Dakota Johnson is dating again after split from Chris Martin

Hollywood actress Dakota Johnson seems to be back in the dating circle. This comes roughly five months after she and Chris Martin broke up.

Actress Dakota Johnson is back on the dating circle!

Dakota, who split from the Coldplay lead singer in June, has been slowly dating again and she’s happy, reports a magazine. According to a source, her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold, and while she always hoped they’d work out, she seems lighter and more at peace now that “it’s final”. Multiple sources confirmed in June that Dakota, 36, and Chris, 48, had ended their nearly eight-year relationship.

The pair were first romantically linked in 2017 and photographed together as recently as May 16. A source said, “She’s in a great place. She’s busy, fulfilled and she’s moved on.”

Dakota and Chris’ split came roughly three months after an insider shared that the pair had been engaged for “years”.

They initially sparked engagement rumors in 2020 but were “in no rush to get married” then, per the source. Roughly two weeks after Chris and Dakota’s split, a source said that the breakup “wasn't exactly a shock”, adding that the pair’s relationship “had the same issues for a while”.

When she appeared on the Today Show days after the break-up was confirmed, she gave an amusingly short answer about what she would demand as a “non-negotiable” if she were to work with a real-life matchmaker.

“Like, not an a--h---?” she said at the time. As Dakota nears the end of 2025, she has one new movie in the works: an adaptation of author Colleen Hoover’s Verity, due in theaters October 2, 2026. This year, she starred in both Materialists and the comedy Splitsville. The actress and producer is also setting out on directing her own feature film for the first time with a new movie titled A Tree Is Blue, which will co-star Jessica Alba.
