Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin: A Complete Relationship Timeline

Updated on 17 Aug at 8:07 am

Dakota Johnson and Coldplay front man Chris Martin are still going strong—or so we’re told.

The habitually private pair began dating years after Martin’s conscious uncoupling from ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he shares children Apple and Moses. Paltrow has since embraced Johnson completely, allegedly even encouraging her ex-husband to reunite with the Madame Web star after a brief split in 2019.

As far as we know, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have been together ever since, with recent reports suggesting the pair have low-key been engaged for years. However, in March 2024, a source told People that they were “back on,” implying the pair had secretly split and reconciled without the world knowing a thing.

Here’s everything we know about the mysterious couple’s love story, with the most recent updates up top.

2024

August 2024: On August 16, Johnson’s rep tells People that the actor and musician “are happily together” following reports that they called off their engagement.

While a source told The Daily Mail that the couple “accepted the relationship is over” and “it’s best to move on,” Johnson’s rep denied the split to Page Six as well. “The reports are not true,” the rep said. “They are happily together.”

June 2024: The pair are “going strong,” a source tells People on June 11. “They’ve had ups and downs, but now they’re definitely back on,” reports the article, which is a strange statement as we hadn’t heard any rumors of them being off. A few weeks later, Johnson is spotted watching Martin’s Glastonbury Festival performance alongside his children, Apple and Moses

March 2024: A source tells People on March 8 that the Coldplay frontman, 47, and the Madame Web star, 34, “got engaged years ago, but were in no rush to get married.” This tracks with their other comments, such as when Johnson casually referred to Martin’s kid as her stepson, and the fact that she’s occasionally been spotted wearing a large emerald on her ring finger.

2023

June 2023: In a video shared by the Daily Mail, Martin can be seen singing directly to Johnson during a set in Naples. Johnson blows him a kiss in response.
