Dakota Johnson, an actress known for her roles in films like “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “The Social Network,” and Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of the band Coldplay, have been linked romantically since 2017. While the couple has kept their relationship relatively private, paparazzi have occasionally seen them together at public events and taken pictures of them.
On November 29, Gwyneth Paltrow, the ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, caused a stir on social media when she posted a lovely photo with Dakota Johnson on Instagram.
The two actresses were seen walking together, holding hands, and smiling. Paltrow has previously stated that she is close friends with Johnson, who is dating her ex-husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Dakota Johnson's private affair with Coldplay vocalist Chris Martin has left admirers wondering if they are still together. So here's what we know so far:
When did Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin begin dating?
Dakota and Chris began dating in 2017, more than three years after his “conscious uncoupling” with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. The Iron Man actress adores her ex-husband's partner, gushing about Dakota more in the press than Chris has.
“I love her,” Gwyneth said of Dakota in the February 2020 issue of Harper's Bazaar. “I see how that would appear strange since it is unusual. But I think, in this case, having gone through it repeatedly, I simply adore her.”
Are Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin still together?
In an interview for the February 2022 issue of Elle UK, the 50 Shades of Grey stars admitted, “We've been together for a long time, and we go out occasionally. But we both work so hard that it's pleasant to be at home, snug, and private.”
The pair frequently hosts entertainment business pals for events at their house on Malibu's Point Dume. “Most of the partying takes place inside my house,” Dakota stated.
In May 2022, the two were caught holding hands during a sushi date. Chris and Dakota appeared happy and in love as they ate at Sushi Park in West Hollywood, California.
The British artist has also made his presence known in Dakota's life through some videos. In March 2020, shortly after COVID-19 home lockdowns began, Dakota posted a funny Instagram instructional on how to properly wash one's hands in front of her kitchen sink. But the arms and hands seen in the video were Chris', as he stood behind her off-camera and inserted his limbs into the shot.
Chris made amusing gestures while Dakota tried not to laugh out loud as she ad-libbed to his over-the-top handwashing and countertop-splashing antics. The video demonstrated how enjoyable and adorable the couple is together without even showing Chris' face.
Dakota held a virtual chat with the crew behind the film Cha Cha Real Smooth for the Sundance Film Festival in January 2022, with the “Sky Full of Stars” singer serving as AV tech.
Her video screen appeared at the last minute, seemingly due to a technical issue, and showed Chris seated next to Dakota, assisting in the repair of whatever had gone wrong. The pair grinned and laughed as the musician stood up and exited the room, flashing the peace sign and allowing Dakota to continue her work.
Dakota and Chris seem to be doing well in their love bubble. In June 2023, the Madame Web actress was seen with the musician and his kid, Moses, whom he shares with Gwen, in Naples. Dakota was seen kissing her man when he caught her eye on stage.

In December 2023, an informant told Life & Style that Chris is “able to lift” Dakota's “spirits with his humor and wisdom.”
“When she's sad, she knows she can count on him to be there. “They talk it out,” the insider exclaimed. “He'll go to treatment with her if she wants. He cares that much.
