Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson Split After 8 Years

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly ended their nearly eight-year, on-and-off relationship, with sources indicating the breakup appears final. The couple, together since 2017 and quietly engaged for several years, were last seen publicly in May 2025. Insiders attribute the split to longstanding issues, including differing views on marriage, starting a family, and demanding careers. Johnson is said to be especially affected due to her close bond with Martin's children from his previous marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow. While neither has publicly commented, friends suggest a reconciliation is not impossible, but both are currently focused on their careers. The breakup has surprised and saddened many fans after months of speculation.
