chris Martin split recently, and those rumors seemed to come directly from Chris. He told a fan that he was single last month. It was surprising because we only really get gossip scraps about Chris and Dakota’s situation – they’re loosely engaged, they’ve been together for years, and Dakota and Gwyneth Paltrow are seemingly tight. But what’s really going on? Well, People Mag has an interesting update:

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin’s relationship is in a good place. As Johnson, 34, premieres her new movie Daddio at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City and Martin, 47, continues a world tour with his band Coldplay this summer, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE the longtime pair are “going strong.”

“They’ve had ups and downs, but now they’re definitely back on,” the source says.

Johnson and Martin were last seen together during a February trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where they were spotted hitting the beach. The pair began dating sometime in 2017, three years after Martin and his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow famously “consciously uncoupled.” They finalized their divorce in 2016.

The pair have typically kept their relationship private over the years. As a source told PEOPLE in March, the couple “got engaged years ago but were in no rush to get married.” Johnson was seen wearing a large emerald ring on her left hand in December 2020, though the couple did not comment on the ring at the time.

“Now they’re definitely back on” – so, an admission that they were off for a time. I wonder if they split around the same time Madame Web bombed? If so, that was a particularly rough time for Dakota. I also wonder if they’ve had little breakups here and there and we’ve never heard about it. Hm. While I know Dakota might not want marriage and the whole “settled down” lifestyle, I will be so mad at Chris if it turns out that he’s strung her along for eight-plus years and he was always the one who never wanted to get married.

    I know she is a nepo kid, but I like her face and style. I hate her bangs though and I’ve been waiting for her to grow them out for years. Thank you for not including a photo of C.M. because I can’t stand his face for some reason. It maybe due to the fact that to me his band’s music is blandest, most watered down crap ever.

      I find her plainer without the bangs. I love her with the bangs. She’s striking with them and her eyes pop. I do wonder why she keeps wearing these hair extensions she’s been wearing for quite a while now. I haven’t seen her real hair for years.

      I love her bangs! I have bangs and she is bang goals. Love her style too.

      Coldplay is amazing though! Their earliest albums were unique…and they experimented with their sound on their last album. Their singles are not always indicative of their album sound.

    I find them both insufferable so I’m really glad they are still together & no one else is suffering dating them.

    You mean the guy who couldn’t stand to be photographed with his wife and the mother of his children but was perfectly fine getting papped with his much younger, beginning of career actress girlfriend the minute they ended? Surely he wouldn’t have a problem with a girlfriend who seems to have a career that is continuing to grow. /s

    I loved Madame Web! It was campy and kitchy and fun. I know I’m in the minority, but I really enjoyed that flick.

  5. tealily says:

    Hm interesting. I thought for sure they had either split or by “single” he simply meant not married. Now this makes me think they are definitely heading for a breakup!

  6. JMOney says:

    I genuinely thought the reason they haven’t made it official is they were waiting for Chris and Gwyneth’s kids to be 18 to move out. That way GP cannot use the kids excuse to meddle into their marriage and kid(s) if they had any. Now that the kids are officially in university, I think Chris probably realized he doesn’t want more kids and maybe Dakota goes back and forth b/c she can live the life she does without kids but kids always make things complicated. No matter how wealthy you are the burden will always fall on the mother.

    • Isabella says:

      Don’t get why Gwyneth would want to meddle in their marriage. Or how she and Chris differ from other any parents, sharing custody after a divorce. Gwyneth has a new husband and more money and power than either of them.

      I suspect Chris didn’t want more children.

    Dakota is at an age where people re-evaluate their life and most of her friends are having babies. I think she is the one who changed & wanting to settle down but Chris has said before he doesn’t plan on having kids(who can blame him, his oldest daughter reached 20yrs old). And I believe that’s why he broke up with Annabelle Wallis. I have a feeling we’ll hear about them officially breaking up soon
