If it isn’t Chris Martin, the Coldplay king, once again making sure the world knows that despite breaking up with Dakota Johnson (again?), Materialists is the must-see movie of the year.
Here’s the tea: Earlier this week, gossip (the juicy, delicious kind) had it that Chris, 48, and Dakota, 35, had called it quits. Sources were all like, “Oh, it’s definitely final this time,” as if they could read the stars or something. But guess what? Chris is doing what any self-respecting ex would do—pushing his ex’s latest project like it’s the last bottle of champagne at an influencer brunch.
At Coldplay’s glam Vegas concert on June 6, Chris took a moment (because he’s THAT nice) to remind the crowd that while his relationship with Dakota might be over, her new movie Materialists is here to live on forever.
“Thank you so much everybody. Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other. And don’t forget to go see Materialists! We love you!” Chris yelled into the mic, as if Dakota was listening from backstage, checking her watch and thinking, “Awww, that’s my guy…who’s also my ex.”
And let’s not forget, this wasn’t even the first time he gave the movie a shoutout. On June 1, a few days before we all heard the sad news of their split, he casually mentioned, “Hey, go watch Dakota’s movie, no big deal,” because, why wouldn’t you promote your ex’s movie when you’ve just broken up? Nothing says “I’m over it” like helping her climb the Hollywood ladder.
At this point, we can only imagine Dakota at the premiere, texting her friends like, “So, we’re promoting my film post-breakup now, huh? It’s like a weirdly supportive ex situation, but okay, whatever works.”
So yeah, whether they’re officially over or just “on a break” (Ross Geller-style), one thing’s for sure: Dakota’s movie is getting the press and the love from Chris. They may not be dating anymore, but Materialists? Now that’s eternal.
Oh, and for those of you waiting for the official word on whether they’ve broken up, don’t hold your breath. Chris and Dakota are keeping it mysteriously mum. Like, too cool for school mysterious. In the meantime, Materialists hits theaters on June 13—be there or be square!
@audrhi I don’t think Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson are broken up. He just promoted her new movie. Maybe to clap back at all the tabloid stories! #Coldplay ♬ original sound – rhiannon rae
