Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin’s romance has reportedly come to an end, with sources indicating that the primary issue stemmed from Martin’s hesitance to set a wedding date. The couple, who began dating in 2017 and became engaged later, have quietly separated, although representatives for both stars have not officially confirmed the split.
An insider revealed that Johnson became frustrated with Martin’s reluctance to move forward with their plans for marriage. “She was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding,” the source stated. This sentiment echoes past reports from DailyMail which suggested that the couple’s relationship had faced challenges for some time, with the two struggling to make their split official.
Interestingly, only days before the news of their breakup emerged, Martin hinted at his support for Johnson during a Coldplay concert in Las Vegas, where he referred to her latest film and encouraged the audience to be kind to one another. Fans interpreted his comments in various ways, with some believing it implied that their relationship might still be intact.
Despite the separation, Johnson’s bond with Martin’s children appears to have remained strong. A source mentioned that Dakota is upset about not being able to see them as much, but reassured them of her continual support. There are even suggestions that a reconciliation might be possible, with time apart potentially benefiting their future together.
Their relationship has also been marked by unique dynamics, especially considering Martin’s previous marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow, which they famously termed “conscious uncoupling.” Fans have noted similarities in how both relationships navigated complexities, showing that even after romantic relationships end, bonds can persist in different forms.
Johnson’s affection towards Martin’s children was evident as she expressed, “I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.” This connection could pave the way for a future friendship post-split.
Although their romantic journey may have hit a rough patch, the care and love both have shown toward each other and their families reflect a positive approach to navigating life’s changes.
