Actress Dakota Johnson is choosing to focus on herself and her career after quietly ending her nearly eight-year relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin earlier this month. As per the reports in The News, according to a source close to the actress, the split wasn’t unexpected. “Dakota’s doing well. The spilt wasn’t exactly a shock,” the source told People, adding that the couple “had the same issues for a while.”
Now, the 35-year-old actress is said to be focusing on living a life with intention. “She wants to live her life very intentionally – she doesn’t want to have any regrets,” the insider added. “She loves all her creative projects and is excited about her career. She believes there is more to life than work though. She wants a meaningful life on all levels.”
Chris and Dakota were known for keeping their relationship private. While they sparked engagement rumours back in 2020, it was only recently revealed that they had been engaged for years. Despite that, their breakup appears to have been mutual and low-key, just like much of their time together.
On the work front, Dakota Johnson recently starred in Materialists, which hit theatres on June 13 and she’ll be next seen in Splitsville, premiering on August 22. Meanwhile, Chris Martin is set to resume Coldplay’s world tour, starting July in Toronto and continuing through September in North America and the UK.
Though their paths have now diverged, both seem focused on their own personal and professional journeys moving forward.
