Signs of Distance Spark Concerns
Whispers about trouble began when Dakota Johnson was recently spotted out with friends in Los Angeles, appearing subdued. Meanwhile, Chris Martin was busy on the road with Coldplay’s ongoing world tour. Adding fuel to the fire, a Coldplay fan claimed online that Chris had given her a ride and casually mentioned being “single.” Though the comment quickly went viral, Dakota’s representative swiftly denied the claim, dismissing it as false and reaffirming that the couple is “happy together.”
However, concerns linger. In August, Dakota was seen in Malibu without her signature emerald engagement ring, a piece she’s worn consistently since 2020. Her absence from Coldplay’s recent concerts also didn’t go unnoticed by fans. These developments have left many wondering if the couple, who were last seen together at the Glastonbury Festival in June, might be heading for a breakup.
Engagement Rumors and Relationship Timeline
The pair first began dating in 2017, three years after Chris Martin’s highly publicized “conscious uncoupling” from ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. Since then, Dakota and Chris have maintained a famously low-profile relationship, avoiding the spotlight whenever possible. The couple’s engagement became the subject of speculation in December 2020, when Dakota was first seen wearing an emerald ring. Although they didn’t officially confirm the engagement until March 2024, the two reportedly never felt rushed to tie the knot.

Despite the current rumors, Dakota has previously shut down speculation about their relationship status. Photos surfaced earlier this year showing her walking through Malibu, the engagement ring back on her finger. Still, with Chris and Dakota leading increasingly separate lives—he on tour and she busy with her burgeoning acting career—questions about their future together persist.
Dakota Johnson’s Star Continues to Rise
While the spotlight on her personal life intensifies, Dakota Johnson remains focused on her career. Following her role in Marvel’s Madame Web, Dakota is now diving into her next project, Materialists. Directed by the acclaimed Celine Song, the romantic comedy will star Johnson alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. Set in New York City, the film weaves together the lives of a matchmaker, her ex-boyfriend, and a wealthy businessman, promising a heartfelt yet humorous exploration of modern relationships.
Dakota’s career trajectory has been on an upward climb since her breakout in the Fifty Shades of Grey series. Now, with Materialists and her venture into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she’s firmly establishing herself as one of Hollywood’s most versatile and in-demand stars.
