Stop the presses! Despite earlier reports that Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have called off their engagement, the two remain “happily together.”
Friday morning, MailOnline broke the news that the Madame Web actress and Coldplay frontman had separated after seven years.
Even though a source told People in June that the couple were “going strong,” MailOnline’s source stated, “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 said both were “busy people” with Martin having been in Europe for Coldplay’s tour and “personal priorities, passions and work commitments which don’t naturally intertwine with each other.”
“They wanted it to work but it just hasn’t, and they’ve now accepted it is best to move on.”
However, now Johnson’s rep is speaking out and clearing up the rumors.
“They are happily together,” the actress’ rep told People Friday afternoon.
Sources have claimed Johnson was spotted as recently as two weeks ago cheering on Martin as his band played in Helsinki, Finland.
Coldplay’s new video, “feelslikeimfallinginlove”, was also produced by Johnson’s production company, TeaTime Pictures.
The pair have been known to keep their romantic life extremely private, appearing together only a handful of times since they were first romantically linked in 2017. In March 2024, it was revealed the couple reportedly “got engaged years ago,” though did not have any plans to rush into marriage.
