In a surprising twist that’s sent shockwaves through Hollywood, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have allegedly called it quits after an eight-year on-off romance. Insiders have revealed that Dakota, currently 35, grew increasingly frustrated with Chris’s reluctance to set a wedding date, leaving her feeling “sick” of the uncertainty.
Sources claim that the couple, who initially sparked romance rumors in 2017 after Chris’s split from Gwyneth Paltrow, found themselves in a cycle of heartbreak. An insider confessed to Page Six</a"She was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding."
At 48, Chris is no stranger to commitment, having spent 13 years married to Gwyneth, with whom he shares two children. However, Dakota’s family aspirations contrasted sharply with his. An inside source shared, “They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids,” as reported by the Mirror.
With Dakota yet to take the plunge into marriage or motherhood, her dreams of a family conflict with Chris’s desire to keep his current status. A confidant informed the Sun</a"The age gap was often a problem. She expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life."
This tug-of-war over their future was a gnawing issue that strained their relationship over time.
The emotional fallout from their split has hit Dakota particularly hard. Known for her captivating roles in the Fifty Shades franchise and last year’s Madame Web, she now finds herself trying to navigate the heartbreak while juggling film projects like Materialists and Verity.
Career triumphs, it seems, haven’t lightened the burden of their breakup.
The latest gossip has painted a somber picture of their parting. Another insider revealed, “Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids. They’d break up and make up, but little things kept adding up, making them not right for each other anymore.” Dakota is heartbroken about not being around Chris’s kids, but she wants them to know she’ll always be there for them.
