Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and actress Dakota Johnson have ended their long-term relationship, sources confirmed earlier this year. The couple, who began dating in 2017, reportedly parted ways in June 2025 after an on-and-off romance that spanned nearly eight years. The breakup is said to be final, with insiders citing conflicting schedules and differing life priorities as key reasons.
While neither Martin nor Johnson has publicly commented in detail, Johnson has recently spoken about relationship red flags in interviews, and Martin has been seen spending extended time in London amid Coldplay’s ongoing tour.
Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson officially split in June 2025 after nearly eight years together. The breakup occurred while Martin was touring with Coldplay and Johnson was engaged in multiple film projects. According to sources from RadarOnline and The Sun, the couple struggled with distance, career demands, and future plans, ultimately deciding to part ways amicably.
Relationship Timeline and Key Details
Martin and Johnson began dating in late 2017 and were engaged for several years. They maintained a relatively private relationship, occasionally appearing together at events and family outings.
Reports indicate the breakup had been “effectively over for some time,” with formal closure delayed by scheduling conflicts. Johnson was reportedly “devastated” by the split, especially due to her close bond with Martin’s children, Apple and Moses.
In a recent Vogue Q&A, Johnson identified “men who wear flip-flops in public” as a red flag, sparking speculation that she may have been referencing Martin’s famously casual style.
Public Reactions and Media Coverage
Entertainment outlets have widely covered the breakup, with fans expressing surprise at the end of one of Hollywood’s quieter long-term relationships. Johnson has since become more vocal about her personal boundaries, while Martin has remained focused on Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour.
Sources close to the couple told Music Times that Johnson had hoped to start a family, while Martin was “done with that part of life,” contributing to their separation.
What’s Next for Martin and Johnson
Martin continues touring with Coldplay across Europe and is reportedly spending more time in London. He has recently been linked to Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner, though neither party has confirmed the rumors.
Johnson, meanwhile, is promoting upcoming projects and has hinted at a new chapter in her personal life. She remains active in film and fashion, with several releases slated for early 2026.
