Hollywood relationships

In a surprising turn of events, Chris Martin publicly supported Dakota Johnson’s upcoming movie “Materialists” just days before news broke of their split. During a Coldplay concert on June 1, 2025, Martin, 48, expressed his enthusiasm for the film, encouraging fans to watch it. “Thank you so much, everybody. Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other. Don’t forget to go see ‘Materialists,’” he told the crowd in Stanford, California, as captured by fans on social media. His heartfelt message came just days before reports emerged that he and Johnson had ended their nearly eight-year relationship. “Materialists,” which stars Johnson, 35, alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, is set to be released on June 13. The romantic comedy has generated buzz in Hollywood, and Martin’s endorsement was seen as a significant gesture of support for his partner’s work. However, the mood shifted dramatically just a few days later when it was reported on June 4 that Martin and Johnson had called off their engagement. Sources indicated that despite being photographed together in Malibu, California, shortly before the split, the couple had decided to part ways. Representatives for both stars were contacted for comments, but no statements were immediately issued. In the wake of their separation, Johnson was seen in New York City without her engagement ring, fueling speculation about the status of their relationship. Prior to their breakup, the couple faced ongoing rumors regarding their commitment. Johnson had been a regular presence during Coldplay’s summer 2024 tour, yet her absence of the engagement ring raised eyebrows among fans and media alike. In August 2024, Johnson’s representative had dismissed rumors of trouble in paradise, affirming that the couple was “happily together.” Earlier this year, the duo appeared to be thriving, with photographs of them holding hands during a trip to India surfacing online. They were even filmed participating in a religious ceremony at a Hindu temple in Mumbai, showcasing their bond. Martin and Johnson first began dating in December 2017, following Martin’s divorce from actress Gwyneth Paltrow. The couple’s relationship has often been in the spotlight, especially given Martin’s previous marriage and his two children with Paltrow, Apple, 21, and Moses, 19. Although they experienced a brief breakup in 2019, they reconciled after a month apart, with sources indicating that Paltrow played a role in reuniting them. In March 2024, it was confirmed that Martin and Johnson were engaged, with plans to include Apple and Moses in the ceremony. Reports indicated that Johnson and Paltrow had developed a close relationship over the years, further intertwining their lives. As the news of their split continues to circulate, fans are left to wonder about the future of both Martin and Johnson, both personally and professionally. With “Materialists” on the horizon, Johnson is poised to make her mark in the film industry, while Martin remains a prominent figure in music and entertainment. In the world of Hollywood, relationships can be as unpredictable as the roles their stars play. As fans of both Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson, we can only hope for their happiness as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
