Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have reportedly called off their eight year on and off again relationship for the second time.
The Coldplay singer and Fifty Shades of Grey star have been dating since 2017 and sparked engagement rumours during 2020, but break-up rumours swirled in 2024.
However, despite the pair being spotted in Malibu together on May 16, a source told People the alleged split this time round was it.
“It feels final this time,” the insider told the publication.
In March 2024, a source told the outlet that Johnson and Martin had been engaged for “years” after first sparking engagement rumours in 2020, though they were “in no rush to get married” at the time.
When fans thought the pair had broken up in August, Johnson’s representative denied the gossip by saying they were “happily together”.
About the same time, a source said: “Sure, they’ve had issues and taken breaks in the past but things are great now.
“They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can.”
The Materialists actress previously spoke about being in the lives of Martin’s two kids with his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, son Moses and daughter Apple, now 19 and 21, respectively.
“I love those kids like my life depends on it,” Johnson told Bustle. “With all my heart.”
She also told the outlet she was a big fan of watching Martin perform.
“I don’t know. I love watching him,” she said.
“I could watch him every day. I don’t know how to explain it. I feel like I don’t know … I’m watching my most favourite being do his most favourite thing.”
In January, the pair held hands in India, where Martin was touring with his band.
Johnson can be seen in upcoming romance movie Materialists, out June 13, alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times about the film on Wednesday, Johnson offered her opinion on people judging relationships.
“For a long time we’ve all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world,” she said.
“When people should get married. Divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad?”
“Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn’t matter.”
