After nearly eight years of an on-and-off romance, Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have called it quits – and sources say this time, it’s final.

Multiple insiders confirmed that the Coldplay frontman, 48, and the Materialists actress, 35, have officially ended their relationship.

“It feels final this time,” one source said of the separation.

Representatives for both stars have not responded to requests for comment.

Engaged ‘for years’

The couple, who first sparked romance rumours in 2017, were last seen together publicly just two weeks ago on May 16, enjoying a low-key outing in Malibu.

Earlier this year in January, the pair were spotted hand-in-hand in India during Coldplay’s tour.

In March, an insider told PEOPLE that Martin and Johnson had quietly been engaged “for years,” following widespread speculation since 2020.

“They were in no rush to get married,” the source added at the time.

Though breakup rumours emerged last August, Johnson’s rep swiftly denied them, insisting the couple was “happily together.”

At the time, a source echoed that sentiment: “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.”

Despite that optimism, it appears the challenges in their relationship ultimately proved too great.

Previous marriage

Dakota Johnson had spoken warmly about her connection with Chris Martin’s children from his previous marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow – Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.

“I love those kids like my life depends on it,” she said last year.

She also expressed admiration for Chris Martin’s artistry: “I could watch him every day… I feel like I’m watching my most favourite being do his most favourite thing.”

Johnson, known for her role in Fifty Shades of Grey, is currently promoting her new romantic comedy Materialists, which hits theatres on Friday, 13 June.
