Who says you can’t be besties with your boyfriend’s ex? Dakota Johnson and Jennifer Lawrence are here to prove that ex drama is sooo 2015. Forget awkward run-ins—these two are living their best lives together, and we have the receipts to prove it. Yes, that’s right: the “Fifty Shades” star and the queen of “I-Tripped-on-the-Oscars-Stage” were just spotted in L.A., shopping and probably trading notes on Chris Martin’s Spotify playlists.
BFF Energy, Activated:
According to the fine staff at Daily Mail, Dakota (35) and Jennifer (34) were seen strolling around L.A. on Sunday, October 27, like two gal pals on a mission—probably hunting down pumpkin spice lattes or the perfect oversized sweater (as one does). And honestly? We love this for them. These two are clearly giving “Sisterhood of the Traveling Coldplay Boyfriend” vibes, and we’re here for it.
What’s a little ex history among friends?
ICYMI, Jennifer and Coldplay’s Chris Martin—yep, Mr. “Yellow” himself—dated for a brief minute between 2014 and 2015, before parting ways. Then along came Dakota in 2017, and she’s been harmonizing with Chris ever since. Sure, there were breakup rumors recently, but let’s be real: celebrity breakups are basically Hollywood’s version of Mercury retrograde—annoying, recurring, but usually survivable.
Fashion meets politics—sort of:
In a plot twist nobody saw coming, Jennifer was spotted rocking a Harris-Walz hat—repping the same political team she just endorsed. Casual multitasking queen! Oh, and if you missed it, she’s expecting baby number two with her hubby, Cooke Maroney. Between pregnancies, politics, and hanging out with Dakota, she’s booked and busy.
So, what did these two bond over? Could they be swapping Chris Martin concert stories? Maybe debating which Coldplay song goes harder—“Fix You” or “Clocks”? Or perhaps they’re just talking about normal stuff, like how to survive L.A. traffic or which Trader Joe’s snacks are elite. Either way, we’re loving this unexpected friendship arc.
If Dakota and Jennifer can find peace in the tangled web of exes, then there’s hope for all of us. Normalize making brunch plans with your partner’s ex. Or at the very least, start a book club together. This is the kind of 2024 energy we all need. 🎉
