Finding a photo of Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson together is a feat worthy of the most astute private investigator, even though they have been a couple for six years. After his separation from Gwyneth Paltrow, the woman with whom he shared red carpets, public outings and other photo shoots, it seems obvious that the singer of Coldplay does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past with his partner, the actress from Fifty Shades of Grey, twelve years his junior. The only photos of them together are pixelated as they are taken from a distance, emphasizing how much they value their privacy.
Which does not prevent them, on the contrary, from supporting each other, in complete discretion. Dakota Johnson is often found in the front row of Chris Martin’s concerts, as his biggest fan. Although we have no proof that he personally accompanies her to international festivals and events to which she is constantly invited, we are more than certain that the singer is also proud of the success of his other half, who has achieved a feat impossible to achieve: to forget that she is a child of the ball, Dakota being the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.
A reunited family
The strength of their union lies precisely in the total reserve in relation to others and in the tenderness of little things. As proven by Chris Martin who, during the Italian dates of the Coldplay tour, singled her out in the stands by dedicating My Universe to her, explaining that whatever happens, “he will always put her first”.
And like this time when, during Dakota Johnson’s Zoom connection at the Sundance Film Festival, he helped his fiancée set up the webcam on his computer, to loud applause from the audience. Even if those who would like to see them married are not left out, you can be sure that if they decide to take the plunge, no one will know: Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson do not wish to make public the details of their relationship, let alone the idea of putting a ring on each other’s fingers. What we do know is that they are happier than ever, both in Malibu, where they have lived for a long time, and within Chris’s extended family. Dakota’s relationship with Moses, Chris’ son, and his ex Gwyneth Paltrow – present at the San Siro stadium at the Coldplay tour concert in Milan – are also going strong, which bodes well for the the couple’s common future.
“We go out sometimes, but we both work so much that we like to stay at home, out of sight. Most of the parties we throw take place at my house,” the actress explained in a rare interview with Elle in 2021, dedicated to her relationship with Chris Martin, confirming their intention to expose themselves as little as possible and enjoy their rare moments of relaxation.
For good reason, they are both very busy: he with his tours with the group and promoting his album, and she constantly on the film sets. Whatever their shared future, they couldn’t be closer at the moment, given their schedules as ministers.
