While the reason for the couple’s recent split has not been disclosed, sources have previously offered insights into their relationship, highlighting its ups and downs. In March 2024, an insider told People that Johnson and Martin had been engaged for “years.” Although engagement rumors began circulating in 2020, the source noted that the couple was "in no rush to get married."
Speculation about a breakup emerged again in August 2024, but at the time, a representative for Johnson reportedly denied the claims, stating the two were "happily together."
A source said around the same time, according to People, "Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can."As of June 2024, a source noted that Martin and Johnson had experienced “ups and downs,” but were “definitely back on.” The couple has continued to keep their relationship largely private.

While promoting the movie, Johnson reflected on modern relationships in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, saying:“For a long time, we’ve been so quick to judge relationships—how they should happen, how they should exist. When people should get married. That divorce is bad. But if you think about it, why is divorce bad? Why do people have to get married at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn’t matter.”
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin first got together three years after Martin and his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, “consciously uncoupled” before finalizing their divorce a year later. The exes have daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses, 19.

Over the years, Paltrow, 52, and Johnson have gotten close. The Goop founder gushed over their tight bond in 2020.
“I love her,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I can see how it would seem weird because it’s sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her. I always start to think of the ampersand sign — what else can you bring in, instead of being resistant to or being made insecure by? There’s so much juice in leaning in to something like that.”
