LOS ANGELES, June 5: Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly ended their nearly eight-year on-and-off relationship, multiple sources tell People.

"It feels final this time," one source said about the split. Representatives for both Johnson and Martin did not respond to requests for comment.

The actress, 35, known for her role in The Materialists, and Coldplay’s lead singer, 48, were first linked romantically in 2017. They were recently seen together in Malibu on May 16, just two weeks ago. Earlier this year in January, the couple was also spotted holding hands in India while Martin was on tour.

In March 2024, an insider revealed to People that Johnson and Martin had been engaged for "years," after engagement rumors first surfaced in 2020. However, they were reportedly “in no rush to get married” at that time.

When rumors of a breakup emerged in August 2024, a representative for Johnson denied the claims, stating the couple was "happily together." A source added, "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."

The couple has largely kept their relationship private, but in June 2024, a source noted that despite their "ups and downs," they were “definitely back on.”

Johnson has spoken warmly about her role in the lives of Martin’s two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, son Moses and daughter Apple, now 19 and 21. "I love those kids like my life depends on it," Johnson told Bustle. "With all my heart."

She also shared her admiration for watching Martin perform, saying, "I don’t know. I love watching him. I could watch him every day. I don’t know how to explain it. I feel like, I don’t know... I’m watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing."

As Johnson promotes her upcoming film Materialists, in which she stars alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, she reflected on relationships in an interview with the Los Angeles Times published June 4.

"For a long time we’ve all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world. When people should get married. Divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad?" she said. "Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn’t matter."
