The rumor mill has been working overtime again! Dakota Johnson, the enchanting 34-year-old star of Madame Web, and Chris Martin, Coldplay’s eternal heartthrob at 47, have been quietly (and I mean quietly) dating for a whopping seven years. That’s practically a Hollywood eternity! They’ve managed to keep their love life more secret than the Colonel’s recipe, but let’s be real, that just makes us all the more obsessed.
Recently, the internet lost its collective mind when Dakota was spotted gasp without her engagement ring. The Daily Mail practically exploded with headlines, suggesting that the couple had called it quits. Engagement off! Hearts broken! Cue the dramatic music!
But wait! Before you start drafting your tear-stained breakup songs, let’s clear the air. Dakota’s reps have come forward to put the rumors to rest faster than you can say “Fix You.” According to the team, all is well in paradise. “They are happily together,” they said, likely while rolling their eyes at the hysteria.
Let’s take a moment to remember that just this past June, Dakota was living her best life at the Glastonbury Festival, cheering on her rockstar beau from the crowd. I mean, if showing up at one of the biggest music festivals to support your partner isn’t couple goals, I don’t know what is. An insider even spilled the tea to People, saying that the pair was “going strong.” Strong like a Coldplay anthem, people!
Apparently, they’ve had some “ups and downs,” but who hasn’t? Maybe they argued over whether “Yellow” is really about the color or just a metaphor, but honestly, it’s all speculation. The point is, they’re back on, and they’re solid. As for the engagement? Well, rumor has it they’ve been secretly engaged for years, but, in true Dakota and Chris fashion, they’re in no rush to say “I do.” They’re playing the long game—who needs a wedding when you’ve got seven years of secret bliss?
Dakota and Chris are still a thing. The ring is off, but the love is definitely still on. Now, can we all chill out and let these two live their best, super-private lives?
