Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have been in a seemingly never-ending engagement for the past six years, as per Hollywood insiders. There have been some rumblings about the couple finally taking the plunge and getting married soon, according to reports from Page Six and the Mirror. Despite a $14.4 million beachfront home in Malibu that they share, the couple has been content to remain engaged for an extended period.
According to sources close to the couple, Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have had their fair share of rocky moments and even brief splits during their engagement. There were times when they were reportedly broken up, only to get back together and remain betrothed. This rollercoaster of a relationship has had its ups and downs, but the couple seems to have weathered the storm and are still engaged.
The engagement rumors first started swirling around Dakota Johnson back in 2020 when she was spotted wearing a dazzling emerald ring on her left ring finger. While it is believed to be an engagement ring, she doesn’t wear it all the time. Johnson was seen wearing the ring during her 34th birthday celebration with Martin at a romantic eatery and at an event in New York City where she was honored. However, she did not wear it while hosting “Saturday Night Live” or at the after party in NYC.
Interestingly, Chris Martin’s ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, seems to have given her seal of approval to the couple. Paltrow described Dakota Johnson as an “adorable, wonderful person” and mentioned that she is “good friends” with her. Johnson, in turn, expressed her love for Martin and Paltrow’s teen children, Apple, and Moses, and referred to herself as a stepmother figure to them. She also expressed her openness to having children of her own in the future.
Chris Martin was previously married to Gwyneth Paltrow for 11 years before they famously announced their “conscious uncoupling” in 2014. Their divorce was finalized in 2016, and since then, Martin has been in a long-term engagement with Dakota Johnson. Johnson, on the other hand, has never been married before, making this engagement all the more intriguing.
The engagement of Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson seems to be a never-ending saga of love, commitment, and the occasional bump in the road. Despite the long six years they have been engaged, the couple appears to be in no rush to walk down the aisle anytime soon. With the approval of Martin’s ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, and their shared love for all the children involved, their relationship seems to be on solid ground. Only time will tell if this Hollywood couple will finally make it official and tie the knot.
