Rumors have been swirling about a potential breakup between actor Dakota Johnson and musician Chris Martin, but a representative for Johnson has confirmed that the couple’s relationship is still going strong. Reports earlier this week suggested that the “Madame Web” star and the Coldplay frontman were on the verge of splitting, but the rep quickly put those rumors to rest, stating, “They are happily together,” according to an article published by People on Friday.
Johnson and Martin have been linked since 2017 when they first sparked dating rumors. Their relationship was publicly confirmed by Johnson in 2018 during an interview with the British publication Tatler. Despite the spotlight on their romance, the couple has kept many details of their relationship private. However, in March of this year, People magazine cited an unnamed source claiming that the couple had been engaged for years but were in no hurry to tie the knot.
Adding to the public’s interest is the amicable relationship between Johnson and Martin’s ex-wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Paltrow, who was married to Martin for over a decade before their split in 2014, has spoken warmly about her friendship with Johnson on several occasions. In a Q&A session on her Instagram Story last year, the Goop founder referred to Johnson as a “very good friend” and expressed her affection for the “Fifty Shades of Grey” star, saying, “I love her so much.”
Martin and Paltrow co-parent their two children, daughter Apple and son Moses. While Paltrow has acknowledged that co-parenting can be challenging, she emphasized during a 2020 appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” that their focus remains on unity, love, and the well-being of their children, even on the more difficult days.
The couple’s ability to maintain strong relationships and prioritize family has only further solidified their bond, as the recent rumors are now dispelled, and Johnson and Martin continue to enjoy their time together.
