Los Angeles, Nov 4 (NationPress) Hollywood actress Dakota Johnson appears to be re-entering the dating scene, just five months following her breakup with Chris Martin.
The Fifty Shades star, who parted ways with the Coldplay frontman in June, has reportedly started dating again and is feeling quite happy, according to People magazine.
A source revealed to People, "Her relationship with Chris had its ups and downs, and although she always wished for a resolution, she seems to be in a better place now that it's over."
Numerous sources confirmed in June that Johnson, 36, and Martin, 48, had concluded their nearly eight-year romance.
The couple first sparked dating rumors in 2017 and were seen together as recently as May 16. A source mentioned, "She’s thriving. She’s busy, fulfilled, and has moved on."
According to People, the breakup occurred about three months after insiders suggested the couple had been engaged for “years.”
They initially raised engagement speculation in 2020 but were reportedly "not in a hurry to tie the knot." Roughly two weeks after Martin and Johnson's split, a source mentioned that the breakup "wasn’t a complete surprise," adding that the couple's relationship had faced consistent challenges.
When she appeared on the Today show shortly after the breakup was confirmed, she humorously commented on what she would consider a "non-negotiable" trait if she were to consult a matchmaker.
“Like, not an a--h---?” she quipped at that time. As Johnson approaches the end of 2025, she has an upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's Verity, set to hit theaters on October 2, 2026. This year, she starred in both Materialists and the comedy Splitsville. The actress and producer is also gearing up to direct her debut feature film titled A Tree Is Blue, which will co-star Jessica Alba.
