Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson's breakup rumour
Chris and Dakota began their relationship following the singer's amicable separation from ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he has two children, Apple and Moses. Speculation about a split between Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin started circulating in early 2024.
The speculation intensified when a source hinted that the couple had secretly split and reconciled without the public knowing. In March 2024, a report surfaced suggesting that the Coldplay frontman and the Madame Web actress had been engaged for years but were not in any rush to marry.

This started further chatter of a possible breakup, but by June, a source told People that the couple was "going strong" after overcoming past ups and downs, suggesting they were still very much together. The rumours resurfaced in August, with reports claiming the couple had ended their engagement. However, Dakota Johnson’s representative quickly shut down these claims, insisting the couple was "happily together."
In December, Chris addressed the rumors in a Rolling Stone interview, stating that romantic love was a big part of life but emphasized that it was important to keep things private.
