Amid breakup rumors swirling around Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson, the Coldplay singer recently hinted that their romance is still going strong, though they prefer to keep it private. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Chris expressed the significance of romantic love in his life, emphasizing the need to protect and cherish it while acknowledging its power.
Throughout the interview, Chris, 47, frequently mentioned Dakota, 35, sharing that they had enjoyed listening to Kacey Musgraves’ music together and highlighting her as one of his closest companions alongside their children Apple, 20, and Moses, 18, whom he shares with his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
Despite being together for years since they first met in 2017, reports surfaced in March suggesting that the couple had been engaged for some time, although neither confirmed this publicly. Moreover, despite rumors of a split in August, a representative clarified that they were still happily together.
While the duo values their privacy, they haven’t shied away from expressing their deep affection for each other. Dakota reflected on their connection in a 2022 interview, sharing that they had been inseparable since they first crossed paths. Both Chris and Dakota have been intentional about keeping their relationship low-key, considering their respective backgrounds and the challenges of navigating Hollywood’s spotlight.
Their love story began with speculation following Dakota’s appearance at a Coldplay concert, eventually leading to public sightings that hinted at a budding romance. Their relationship became more apparent when they were seen holding hands at an event and later flaunting matching infinity tattoos. Dakota herself confirmed their relationship in a discreet statement to Tatler, expressing her happiness without divulging further details.
As the couple continues to prioritize their bond away from prying eyes, their enduring love and mutual support shine through, resonating with fans who admire their genuine connection.
At a birthday bash held in October, the talented actress reciprocated the kind gesture by accompanying her boyfriend to his performance on Saturday Night Live. Following the show, the couple marked the occasion by attending the official after-party together.
Known for her role in Fifty Shades of Grey, the actress took on a new role as a director for Coldplay’s music video “Cry, Cry, Cry.” The video portrays a couple navigating life’s challenges hand in hand, providing support to each other during moments of vulnerability.
According to a source from E! News, the actress and Coldplay’s frontman found solace in a stylish modern Cape Cod-inspired residence in Malibu, California, which carried a hefty price tag of $12.5 million.
During a break in the summer, the couple ventured to Palma De Mallorca, Spain, where they indulged in a leisurely boat ride and explored the charming city’s sights and sounds.
Prior to performing Coldplay’s latest single, “My Universe,” a collaboration with the group BTS, Chris drew attention to Dakota seated in the balcony and delivered a heartfelt message to the crowd. “This song is a reflection of my universe, and she’s right here,” he shared with the audience.
