Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have reportedly called off their engagement after nearly eight years together.
Despite being photographed together in Malibu, California, in May, the pair recently split, People reported on Wednesday, June 4.
Us Weekly has reached out to reps for Martin, 48, and Johnson, 35, for comment.
In recent months, the pair have faced speculation about the status of their relationship. Despite supporting Martin during his summer 2024 tour with Coldplay, Johnson raised eyebrows when she was spotted without her engagement ring in Los Angeles.
Johnson’s rep, however, denied there were any issues, telling Us in August 2024, “The reports are not true. They are happily together.”
In addition to their rare public outing in Malibu last month, Martin and Johnson were photographed holding hands in India at the beginning of the year. During the trip, the pair were filmed participating in a religious ceremony at Mumbai’s Hindu House of Prayer Babulnath Temple.
Us Weekly exclusively confirmed in December 2017 that the Coldplay singer and Johnson were dating. (Martin’s divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow was finalized in July 2016. They share two children, Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.)
The notoriously private couple — who were rarely photographed together — briefly broke up in the summer of 2019.
Martin and Johnson, however, got back together one month later with a little help from Paltrow, 52.
“Gwyneth is the one who pushed them to do it,” a source told Us in August 2019.
In January 2020, Paltrow confirmed her love and respect for Martin’s new flame during a candid interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
“I love her,” the Goop founder shared with the publication. “I can see how it would seem weird because it’s sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her.”
Martin has remained grateful for the peaceful dynamic between Johnson and his ex-wife. After news broke of his and Johnson’s engagement in March 2024, a source told Us that “one of the most important things to Chris is how beautifully Dakota fits into the lives of him and his children.”
The insider added that Martin and Johnson planned to invite Paltrow to their wedding.
“They absolutely plan on having Apple and Moses there, and they wouldn’t feel complete without inviting Gwyneth too,” the insider shared. “Dakota and Gwyneth have grown very close over the years and they consider themselves family at this point.”
