A complete timeline of Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin’s relationship

Johnson reportedly attended Martin’s concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, according to Elle. 

The same month, the duo was seen together in Israel, where they both attended a Nick Cave concert and had dinner at Yam Sheva restaurant in Herzliya.

An eyewitness source told Us Weekly, “They came in and they were really, really nice, like extremely nice. It was a surprise. They sat with Nick Cave too. I didn’t see them kiss or hold hands or anything like that. They ordered some starters and not a lot of food.”

“Dakota and Chris are definitely dating. They’ve gotten to know each other really well and are very comfortable from one another. Chris sends Dakota his music to get her opinion. It’s more than just a fling,” a source told Us Weekly.

At the National Television Awards, a Digital Spy reporter asked Don about his daughter’s relationship with Martin. 

The actor replied, “Yeah, that’s… uh troubling, isn’t it? No, she’s a big girl, she can handle herself!”

When asked about Johnson and Martin’s relationship at the Global Gift Foundation USA Women’s Empowerment Luncheon, Griffith told People, “I adore him!”  

The “Something Wild” actor didn’t share further details and added, “But she is very private about her life and I respect that.”

Fans shared photos of the actor and musician when they were seated at a Radiohead concert in Boston. In one photo, Johnson rested her head on Martin’s shoulder. 

People also noted that they were joined by “Breaking Bad” actor Aaron Paul and his wife Lauren Parsekian.

An eyewitness told the magazine, “They stood up for a couple of the ovations.”

Johnson didn’t say much about her relationship during an interview with Tatler, but she did drop a hint that it was going well.

“I’m not going to talk about it, but I am very happy,” she said in the interview as reported by E! News. 

TMZ reported that Johnson and Martin threw a gender reveal party with blue and pink balloons for their families and friends. The outlet also said that Johnson’s parents, Julia Roberts, and Sean Penn were present. 

A representative for Johnson spoke with Us Weekly to confirm that the actor wasn’t pregnant. They also noted that the party was for Johnson’s birthday. 

On an episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” following the TMZ article, Johnson said, “The only thing I’m pregnant with is a lot of good ideas, but not any babies.”

Later that month, E! News reported that they celebrated Thanksgiving in New York with Paltrow, Falchuk, Apple, and Moses.

A source told the outlet, “Gwyneth thinks she is lovely. She gets on very well with her and is happy for Chris. They’ve spent a good amount of time together and have a very nice friendship. The kids really like Dakota and enjoy spending time with her.”

Johnson and Martin were seen walking her dog, Zeppelin, outside in Malibu. Both of them were barefoot in the photo.

The outlet reported that Johnson and Martin parted ways.

A source told The Sun, “Chris and Dakota were very easygoing and always seemed really happy together. There was talk of engagement but now he says they have gone their separate ways, which has come as a real surprise to everyone.”

Days later, a source told Express that Martin and Johnson “could not have been further apart.”

The source continued, “Chris made it clear he wants more kids as soon as possible but Dakota’s career has really taken off and that’s the last thing she wanted to think about right away. It got to the point, last month, where a light seemed to flick on in both their heads and they realized they were pulling in completely opposite directions – so they decided to call it a day.”

The “Working Girl” actor gave her stamp of approval while speaking to People at the Farrah Fawcett Foundation’s Tex-Mex Fiesta in Beverly Hills, California. 

“I love my daughter’s boyfriend. I think that they’re an awesome couple,” Griffith said.

“I love her,” Paltrow told Harper’s Bazaar.

She continued, “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.”

Johnson and Martin dined at Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles, confirming that they’re still very much together. 

Coldplay performed at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London ahead of the release of the band’s ninth studio album “Music of the Spheres.”

Before performing “My Universe,” Coldplay’s collaboration with BTS, Martin pointed to Johnson, who stood on the venue’s balcony.

“This is about my universe, and she’s here,” the musician told the audience, as seen in videos shared on social media.

Martin continued pointing at the actor as he sang the opening lyrics: “You, you are, my universe and I just want to put you first.”

In an interview for “CBS Mornings,” Martin spoke about providing SubPacs for fans attending their tour. A SubPac is a tactile audio system in the form of a wearable vest. It allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing to feel bass beyond that of normal speakers.

“My partner, she said, ‘I got you a Christmas present, a SubPac,” Martin recalled, adding that Johnson explained that Finneas O’Connell wears it onstage when he performs with his sister, Billie Eilish. 

“It vibrates, so it’s useful for someone like Finneas to hear where the one is on the bass drum,” Martin said.

He shared the same story during another interview for the podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend.”

According to MSN, Johnson referenced Martin during a speech at the 2023 Hope for Depression Research Foundation annual luncheon in New York City.

 “A few weeks ago, I was having a low day and my partner said to me, ‘Are you really struggling?’ and I said ‘No?'” Johnson told the crowd.

“And he said, ‘Baby, you are wearing a ‘Cats’ T-shirt.’ As in ‘Cats’ the music,” she continued. “So it turns out, I really was struggling. But that moment lifted me up and pulled me out of it.” 

When asked about what makes musicians attractive, Johnson said, “I think it’s talent. I think it’s the way that they see the world. But I think it really depends on the musician. I’ve known some shitty ones.”

Johnson said that she loves watching Martin perform onstage.

“I could watch him every day,” she said. “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.”

“When people are really good at things, it is [sexy],” Johnson added.

Johnson also spoke glowingly about being a stepmom to Martin’s children, whom he shares with Paltrow. 

“I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart,” she said. 

As for kids of her own, the actor said that she’s open to motherhood and eager to “experience everything that life has to offer.”

“And especially being a woman, I’m like, What a magical fucking thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience. If that’s meant to happen for me, I’m totally down for it,” Johnson said. 

On Friday, the Daily Mail reported that Johnson and Martin ended their engagement and broke up. However, a rep for Johnson confirmed to BI that the pair is still going steady.

“The reports are not true. They are happily together,” Johnson’s rep told BI in an email statement.

Back in March, a source close to the stars told People that they “got engaged years ago but were in no rush to get married.”

Johnson was most recently seen supporting Coldplay’s headlining set at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK in June.
