Multiple sources confirmed that Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin had split after roughly eight years together in June
Dakota Johnson is dipping her toes back into the dating pool, some five months after she and Chris Martin broke up.
Johnson, who split from the Coldplay lead singer in June, “has been slowly dating again and she’s happy,” a source said. “Her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold, and while she always hoped they’d work out, she seems lighter and more at peace now that it’s final.”
Multiple sources confirmed in June 4 that Johnson, 36, and Martin, 48, had ended their nearly eight-year relationship. The pair were first romantically linked in 2017 and photographed together as recently as May 16.

Johnson and Martin’s split came roughly three months after an insider said that the pair had been engaged for “years.” They initially sparked engagement rumors in 2020 but were “in no rush to get married” then, per the source.
Roughly two weeks after Martin and Johnson’s split, a source said that the breakup “wasn’t exactly a shock,” adding that the pair’s relationship “had the same issues for a while.”
When she appeared on the Today show on June 9, days after confirmed the breakup, she gave an amusingly short answer about what she would demand as a “non-negotiable” if she were to work with a real-life matchmaker.
“Like, not an a–h—?” she said at the time.
As Johnson nears the end of 2025, she has one new movie in the works: an adaptation of author Colleen Hoover’s Verity, due in theaters Oct. 2, 2026.
This year, she starred in both Materialists and the comedy Splitsville. The actress and producer is also setting out on directing her own feature film for the first time with a new movie titled A Tree Is Blue, which will costar Jessica Alba and Charli xcx.
