Martin and Dakota Johnson have reportedly split for the 'final time' after eight years together. Insiders have claimed that the pair, who first started dating in 2017 and secretly got
engaged in 2020, have gone their separate ways for good. One source has alleged that "it feels final this time" for the Fifty Shades of Grey star, 35, and the Coldplay singer, 48.
The former fiancées were last seen together two weeks ago in Malibu, back in May. Back in August, the couple, who have a 13-year age gap were hit by split rumours, the Mirror reports.
A source said at the time: "They'll always have love for each other but they've both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term." A spokesperson however has
denied the split, stating: "They are happily together."
Dakota has previously referred to Chris' two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow as her "stepchildren".

my heart. How do I feel about motherhood?

"And especially being a woman, I'm like: 'What a magical f*****g thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience.
"If that's meant to happen for me, I'm totally down for it. We're not here for very long, so if I'm meant to be a mother, bring it on."
Chris and Gwyneth share their two kids Apple, 19, and Moses, 17.
The former husband and wife have stayed good friends despite divorcing in 2016 and the Iron Man actress has also previously shown her support for Chris and Dakota's relationship.
Gwyneth, 52, said: "I love her. 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."
The Materialists star recently discussed her new film, which also stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, in an interview.
While she didn't directly discuss her own relationship with Chris, she did make a comment about love and connection.
