Despite the swirling rumors, a spokesperson for Dakota Johnson has clarified the situation. In a statement to PEOPLE, the spokesperson confirmed that Dakota and Chris are “happily together” and have not broken up.

The Engagement Ring Speculation
Part of the speculation around Dakota and Chris’s relationship stemmed from Dakota being spotted without her engagement ring earlier this month. The actress was seen in Malibu, California, without the ring that she had reportedly been wearing since 2020. This led to further rumors that the couple had broken off their engagement.
Adding to the rumors, Dakota was not seen with Chris Martin during Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres” tour in Europe, which further fueled speculation that the couple was facing difficulties. However, these reports have been put to rest by the recent statements from sources close to the couple.

A Relationship That Started in 2017
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin’s relationship began in 2017, three years after Chris’s divorce from actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Chris and Gwyneth were married in 2003 and have two children together: daughter Apple, 20, and son Moses, 18. Following his divorce from Gwyneth, Chris began dating Dakota, and the couple has been together ever since.
Before dating Chris, Dakota was in relationships with singer Matthew Hitt and American actor Jordan Masterson. Her relationship with Chris, however, has been the most high-profile of her romances, with the couple often making headlines due to their celebrity status.
Media Speculation and the Reality
The media has often speculated about Dakota and Chris’s relationship, with rumors of engagement and breakup making the rounds over the years. However, the couple has managed to maintain a relatively private relationship, choosing to keep much of their personal life out of the spotlight.
The recent rumors of a breakup appear to be just that—rumors. With confirmation from Dakota’s spokesperson and sources close to the couple, it seems that Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are still very much together and committed to their relationship. As always, the couple continues to navigate their relationship with the same discretion and privacy that they have maintained throughout their time together.
