The relationship between Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, and actress Dakota Johnson has recently come under scrutiny, with rumors of potential trouble surfacing in the media. The couple, who have been together since 2017, have spent increasing amounts of time apart, prompting speculation about the status of their relationship.
This has particularly been highlighted by their public appearances, with Dakota recently seen without her engagement ring, a piece of jewelry that had been worn consistently since 2020.
These developments have raised concerns among their friends and followers, and some have begun to question whether the two are still together.
A notable incident fueling the rumors occurred when a Coldplay fan claimed that Chris Martin had told her he was “single” during a ride he gave her, although the fan’s account has not been verified.
Johnson’s representative quickly addressed the situation, denying the reports and confirming that the couple is still together, stating that they are “happy.”
However, the rumor mill continues to churn as the pair, despite their long-standing relationship, are rarely seen together in public. Their last appearance together was in June 2024 at a Coldplay concert, where Dakota was visibly supportive of Chris’s performance.
Adding fuel to the speculation, Dakota was recently spotted in Malibu without her engagement ring, further igniting split rumors.
Despite this, Dakota was later photographed with her emerald engagement ring visible, which seemed to put some of the rumors to rest.
The couple, who started dating in 2017 following Chris’s separation from Gwyneth Paltrow, have been relatively private about their relationship, choosing not to rush into marriage.
While their engagement was publicly confirmed in March 2024, it had reportedly occurred years earlier, with both taking their time to settle into their commitment.
Dakota Johnson has been keeping busy with her acting career, taking on the lead role in Marvel’s Madame Web and preparing for her next project, Materialists, a romantic comedy set in New York City.
Despite the ongoing speculation about her personal life, her professional life continues to flourish, and she is focused on her new ventures in the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, Chris Martin has been busy touring with Coldplay, performing at major events like the Glastonbury Festival, where Dakota was spotted showing her support for him.
This wave of speculation about their relationship follows a history of careful privacy maintained by the couple, who have managed to keep their personal lives largely out of the public eye.
While rumors continue to swirl, both Chris and Dakota have made efforts to manage public perceptions, with Dakota’s representative firmly dismissing the split rumors.
Still, the couple’s future remains a subject of intense interest for both their fans and the media, especially as they continue their respective professional careers.
