Dakota Johnson is apparently back on the dating scene. About five months after her split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, the actress has started seeing other men again. A source reveals that she seems “lighter” and happy.
Five months after the end of her nearly eight-year relationship, Dakota Johnson is apparently making a fresh start. The actress has begun dating other men again—and seems to be doing well. “She’s slowly started dating again and she’s happy,” a source told People magazine. The 36-year-old daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson and Coldplay singer Chris Martin separated in June.
According to the report, the breakup seems to have done Johnson a world of good. “Her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold, and although she always hoped it would work out, she now seems lighter and more peaceful now that it’s finally over,” the source continued.
Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson: Almost eight years together
Several sources confirmed in early June that Johnson and 48-year-old Martin had ended their relationship. The couple had been together since 2017 and were last photographed together on May 16. The split came about three months after an insider told People magazine that the two had been engaged for “years.” Engagement rumors first surfaced in 2020, but at the time, the couple was said to be “in no hurry to get married.”
About two weeks after the breakup, a source told People magazine that the split “wasn’t exactly a shock.” The relationship had “been experiencing the same problems for a while.” Just five days after the breakup was confirmed, Johnson appeared on the Today Show and offered an amusing insight into her expectations for future partners. When asked what would be “non-negotiable” for her if she were to work with a matchmaker, she replied succinctly: “That he’s not an asshole?”
