After conflicting rumors, Dakota Johnson was spotted wearing Chris Martin’s engagement ring
Despite reports that she and her fiancé Chris Martin had broken up, Dakota Johnson is still sporting her engagement ring.
On Friday, August 16, the 34-year-old Cha Cha Real Smooth actress was photographed out in Malibu, California, with her friends Blake Lee and Jeremy Allen White. For the occasion, Johnson donned jeans and an oversized brown coat. Her left ring finger was adorned with an emerald engagement ring.
Following rumors that Johnson and the 47-year-old vocalist of Coldplay had split up, the ring was spotted. A representative for the Madame Web star told PEOPLE that the pair is «happy together» on the same day that the pictures were taken.
The last time Martin and Johnson were seen together was in June, when Johnson went to the Glastonbury Festival to back the «Fix You» singer during Coldplay’s main performance. At the time, a source close to the pair told PEOPLE, «They’ve had ups and downs, but now they’re definitely back on,» and they were «going strong.»
Three years after the artist and his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow parted ways, or as they infamously described it, «consciously uncoupled,» Martin and Johnson started dating. In December 2020, the actress from Fifty Shades of Grey was first spotted with the emerald ring on her left ring finger. She did not, however, get confirmation of her engagement to Martin until March 2024.
The couple’s close friend stated at the time, «[They] got engaged years ago, but were in no rush to get married.»
Despite having public jobs, Johnson and Martin would rather keep their relationship as secret as possible, but they have occasionally spoken about one another and attended each other’s events.
Most recently, Martin discussed Johnson with Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast listeners in March 2023, discussing how she enhanced his band’s performances for those with hearing difficulties.
«Dakota, my partner, gave me one as a gift because she saw someone online experiencing whatever they are experiencing with this,» he remarked after the actress had shown him a SubPac, a gadget that lets deaf individuals experience the vibrations of a performance.
It’s similar to putting on body armor. It’s related to the bass,» Martin went on.
«Now that we’re using it, it’s been incredible and it should only get better,» he continued. We currently have ten or twenty of those packs. We therefore provide a location where you may put on the pack and feel the performance if you have hearing loss.»
