Chris Martin, 47, and Dakota Johnson, 34, have reportedly ended their seven-year relationship and called off their engagement, according to multiple sources. The Coldplay frontman and the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ actress, who began dating in 2017, have been struggling to maintain their relationship due to busy schedules and differing priorities.A source close to the couple told the Daily Mail, ‘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 source added, ‘Both are busy people. Chris was in Europe with Coldplay and they have personal priorities, passions, and work commitments that don’t naturally intersect’.Signs of trouble in the relationship became apparent when Johnson was spotted without her engagement ring in Malibu earlier this month. She has also been noticeably absent from Martin’s ‘Music of the Spheres’ world tour. The couple had previously experienced a brief split in 2019, which was reportedly mediated by Martin’s ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow.Despite the breakup, sources indicate that the pair will ‘always have love for each other’. The couple had been living together in a €12.5 million mansion in Point Dume since 2021, and it remains unclear who will keep the Pacific Ocean-front residence.Neither Martin nor Johnson have publicly commented on the reported split. As they move forward separately, fans and media alike will be watching to see how this high-profile breakup unfolds.
