Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are back together and stronger than ever, according to sources close to the couple. The actress, 34, and the Coldplay frontman, 47, have weathered their share of ups and downs but are now in a solid place in their relationship.
As Johnson debuts her new film “Daddio” at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, Martin is busy with Coldplay’s world tour. Despite their hectic schedules, the couple is reportedly “going strong,” a source told PEOPLE.
The pair, who began dating in 2017, were last seen together in February during a romantic getaway to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Their relationship started three years after Martin’s high-profile divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow, which was finalized in 2016.
Over the years, Johnson and Martin have kept their relationship relatively private. In March, a source revealed that the couple “got engaged years ago” but have not been in a rush to tie the knot. Johnson was spotted wearing a large emerald ring on her left hand in December 2020, but the couple did not comment on it at the time.
Recently, Martin and Paltrow were seen together in Los Angeles attending their 18-year-old son’s high school graduation. Johnson, who has been filming “Materialists” in New York City, was absent from the ceremony, as she was busy shooting scenes with co-star Chris Evans.
Martin did not accompany Johnson to the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of “Daddio,” where she stars alongside their neighbor Sean Penn. Coldplay is currently on the European leg of their world tour, with their next performance scheduled in Bucharest on June 12. The band will continue touring Europe and Australia through November.
Johnson was seen wearing her emerald ring during her 34th birthday celebration with Martin in Los Angeles last October and at a Hope for Depression Research Foundation event in November. However, she did not wear the ring while hosting “Saturday Night Live” in January. At the Tribeca Festival on June 10, she sported a different dark green ring on her middle finger.
In addition to “Daddio,” Johnson stars in the new movie “Am I Ok?,” which is currently streaming on Max.
Despite their busy careers, Johnson and Martin have managed to keep their relationship strong. The couple, who have been together for six years, have faced challenges but have always found their way back to each other. In June 2019, they briefly split, reportedly due to Martin’s desire to have children, a step Johnson was not ready to take at the time. However, they reconciled before the summer ended.
Johnson has expressed her love for Martin’s children, Apple, 19, and Moses, 17, whom he shares with Paltrow. In an interview with Bustle, Johnson said she loves the kids “like my life depends on it” and is open to having children of her own if it is meant to be.
The couple has lived together in a multi-million-dollar Malibu beach house for several years. Martin enjoys surfing, while Johnson likes to swim, making their home an ideal location. Johnson also enjoys driving around in a 1965 Mustang that Martin bought her as a birthday present.
They support each other professionally, with Johnson attending Martin’s concerts and Martin showing up at Johnson’s premieres. In June 2023, Martin even serenaded Johnson during a Coldplay concert in Naples. The couple has also collaborated professionally, with Johnson directing Coldplay’s 2020 music video for “Cry Cry Cry.”
As they continue to navigate their busy lives, Johnson and Martin’s relationship appears to be stronger than ever. With their love and support for each other, they are proving that they are indeed back together and stronger than before.
