Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin Split After Eight Years

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have officially ended their nearly eight-year relationship, with multiple sources confirming the split in early June 2025. The couple, who began dating in late 2017, had maintained a private yet enduring partnership, often described as ‘on-again, off-again.’ Despite previous reconciliations, insiders suggest that this separation feels definitive.

Throughout their relationship, Johnson and Martin kept their personal lives largely out of the public eye, though they occasionally shared glimpses of their bond. In March 2024, it was revealed that the pair had been engaged for several years, having chosen to keep this milestone private. They were last publicly seen together in Malibu in May 2025, shortly before Johnson attended the Cannes Film Festival solo.

While neither Johnson nor Martin has publicly commented on the breakup, the actress alluded to complex relationship dynamics during a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, reflecting on societal expectations surrounding relationships and marriage.

The split marks the end of a significant chapter for both individuals, who had blended their lives and families over the years. Johnson had developed a close relationship with Martin’s children from his previous marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow, expressing deep affection for them in past interviews.

As both continue to focus on their respective careers, Johnson is set to star in the upcoming romantic comedy ‘Materialists,’ scheduled for release on June 13, 2025.
