Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson seven-year romance is still going strong despite Daily Mail’s report to the contrary, a rep for Johnson told TMZ Friday.
The claim that what appeared to be one of Hollywood’s most stable relationships is over came as a huge shock to fans of the celebrity couple, after the Mail reported “irreconcilable work schedules” had caused their split. Turns out—not true—Johnson’s rep said the couple is still happily together.
The claims were based on photos of the 34-year-old Fifty Shades of Grey star walking her dog in Malibu, California earlier this month without her engagement ring, and the fact she didn’t accompany Martin, 47, on Coldplay’s European tour, although she was at Glastonbury for the band’s set in June.
The Mail quoted an alleged source who claimed: “Chris and Dakota have tried desperately hard over the past few months to make their relationship work. They’ll always have love for each other but they’ve both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term.”
The Coldplay frontman famously split from ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow after ten years of marriage and two children in 2014, describing it as a “conscious uncoupling.”
Johnson, the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, had reportedly become friends with Paltrow, who described the actress as being part of the family.
