The\u00a0Materialist<\/em> star has opened up on her new press tour\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-name” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Black Han Sans|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font=”|||on|||||” header_4_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”] Words by Nikki Peach<\/strong><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/imago821789496-scaled.jpg” alt=”Jennifer Aniston” title_text=”New Yokr premiere of movie ‘Materialists'” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] For several months now, unconfirmed reports that Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have split up have circulated online at regular intervals. Up until recently, they\u2019ve been denied either by Martin and Johnson\u2019s reps or by new pictures of them looking very much together.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, last week, a source told People<\/em> that \u2018it feels final this time\u2019 following reports that they had broken up for good. The actress and musician first started dating in October 2017 and were last pictured together in mid-May in Malibu, where they share a home, but prior to that hadn\u2019t been seen together since January.<\/p>\n Neither Martin nor Johnson have responded publicly to these new reports. But some fans believe Johnson has nodded to a possible end to their relationship while discussed her role in her new film, Materialists<\/em>, in an interview with The Los Angeles Times<\/em>. When asked what made the role \u2018feel different\u2019 she replied: \u2018The complexities of all the characters. The paradox. Everyone being confused about what the f**k they\u2019re supposed to do with their hearts and what\u2019s the right move. I found that very honest, and I found it just so relatable.\u2019<\/p>\n Johnson went on, \u2018For a long time, we\u2019ve all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world, when people should get married, divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad? Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn\u2019t matter.\u2019<\/p>\n It’s possible she was referring to the ebbs and flows of her own relationship with Martin \u2013 one that has played out in the public eye. They were rumoured to have split for the first time in June 2019, before getting back together in December and prompting engagement rumours. In March 2024, reports claimed that the couple had been ‘secretly’ engaged for six years, with a source telling People<\/em> they were \u2018in no rush to get married\u2019.<\/p>\n Last August, break up rumours started up again, however Johnson\u2019s rep insisted the couple was \u2018happily together\u2019. Shortly afterwards, she was seen wearing a large, emerald engagement ring for the first time in front of paparazzi. A source later claimed that the duo has \u2018had issues and taken breaks in the past\u2019 as they \u2018both love their careers\u2019 and \u2018are balancing things the best they can\u2019.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”] Earlier this week, Johnson added fuel to the latest bout of rumours by describing her dating non-negotiables. Today<\/em> show host Craig Melvin asked Johnson and her Materialists<\/em> co-star Chris Evans, \u2018If either of you were to engage with a real-life matchmaker, what would be one non-negotiable for you?\u2019 While Evans declared his partner \u2018must love dogs\u2019, Johnson\u2019s answer was arguably more telling. \u2018Like, not an a**hole,\u2019 she said, which won a laugh from the audience.<\/p>\n The actress was also seen without her engagement ring and while she has not always worn it, especially in public, its absence has been read by some as further confirmation that the couple have parted ways.<\/p>\n \u2018They really tried to work through their issues, but the age gap was often a problem,\u2019 one source said The Sun<\/em>. \u2018She\u2019d expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life.’ Another source suggested Martin had been \u2018dragging his feet\u2019 when it came to the wedding \u2013 as a six plus year engagement might suggest. \u2018She was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date,’ the source offered.<\/p>\n \u2018Dakota wanted this relationship to work,\u2019 claimed another source. \u2018She not only loves Chris, but his two kids, and that loss feels incredibly painful. The decision to end things was amicable, but Dakota is finding it hard. Over the past year, it became clear that their relationship had stalled and wasn\u2019t moving forwards. Settling down, as in Chris properly taking his foot off the pedal, isn\u2019t going to happen. And, ultimately, it was one of the many straws that broke the back of them.\u2019<\/p>\n Whatever state their relationship might be in, it seems Martin is keen to remain on amicable terms. He performed with his band Coldplay over the weekend and made sure to shout out Johnson\u2019s new film at the end of the gig. \u2018Thank you so much, everybody. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to each other. Don\u2019t forget to see Materialists<\/em>. We love you.’<\/p>\n Neither Johnson or Martin\u2019s reps have officially confirmed the break up.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”] Photo: <\/b>IMAGO<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Materialists actor is rumoured to have split with Chris Martin for good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":10785,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10784"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10784\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10802,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10784\/revisions\/10802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘Like, not an a**hole.’ \u2013 Dakota Johnson<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
