Accounts of Chris Martin's Departure - Is Dakota Johnson sporting her engagement ring?
Whispers of a divide between Dakota Johnson (34) and her beau, Chris Martin (47) of Coldplay, started swirling on August 16. Yet, a representative for the actress swiftly dismissed these reports. Later on the same day, images emerged of Johnson in Malibu, California, sporting a band on her finger, which many suspected to be an engagement ring, seemingly aiming to quash the split rumors.
Rumors and swift debunking
The vibrant green stone adorned the ring visible in photos acquired by the American "People" magazine. Johnson donned it while out and about in Malibu with pals, including "The Bear" actor Jeremy Allen White (33).
Additionally, on August 16, the British "Daily Mail" disclosed, citing an anonymous source, that the pair had drifted apart, called off their supposed engagement, and acknowledged the end of their seven-year relationship. However, a representative for Johnson later countered these allegations, confirming to "People" magazine that Johnson and Martin are "still going strong."
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin: Secret engagement a while back?
Johnson and Martin have preferred to keep their relationship under wraps since its inception. The duo is scarcely seen in public events together. The last time they appeared publicly was at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK in late June, where Martin performed as the main act with his band. In February of this year, they were snapped by paparazzi, hand in hand, on a beach vacation in Mexico.
Johnson and Martin's romance went public with a public date in 2017. A year prior, Martin parted ways with his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow (51). They were married from 2003 to 2016 and share two children.
Rumors of a possible, yet unverified, engagement between Johnson and Martin have persisted since December 2020, after Johnson was first spotted donning her green engagement ring. In March 2024, a source told "People": "They got engaged years ago, but they weren't in a rush to tie the knot."
Despite the rumors of separation circulating on August 16, a representative for Dakota Johnson swiftly dismissed them, ensuring the public that the reports were unfounded. However, the persisting rumors of an engagement between Johnson and Chris Martin continued, with sources suggesting that they had been engaged for several years, although they had yet to tie the knot.
