Fifty Shades of Gray star, Dakota Johnson, has reportedly split up with her partner of eight years, Chris Martin, and has now revealed one of her non-negotiable dating rules
Dakota Johnson has revealed the one rule her partners must stick to in the wake of her breakup with Coldplay’s Chris Martin. The Fifty Shades of Gray star, 35, has reportedly called it quits with the Fix You singer, 48, after eight years together.
Dakota, who is currently starring in the flick, Materialists, in which her character boasts several love interests – including Marvel star, Chris Evans – was pretty clear about the one thing her prospective partner must not be as she opened up about her expectations. Speaking to Craig Melvin on the June 9 episode of Today, she stated: “Just, like, not an a**hole.” Chuckling, Chris, who was seen looking cosy with Dakota during the New York premiere of their film on the weekend, replied: “That’s concise. There it is. Nail on the head.”

Dakota’s blunt reply comes amid reports that she and Chris Martin have called it a day. On June 4, it was reported that the couple—who first sparked dating rumours in 2018—had gone their separate ways.
The actress’ rep was forced to deny break-up rumours back in August 2024 and then almost a year later, Dakota was seen out in New York without her engagement ring.
Neither Dakota nor Chris has confirmed or spoken about the reports yet, but a source has claimed that the rumoured split has been “painful” for the daughter of Melanie Griffiths. Speaking to the Sun, they revealed: “Dakota wanted this relationship to work.
“She not only loves Chris, but his two kids, and that loss feels incredibly painful. The decision to end things was amicable, but Dakota is finding it hard.
“Over the past year, it became clear that their relationship had stalled and wasn’t moving forwards.”
However, Chris—who shares kids Apple Martin, 21, and Moses Martin, 19, with ex Gwyneth Paltrow—is still supporting his ex as he encouraged them to see her new film.
During his June 1 Coldplay show in California, he told the crowd, “Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other. Don’t forget to see Materialists!”
Dakota was seen looking very cosy with her Materialists co-star at the New York City premiere of her new movie on Saturday night.
While she attended the event and posed for photos, the actress had Chris Evans’ arm tightly wrapped around her waist.
Dakota looked in high spirits as she stood in front of the cameras with the Marvel star, but it wasn’t him she locked lips with. In the absence of Pedro Pascal, who also stars in the film as the actress’ ‘perfect match’, she held up a cardboard cut-out of her on-screen love interest and kissed his photo instead.
