Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are over — for good.
The couple have ended their eight-year on-off relationship once again, People reported on Wednesday.
“It feels final this time,” an insider shared.
The Post reached out to a rep for Johnson for comment.
The “Fifty Shades of Grey” actress, 35, who is the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, first started dating in 2017. They were last pictured together in Malibu on May 16.
In 2024, an insider told the outlet that the exes had been engaged for “years” but were “in no rush to get married.”
In August of that year, Johnson’s rep confirmed to The Post that the two did not end their engagement despite rumors.
“The reports are not true. They are happily together,” the rep shared at the time.
At the time, sources told the Daily Mail that the musician had “accepted the relationship is over and it was “best to move on” after seven years with the “Madame Web” actress.
“Chris and Dakota have tried desperately hard over the past few months to make their relationship work,” the insider claimed. “They’ll always have love for each other but they’ve both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term.”
“They’re both busy people,” they continued. “Chris has been in Europe with Coldplay and they both have personal priorities, passions and work commitments which don’t naturally intertwine with each other.”
“They wanted it to work but it just hasn’t,” the source continued, “and they’ve now accepted it is best to move on.”
In 2019, the pair allegedly broke up because Martin wanted to have children; however, they reconciled soon after.
Johnson and Martin first got together three years after Martin and his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, “consciously uncoupled” before finalizing their divorce in 2015. The exes share daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses, 19.
Over the years, Paltrow, 52, and Johnson have gotten close. The Goop founder gushed over their tight bond in 2020.
“I love her,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “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.”
Johnson has also spoken out about her involvement in Apple and Moses’ lives over the years, telling Bustle in 2024: “I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.”
Along with being a support system for the children, the actress also took a moment to gush over seeing her then partner perform all over the world.
As Johnson put it, “I don’t know. I love watching him. I could watch him every day. I don’t know how to explain it. I feel like, I don’t know… I’m watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing.”
Martin has previously dated Jennifer Lawrence in 2014 and 2015 while Johnson was linked to Welsh musician Matthew Hitt for two years from 2014 to 2016.
