Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin Have Reportedly Broken Up After 8 Years

So, it looks like Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have officially ended their relationship. Yeah, it’s kind of sad to hear — they were together for a really long time. From what’s coming out now, the breakup apparently happened sometime in early June 2025. Sources close to the couple say that this time it feels pretty final. Not one of those temporary breakups, you know? Both of them always kept their relationship pretty private, so we never saw a lot of drama — but still, the news is surprising to many fans who thought they were in it for the long run.

How It All Started Quietly Back in 2017

They first got together way back in October 2017. Chris had already separated from Gwyneth Paltrow by then, and Dakota was just kind of quietly building her acting career. There was never much noise around their relationship — they didn’t post about each other, no big public events, just quiet dates and vacations. That’s probably one reason people admired their bond. Over the years, they became really close — she spent time with his kids, and they were seen enjoying time with family. But, like many relationships, things looked calm on the outside while they may have been more complicated behind the scenes.

Engagement Rumors Were True – But Marriage Never Happened

There were talks about them being engaged, and apparently, that was true — they had been engaged for years. But they never seemed in a rush to get married. It wasn’t a big public thing. They were just doing things their way. A few reports have said that they had some serious differences — like Dakota being open to starting a family, while Chris, who already has kids, wasn’t too sure about going through all that again. That kind of stuff can be really hard to work through, even if you really care about someone.

What We Know About the Breakup

Right now, people close to them are saying that this breakup isn’t just another bump in the road — it feels like they’re really done this time. Dakota was last seen with Chris just a couple of weeks before the news came out, and since then, she’s been busy with work. She’s got a new romantic comedy coming up called The Materialists. In an interview not long ago, she actually talked about how society puts pressure on women to get married and settle down — and how she doesn’t fully agree with that. Maybe that was a hint about what was coming?

Final Thoughts

To be honest, they always seemed like a quiet, solid couple — not chasing headlines or showing off their relationship. That’s why this feels a bit unexpected. But relationships are complex, and sometimes even strong couples outgrow each other. They’re both reportedly still on good terms, and each focusing on their own work now. Whatever the full story is, it’s their story — and people should give them space. Breakups happen, even after years together. And in this case, it seems like they both gave it a fair shot.
